World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 2045 - 949: World-Destroying! Two Masters of Yao Xing!
Note: Emperor EYun and Sky Priest EYun are not the same person; they merely share the same name and have no connection.
...
Even though the Serpent Spirit Clan Queen Du Yi has vanished, it does not hinder the gathering call of the Motuo Empire’s war.
With a single command from Emperor Moda, the thirteen Bloodsucking Royal Families of the Motuo Empire assembled and advanced towards the eastern coast.
In fact, more than twenty years ago, Emperor Moda had completed the practical unification of the Northern Barbaric Lands. However, to lessen the vigilance of the Dragon Temple against the Motuo Empire, he slowed down the pace, leaving a quarter of the Northern Barbaric Lands untouched. Hence, Na Xue became the supreme commander for the Motuo Empire’s external campaigns over the following decades, which was also a gesture of Emperor Moda towards the Dragon Temple.
During these past ten to twenty years, Emperor Moda was constantly preparing to invade the Southern Barbaric Lands. Unfortunately, the decrees from the Dragon Temple prevented him from launching a full-scale invasion, forcing him to lead a force of Bloodsucking Royal Family down south through Na Xue.
Now that Na Xue is annihilated, Emperor Moda has finally realized his wish.
The people of the Dragon Temple are indeed too greedy; they want to obliterate the Flame Demon Empire, want Lanling to have nothing left, yet they are reluctant to open the Heaven Tomb on a large scale, even more unwilling to harm their own power. Thus, they use the Motuo Empire as a sharp blade to slaughter the Flame Demon Emperor without considering the risk of nurturing a tiger to disaster.
So, in the minds of the high-ranking members of the Dragon Temple, Emperor Moda is ultimately but a mere experiment, giving them a sense of inexplicable control over him.
During this time span of twenty years, Emperor Moda gathered the vast power of the empire, creating tens of thousands of gigantic warships, thousands of airships capable of transporting astronomical numbers of troops, bypassing the Fallen Lands and entering the Southern Barbaric Lands.
In the past decade, Emperor Moda constructed colossal docks extending over five hundred miles along the eastern coast.
Behind the docks are massive barracks, countless castles, all densely populated with the Motuo Empire’s armies.
All thirteen Bloodsucking Royal Family armies are assembled here! (Na Xue inherited the forces of Prince Dichacha, but after he was destroyed, Emperor Moda immediately bestowed this title upon another close royal family to ensure the permanent structure of thirteen royal families and thirteen princes within the Motuo Empire.)
While in the Motuo Empire, the Na Xue legion killed Prince Dichacha and all his sons, fully inheriting Prince Dichacha’s power, becoming one of the thirteen princes of the Motuo Empire. Subsequently, she continued to seize territories from other Bloodsucking Princes, even encroaching on the Crown Prince Motuo’s direct family forces.
Thus, when she was at her peak, she possessed the power equivalent to that of two Bloodsucking Royal Families. When she advanced southward, she commanded five million troops.
Then, how many troops did the Motuo Empire lead south this time?
Only twenty million!
Indeed, just twenty million, merely four times the number of Na Xue’s legion.
But... the strength is over ten times that of the Na Xue legion! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
The Motuo Empire employs a system of imperial centralization along with a feudal structure. Thirteen Bloodsucking Royal Families collectively possess forty percent of the empire’s military strength, the Crown Prince holds ten percent, and Emperor Moda wields half of the empire’s power. This is merely according to the empire’s official data, and in reality, Emperor Moda holds many secret forces, having opened up numerous mysterious planes and even tamed the Void Legion from these planes.
Therefore, the simple power in Emperor Moda’s hands surpasses the Na Xue legion by more than tenfold.
This invasion of the Flame Demon Empire belongs entirely to a lion hunting a rabbit; the Motuo Empire has summoned most of its strength. Although the number of troops is only four times that of the Na Xue legion, their actual strength exceeds tenfold.
The Na Xue legion had only two Sub-Kings, while the number of Sub-Kings in the Emperor Moda legion is an astonishing forty-nine.
