Witch Wind

Chapter 226: The Ascension Nest (Part )

The four-party coalition forces were unstoppable and attacked from all sides, forcing the Kingdom of Yidoli to retreat step by step and have no power to fight back.

In the northern border, in the east, and in the west, legion after legion of the Yidoli Kingdom's army raised the white flag. The war had already broken out for a full half month, and the total casualties of the Yidoli Kingdom's army were less than 10,000!

Xing Tianli didn't find it strange at all.

Once upon a time, it was recorded in the official history of the Dayu Dynasty that the coalition forces of a hundred countries fiercely attacked the Dayu Dynasty, broke open the country's gates with their strong ships and powerful guns, and the three imperial army corps of the Dayu Dynasty guarding Fentian City fought several battles with the coalition forces of a hundred countries. The main forces that played a decisive role and dealt an almost devastating blow to the imperial army of the Dayu Dynasty were Yingjishi and Saint Norman.

Farus, known as the strongest army in the Western Continent, fought rather poorly.

As for Yi Duoli, he was the culprit for the poor performance of Falushi. On several occasions, the main force of Falushi was almost ambushed by the imperial army of Dayu Dynasty in order to rescue the Yi Duoli people wandering around on the battlefield. He narrowly escaped death several times...

The Idoli people, this nation, their men, have art and taste integrated into their bones, but they do not have even a little bit of the toughness and bravery that a male should have - these words were spoken by the founding emperor of the Saint Norman Empire!

In half a month, some strange people came to Lilia City.

In the north of Lilia City, dozens of small airships flew slowly by. Pretty girls wearing traditional Idori white long skirts and flower crowns on their heads carried huge flower baskets and scattered freshly picked petals from the airships.

The sky was filled with red and white rose petals. On the ground, the scarlet cashmere carpet was embroidered with gold and silver. It was gorgeous and luxurious. The thick carpet stretched for thirty miles from the north gate of Lilia City.

A large group of blond handsome men, wearing Idoli antique armor that was polished to a shiny finish and could reflect their shadows like mirrors, and holding antique knight swords also made by Idoli masters, stood with their heads held high and chests puffed out beside the cashmere carpet, forming a long ceremonial line.

Ogutungu and Di Sao, the two foreign races who always acted bossy in front of Prince Qiao Sen, were running around today, busy arranging the welcoming ceremony and carefully examining every detail.

A large group of citizens of Lilia City, regardless of age, all carefully selected handsome men and beautiful women, all dressed in festive costumes, gathered outside the city, holding bouquets of flowers, and looking curiously into the distance.

This kind of style would be of similar standard even if one were welcoming the emperor of a certain country.

Xing Tianli mixed in the welcoming crowd, looking at Aogutonggu and Di Suo curiously - these two guys suddenly prepared such a grand welcoming ceremony, who were they welcoming?
Liu Jing held the bottle of wine and stood lazily beside Xing Tianli. He took a sip of wine and then muttered in a low voice, "These two guys have high rankings in the Civilization Spark Committee and the Pantheon. The one who allowed them to fawn over him like this, could it be that someone from the Civilization Seed and Son of God sequence of those two families has arrived?"

Xing Tianli came up to Liu Jing and laughed softly, "My dear prince, what are the two families you mentioned? What kind of seed? What kind of son of God?"

Liu Jing looked around hurriedly, stretched out her right index finger, put it in front of her lips, and made a soft "hush" sound. She blinked her eyes, burped, and with a little bit of drunkenness, she took Xing Tianli's palm and wrote quickly on his palm.

Are you a little drunk?
When this girl was writing, part of the text was written in the ancient French court language, and part of it was written directly in the small seal script of the Eastern Kingdom of Shenzhou.

But fortunately, Xing Tianli recognized them all.

Liu Jing first explained the origins of the Civilization Spark Committee and the Pantheon - two extremely evil, extremely brutal, extremely chaotic, and extremely sinful organizations. They caused an originally glorious, rich, prosperous, and great civilization to disappear directly in the long river of history.

Liu Jing told Xing Tianli that the ancestors of the Eternal Life Cult used supreme magic power to break through the void and descend into a certain world. They originally wanted to bring civilization, progress and other wonderful things to the other side.

However, those two evil organizations betrayed the goodwill of the ancestors of the Church of Eternal Life. They launched a war and used extermination methods to almost destroy the ecology of that world, ultimately leading to the near-destruction of all three parties.

The seeds of civilization of the Civilization Spark Committee and the Sons of God of the Pantheon have identities similar to those of the three women of Liu Jing in the Church of Eternal Life.