At its peak, the Na Xue legion had only a hundred Demon Saints, while the number of Demon Saints in the Emperor Moda legion remains a secret due to the many unknown Void Legions. However, the registered Demon Saints within the Motuo Empire exceed more than two thousand.
As for Demon Venerable and Demon Sect layers, they are cosmic figures.
Considered the ace of the Motuo Empire, the Undead Warrior Group has reached a staggering six million.
In conclusion, the invading forces of the Motuo Empire are absolutely unbeatable by the Flame Demon Empire. Even with the Hell Condensing Demon Formation, even with Energy Arrays, there’s no possible defense.
Even with Emperor Moda alone, it would be effortless to destroy all Hell Condensing Demon Formations and Energy Arrays of the Flame Demon Empire.
"Board the ships!"
"Board the airships!"
The Crown Prince Motuo commanded.
Instantly, countless troops from the Motuo Empire swarmed like ants, boarding the gigantic warships and airships.
The docks extending over five hundred miles were occupied like a tide by various energy beasts and Bloodsucking Demons, surging towards the grand fleet on the sea and airships.
The giant warships and airships of the Motuo Empire are extremely advanced.
The air palace of the Na Xue legion relied on gigantic birds for transport, while the gigantic airships of Emperor Moda entirely used new crystal stone dynamics to ascend independently into the sky.
Each warship on the sea was powered entirely by crystal stones.
And both on the giant ships and giant airships, there are more than a dozen crystal stone cannons.
The Flame Demon Empire possesses a powerful Hell Condensing Demon Formation, which the Motuo Empire also has—and far more advanced, not just a generation ahead.
The Flame Demon Empire has two types of Crystal Energy Arrays, while the Motuo Empire has long miniaturized these large Crystal Energy Arrays, turning them into crystal stone cannons.
In short, apart from Spatial Skill, any secret weapon the Flame Demon Empire has, the Motuo Empire possesses them all and with advances of two to three generations.
Therefore, whether it’s naval battles, aerial battles, or ground wars, the Motuo Empire holds overwhelming superiority in combat force by dozens of times.
It took a full fifteen days for twenty million troops to board the warships.
Instantly, the barracks by the coastal docks were entirely vacated. Tens of thousands of giant ships spread out across the sea, occupying a maritime area of over fifty thousand square kilometers.
In the sky, tens of thousands of giant boats spread out, also covering over fifty thousand square kilometers.
This was truly heaven-shrouding, earth-covering.
"Advance, head south!" commanded the Crown Prince Motuo.
Immediately, the awe-inspiring army of the Motuo Empire majestically headed south, possessing an atmosphere of earth-shattering devastation.
This scene, indeed brimming with the magical beauty of industrialization.
...
The sealing place of the Dragon King’s Bloodline!
"We cannot sit idly by," said Kui Shuangshuang. "I must enter the memories, recalling everything from when I first entered the sealed prison, including the energy aura."
Already ugly and charred, Kui Shuangshuang sat cross-legged with closed eyes, beginning to reminisce.
"When we came in, Lanling had already taken the Dragon King’s Bloodline. It was a mass of golden energy resembling a galaxy within the universe, incredibly mysterious. Although it lasted only very briefly, I was able to sense that it was an exceedingly pure power of the Demon Race’s king." Kui Shuangshuang excitedly said, "And the Dragon King’s Bloodline not only contains the Demon Golden Bloodline but also the Dragon Golden Bloodline. However, Emperor EYun used his supreme godliness to completely separate the Dragon King’s Bloodline—demon to demon, dragon to dragon. Lanling only took away the Demon Race kingly bloodline, so there must be the Dragon King Bloodline remaining."
Kui Shuangshuang instantly became excited, roaring, "Yes, there is definitely a king-level bloodline inside this sealed prison, the Dragon King Bloodline. However, it has been hidden away by Emperor EYun, we must find it, we must find it."
Next, Kui Shuangshuang and Du Yi frantically searched within the sealed prison for the other half of the Demon Dragon King’s bloodline, the golden Dragon Bloodline.
Even though this is merely a possibility.
...
Netherworld Plane.
Lanling remained conscious, but completely unable to control his soul and energy, like a mass of water in a vast ocean, entirely adrift with the current.
Completely unable to establish contact with Yao Xing.
The whole Netherworld has absolutely no concept of space, nor any concept of time.
Lanling realized, at this rate he would never, ever find Misfortune Demon Emperor’s legacy. Of course, perhaps after several billion years, his energy might coincidentally encounter that of Emperor EYun’s.
But even if his soul energy met that of Emperor EYun, it would be completely futile.
Because, within the Netherworld, although every soul energy is crowded together, most are unconscious, with only a very few possessing consciousness. Moreover, each soul is an isolated island, forever unable to communicate with one another.
Perhaps in the Sea of the Netherworld, Lanling had already encountered Misfortune Demon Emperor, but would never know, nor could he recognize! Just like you cannot distinguish whether a droplet in the sea comes from the Ganges or the Yellow River.
He could not continue to drift aimlessly like this; he needed to use wisdom to solve the problem.
What was the connection between Lanling and Misfortune Demon Emperor, what was in common?
Very simple, both are masters of Yao Xing! Yao Xing is the only connecting point between the two.
However, now Lanling can no longer contact Yao Xing.
Could it be that before entering the Netherworld, Yao Xing left Lanling’s body, searching for the next host? To find Kui Shuangshuang, or Fu Lingxi?
No, no, absolutely impossible!
Before entering the Netherworld, Yao Xing did everything possible to keep Lanling’s soul from sleeping, to prevent its dispersal, indicating it was determined not to abandon Lanling.
Lanling entered the Netherworld successfully retaining consciousness, how could Yao Xing leave him at this time?
Yao Xing had experienced many hosts, but without a doubt, Lanling was a very special one, also very close to success, how could it willingly give up?
So Yao Xing must still be inside him.
Then why could Lanling not communicate with Yao Xing?
Yes, because of the plane!
In the real plane, Lanling is a living being, a soul entity, Yao Xing is also an energy lifeform, so they can communicate freely.
But in the Netherworld, Lanling became a mass of data, a mass of energy, crowded with countless data and energy, much like the Sea of the Netherworld.
Then Yao Xing might have also changed into another state.
Therefore, he must find another way to communicate with Yao Xing.
Thus, Lanling’s consciousness continuously entered the Meditative World!
The entire Netherworld is a sea of data, a sea of energy, completely unable to communicate.
Then, within the Meditative World, Lanling constructed another world, a complete real-world, a plane where living beings could communicate with each other.
Entering the first layer of meditation, not enough.
Entering the second layer of meditation, still not enough.
The third layer, the fourth layer, the fifth layer...
The deeper the meditation, the more Lanling became selfless.
He even forgot the fact he was in the Netherworld, even forgot who he was, or what he came to do.
"Boom..."
Lanling entered the deepest layer of the Meditative World!
This world was still an ocean, a real vast sea, the sea waters unruffled, smooth like a mirror.
The sea water was not blue, but a wonderful green, like the green of jade.
A sun hung in the sky, frozen completely still. On the other side of the sun, there was a moon, also hanging motionless in the sky.
This seemed to be an eternally still world.
Yao Xing? Where’s Yao Xing?
Suddenly, from afar a small boat drifted over!
There was a person in the boat, rowing.
From a distance, Lanling couldn’t see his figure.
As it drew near, it was a faceless man, a faceless one!
Faceless Man!
The Hell Knight had seen it before, even Kui Shuangshuang had seen it.
Every time, it was the one carrying the Demon Tear, awakening the legacy of the Hell Knight.
"Your Majesty, I am Yao Xing. This faceless one’s image is my reflection in the world." The faceless one said, "Please board the boat, I will take you to find Emperor EYun, to complete the legacy of the two masters of Yao Xing!"