However, the Church of Eternal Life only has three saints. They have extraordinary privileges and also bear extraordinary responsibilities.

As for the Spark of Civilization Committee and the Pantheon, the number of their civilization seeds, sons of God, reserve seeds, reserve sons of God, and so on is extremely huge. They are like leeks that will quickly emerge after one batch dies.

Xing Tianli frowned, watching Liu Jing writing quickly on his palm. He muttered in a low voice, "Three? Compared to many? Does it mean that you...have fewer resources...than they do? Are their two families...joining forces...to fight your family?"

As soon as Xing Tianli said this, Liu Jing's fingers, which were writing rapidly, suddenly froze. She angrily shook off Xing Tianli's hand, raised the wine bottle, and took a big gulp.

Xing Tianli nodded thoughtfully.

According to the information written by Liu Jing, it seems that the Eternal Life Cult is the remnant of the forces that invaded that world back then? They were labeled as a cult by the local natives, and survived the joint suppression of the Committee and the Pantheon?

No wonder the forces behind Aogutonggu, Di Suo and others, and even these extraordinary large creations, were moved here from that world, while the three women of Liu Jing could only come here alone and pitifully through such a tiny passage?
Look at how much aid the Civilization Spark Committee has given to the Kingdom of Yingjishi.
Let’s take a look at the Pantheon. How much benefit has it given to the Kingdom of Saint Norman and the Holy Mother Church?
And what about Liu Jing’s three daughters?

Apart from the dozens of jars of Black Sun Divine Pills and one Immortal Hundred Dragons Pill that Liu Jing took out... Liu Yan and Liu Jing, the two girls, are getting it for free - hey, hey, hey, two beautiful young ladies, they are getting it for free!
They did not give the Black Crow Empire any more benefits. Instead, Xing Tianli had given them three provinces and promised them three colonial continents as dowries. Even these days, they ate his food, drank his drinks, wore his clothes, and lived in his house... all the expenses were paid by him!
Xing Tianli didn't want to pay any attention to Liu Jing anymore.

With a hint of chilly fragrance, Liu Yan quietly approached Xing Tianli. She also grabbed one of Xing Tianli's hands and quickly wrote on his palm in fluent ancient Lushi court script, giving him the ultimate promise - serve my religion and enjoy eternal life!

By the way, Liu Yan assigned Xing Tianli another task - to keep a close eye on Marquis Heiyun, also known as the Duke of Jieshi Xing Tianli, and find out all his background. If possible, let the official forces of the Black Crow Empire in Dongguo Shenzhou thoroughly investigate the current situation in Dongguo Shenzhou, especially all information related to the 'Wu Family'.

Xing Tianli pursed his lips and nodded slowly.

Very good, you just drew a big pie out of thin air and you plan to let me risk my life for you?

Haha, your eyes are indeed on Eastern Shenzhou - but, you are also from the Wu clan, why don’t you contact Eastern Shenzhou directly?

Xing Tianli coughed lightly, walked to the Ghost King's clone who was more than ten feet away, and greeted him with a high five with a smile: "Your Highness, you have power and influence beyond the emperor in the Eastern Divine Land... I think that the Black Crow Empire and your Jieshi Duke's Mansion should help each other. In this way, we can respond to each other from afar in the Eastern Land and the Western Continent, isn't it wonderful?"

Liu Yan and Liu Xie nodded in satisfaction.

That's the reason. We should quickly get close to Lord Jieshi, who comes from the Eastern Shenzhou and clearly has powerful witch cultivation. It would be best if they could place restrictions on Lord Jieshi, directly control him, and gain control of his power.

The Ghost King's clone laughed "Haha" and responded to Xing Tianli's proposal very enthusiastically. The two of them exchanged a few simple words, then held each other's hands passionately, and acted as if they were going to set up an incense table, kill a rooster, drink blood wine, and become sworn brothers on the spot.

'Buzz'!
In the distance, large clouds were rolling. Suddenly, thick clouds appeared out of nowhere in the blue sky. Along with the low sound of thunder and lightning, a ray-shaped airship, covered with heavy armor, about two miles long from head to tail and about five miles wide from left to right, with faint blue lightning lingering all over its body, slowly broke through the clouds, slowed down little by little, and glided towards this side.

Ogutonggu and Di Sao stopped immediately. When they whistled, several pretty Idori girls came up with sweet smiles and carefully arranged their gorgeous dresses, tidying up all the folds of the clothes.

The huge airship slowly arrived thirty miles away, and then slowly descended.

The airship pod opened with a "hissing" sound, and two teams of soldiers wearing fully enclosed heavy armor but with very different design styles marched out in neat steps.

A team of armored soldiers, the lines of their armor are smooth and graceful, and light patterns can be faintly seen flickering on the matte metal armor, full of "science fiction" feeling.

The armor of the other team of soldiers was quite ferocious, with sharp horns at important joints. At first glance, the material of the armor looked like a mixture of muscle and some kind of insect shell. At the connection of the armor, there were clear muscle lines and tendon blood vessels that bulged out, beating rapidly from time to time. This kind of armor was full of the strange style of exotic mutant creatures. Looking at it from a distance could trigger the deepest fear in people's hearts. Children would definitely have nightmares at night if they saw it.

The high-tech armor obviously comes from the Civilization Spark Committee behind Augustus and Ogutongu. They take the path of their own genetic ascension and cooperate with ultra-high-tech products.

And the armor with a strong biological texture clearly came from the Pantheon. These guys, they are recklessly undergoing physical transformation and alienation, and those armors are directly grown from their flesh!

There are two paths, and it is hard to tell which one is higher or lower.

But looking at that world, the two forces are obviously hostile to each other, yet they can coexist harmoniously. You can see that in terms of overall strength comparison, neither of them can do anything to the other.

There were two teams of soldiers, each with three hundred men.

Xing Tianli carefully felt the aura they exuded. The ordinary soldiers were all at the human immortal level, the ordinary decapitators had the combat power of the earth immortal level, and the six centurions, their combat power was enough to compete with the celestial immortals.

Seeing such a large proportion of high-end combat power, Xing Tianli felt a toothache.

There are tens of millions of soldiers and evil spirits in his Tongtian Yuling Banner. How much of their celestial-level combat power is this?
After the two teams of soldiers came out, a dozen men and women who were obviously of higher status, wearing gorgeous silk robes, with blond hair and golden eyes, or blond hair and blood-red eyes, surrounded two pairs of young men and women and slowly walked out of the cabin.

The boy and girl with blond hair and golden eyes looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, and the boy and girl with blond hair and bloodshot eyes looked about the same age. But no matter what the color of their eyes was, the four little guys all had a sense of arrogance in their eyes and eyebrows.

That domineering and arrogant aura made Xing Tianli want to punch each of these four little guys on the head even though they were thirty miles away!
Truly, that arrogance of looking down on all living beings, as if everyone present were ants, inferior creatures, was really uncomfortable.

Ogutungu and Di Sao, along with a large group of subordinates, quickly went forward to meet them.

The pair of boys with blond hair and golden eyes were called Ogugo and Oguli by them; the pair of boys with blond hair and blood-red eyes were called Dixian and Dimir.

Liu Jing sneered at the side: "What a bunch of barbarians and fools, they even named their children so casually, without any background at all...Ah, Black Crow boy, go and harm those two girls. Make them pregnant, and I will remember your great deed!"

Xing Tianli's face froze and he glanced at Liu Jing sideways.

Ha ha!

How can you say such stupid words?

Liu Lu gently poked Xing Tianli's lower back with his finger and said, "Emperor brother, distinguished guests are here, why don't you take us to greet them? Haha, these four distinguished guests are obviously of noble birth and extraordinary family background. You must take good care of them, and nothing can go wrong here."

Xing Tianli felt a chill in his back and his hair stood on end.

There was too much sarcasm in Liu Liao's words. It was obvious that she wanted to cause some accidents to these four little guys!
Xing Tianli and the Ghost King's clone, along with a large group of followers, walked along the red carpet to greet Ogugo and his four companions.

A meaningless exchange of pleasantries and greetings.

Sure enough, Ogutonggu and others introduced that these four were honorable beings from the forces behind them. Ogugo and Oguli ranked tenth and eleventh in the civilization seed sequence of the Civilization Spark Committee; and Dixi and Dimir were honorable figures ranked seventh and eighth in the sequence of the Sons of God in the Pantheon.

When Ogutungu was introducing them, Ogugo suddenly interrupted him and said, "They were not ranked so high originally. It's just that when we set out, the cultists of the Immortal Cult attacked the Third Divine Realm of the Pantheon crazily and wiped out the seven sons of God who were undergoing trials in the Third Divine Realm. They were lucky enough to be promoted as substitutes."

As soon as Ogugo's words came out, a bloody light surged in Di Xi's blood-red eyes. He brought up a vast blood shadow and arrived in front of Ogugo in an instant at a speed a hundred times the speed of sound. He chopped Ogugo's neck artery with a palm knife.

Ogugo reacted very quickly. As he waved his hands, his left hand turned into silver titanium with a cold glow. With a "clang" sound, sparks flew everywhere. His left palm blocked Di Xi's slashing blow, while his right hand turned into a flexible water whip out of thin air, and with a "swish" sound, it pierced Di Xi's heart.

Di Xi laughed wildly, and his gorgeous silk dress tore apart. His chest muscles, along with his heart and bones in his chest cavity, all split open, forming a transparent hole on their own, allowing Ogugo's water whip to penetrate his body.

He lunged forward, his chest slamming into Ogugo's chest. The two were almost stuck together. Di Xi's skin and flesh collapsed, turning into thousands of purple-black, wet tentacles covered with suction cups, which tangled around Ogugo's body.

Xing Tianli was grinning as he watched.

Ogugo's tricks are understandable to decent humans, but this Di Xi, the things he fiddles with are too disgusting - if you really want to do something, you must kill him first!
This has nothing to do with Di Xi's character or anything like that, and Xing Tianli has no personal grudge against them. It's simply because his way of fighting is too disgusting - a handsome young man suddenly turns into thousands of tentacles that are curling around and licking you. Any cultivator with normal aesthetic taste would want to kill him, right?
In a flash, Ogugo's body turned into metal, and he resisted the strangulation of countless tentacles. Then, extremely sharp ice swords emerged from his metal body and chopped at those tentacles. Large pieces of tentacles were chopped into pieces, and a large amount of sticky black and purple juice sprayed everywhere, making a "hissing" sound when it fell on the ground, and corroded huge holes in the luxurious cashmere carpet.

A thunder roared, and a large piece of purple lightning roared out from Ogugo's body. The lightning was vast and grand, and it actually had a bit of the pure breath of Taoist demon-slaying thunder. The lightning struck the tentacles transformed by Emperor Xi, and a large part of the tentacles were scorched and shrunken by electricity, and continued to turn into flying ash and drift away.

Ogugo and Dixi attacked frantically, Oguli and Dimir also screamed, and the two pretty girls also suddenly attacked and killed each other directly who were so close.

Oguli suddenly turned into a pure gem person with a crystal body and who knows how many tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of cut facets. A terrible high-frequency sound wave came from her body, and the harsh sound waves turned into white sound knives visible to the naked eye, slashing around.

Ogutungu and others dodged in a hurry and saw smoke and dust rising. The ground was cut with countless knife marks that were several feet deep, several miles long, and as thin as a cicada's wing.

The gem facets on Oguli's body flashed with cold light, and countless thin lasers swept out. Countless lasers quickly focused and turned into a laser as thick as a mung bean, slashing towards Dimir in the waist.

Dimir let out a strange howl, and her flesh and blood squirmed. With a "whoosh", she turned into a three-headed, six-winged, pitch-black ferocious creature with a dragon head, an ox head, and a sheep head. The three heads all spewed out dark green flames, and the six wings vibrated. She jumped up several miles high and avoided Oguli's laser attack.

Well, that seemingly extremely thin laser directly swept across the giant airship behind everyone.

Silently, the airship was cut in half. Inside the airship, hundreds of Yingji soldiers who were responsible for driving the airship, as well as many Yingji servants who provided services to Oguli and others when they arrived, were all cut in half. They wailed in pain, fell to the ground, struggled and twitched wildly, but they could not die for a while.

No one knew which important part of the airship was broken. A dull explosion sounded inside the huge airship. Soon, blazing flames enveloped the entire airship. The violent blast wave swept over, turning the clothes of Ogutungu and others into ashes.

Among the blond men and women who were accompanying them, the two middle-aged men who were the strongest and could almost compete with Di Ling, who had fought with Xing Tianli, shouted softly, and they all attacked together to stop the fight between the four people.

Although the four men of Ogugo had strange methods, their true strength was just that of having just stepped into the realm of human immortals... Faced with the methods of a big boss comparable to those of a golden immortal, although they were still shouting and clamoring furiously, they had no choice but to stop.

"Okay, Ogutonggu, since this is the chosen place, let's build the ascension nest as efficiently as possible." A middle-aged man with blond hair and golden eyes and the strength of a golden immortal grabbed Ogugo and Oguli by the neck respectively and gave orders to Ogutonggu helplessly.

Xing Tianli frowned. The nest of ascension?

What is this?

The middle-aged man with blond hair and bloodshot eyes whispered, "Don't forget the agreement. Half of the production capacity of the Ascension Nest you built belongs to us!"
