People in Xumi: I am really not the Dragon King

Chapter 257 Zhongli: It’s time to wake up from the dream, old friend

"Boom——"

With the ancient dragon king Ruota's escape from the predicament,
It was just the collapse of the mountains caused by his huge body crawling out from the ground.
The entire Liyue fell into serious shock.

The shock wave spread rapidly from the Nantianmen area.

Wherever it passed, a series of pre-arranged fairy power barriers lit up.

The Qianyan Army, which had been ordered to withdraw its defense line,

Looking at the countless dust rising from the ground in the Nantianmen area in the distance, even dyeing the sky gray and yellow,

And the lookouts on high places reported back a figure that seemed even larger than the mountains.

I also truly understood why the commander said that all the work they could intervene in had been completed before.

——For the current Qianyan Army who have not personally experienced the Demon God War,

In fact, I have no personal experience of how brutal the war among gods thousands of years ago was.

It was not until this moment that they discovered that

Even though all his colleagues had the absolute belief to face death head-on, and even though most of them had received countless hard training since they were teenagers,
But when such a being that could easily break mountains and shake the entire Liyue land appeared on the battlefield,

They finally deeply experienced the deepest feeling of powerlessness ever felt by the "human race" on the land of Liyue in the past.

On the north side of Nantianmen, in front of the former Fulong tree.

Amid the loud noise caused by the collapse of countless surrounding mountains,

A "mountain" with four legs and two horns on its head.
Under the tremor of the earth, it completely emerged from under the earth.

——It has a very different body from ordinary dragons, brown thorn armor that looks like rock or wood, and golden scales on both sides of its body that bulge upwards like bones.
——There is no doubt that this crocodile-like, dragon-like, mountain-like existence,
It was the Rock Dragon King "Ryota" who once dominated the dragons of Liyue and symbolized the pinnacle of all rock elemental life.

now,

This was born in the dark layers,

The ancient dragon that saw the light for a moment but was eventually sealed in darkness again.

After a roar,

However, he did not take the next step immediately as everyone expected.
Instead, he just stopped his movements and stood quietly in the same place like an ancient tree.

——Ruota found himself as if he had fallen into a dream again.

It had dreamed countless times of leaving that dark and narrow space.

But every time I wake up from the dream, I feel deeper despair.

At first, it seemed to have the power to shake the seal.
But no matter how it thinks about it now, it cannot understand why it did not choose to do that at the time.

——It is the king of rock dragons, the lord of the earth, and the noble dragon born to rule this land!
If it weren't for this damn seal, if it weren't for Morax who sealed it underground, how could it and its own people have fallen to this state!

"."

Looking at the usurper who had seized the power of the ancient dragon, Ruota had no intention of defeating him.

——During these countless years of seal, he no longer knew how many times he had defeated Morax in his dreams, but in the end it was just a meaningless vent.

But the next moment,
Because the earth veins were touched, the unspeakable pain came a hundred times and a thousand times the moment it was released from the seal.

"Roar--"

"Damn humans!!!"

The familiar pain came again, and Ruotu also let out an angry roar.
But in this unprecedented real experience,
Ruota, who had been in a trance due to the wear and tear and the long seal, finally realized his current situation:
——This is not a dream, it really came out of the seal!
"."

"Morax? Haha Morax——"

"——Your damn seal finally failed,
——Now, it’s time to settle everything!!!”

without any hesitation,

The Rādhāra Dragon King, who seemed to be extremely slow in his movements before,

Staring with those scarlet eyes,
The moment he finished speaking, he completely pulled the remaining part of his body out of the ground.
The powerful four legs even created a wave of rock waves around them just by exerting downward force.
"Today is the day when you, a bunch of despicable people, will be buried!"

"——Turn into dust!"

The moment I saw Morax,
Boundless hatred and anger instantly overwhelmed all of Ruota's remaining rationality.
now,

This ancient rock dragon king, under the pain brought by the restoration of the earth veins and the pain accumulated for thousands of years,
It has completely transformed into a giant beast controlled only by instinct.

"boom--"

There was a roar of mountains collapsing.

Ruo Tuo's huge iron tail swept across, breaking the Hulao Mountain behind him in half.
The remaining force swept directly towards the silent enemy in the sky.

Ignoring the three immortals and an insignificant minion beside him,

At this time, Ruota

There was only boundless anger in his heart towards this despicable man who stole the power of the ancient dragon and finally sealed himself underground.

"boom--"

Perhaps it was because the blow was too powerful.

Even though the figure in the sky drew out his rock spear to fight back, he was still directly repelled.

Even his body was sunk into the rocks, and for a moment he looked extremely miserable.

"Morax, what's wrong?!"

"——Where is the power you are so proud of, which you use to suppress us?!"

"——If you hadn't set a trap for me a thousand years ago, how could I have been defeated by a despicable villain like you!!!"

Use the iron tail to smash the mountain in front of you.

He found that the enemy who sealed him in the past was so weak.
Ruota, who could no longer recall the past,

For a moment, he was more convinced that he was the one who should rule this land.
——I must have fallen into some despicable trap before, otherwise such an enemy would not have the ability to seal myself!
Over the past thousand years, the resentment in the darkness has continued to grow.

Ruota, who had been waiting for this moment for who knows how long,

There was absolutely no intention to give the weakling in front of him any chance to fight back:

"Today I will make you pay back all the resentment of a thousand years!"

"—Return to dust, Morax!"

The huge roar set off a sound wave, smashing the surrounding boulders into scattered gravel.

The huge four legs of the Buddha covered with brown rock armor were deeply embedded in the earth.
He absorbed the power from the earth veins without any hesitation.

"Click——"

Because a large amount of power was extracted in a short period of time, the surrounding ground veins were shaken and even made a sound of being on the verge of breaking.
However, as the king of rock dragons, Ryota once attached great importance to the leyline, the place of his birth.

At this moment, I no longer care about everything around me.
He just desperately tried to draw power from it, regardless of the cost, to destroy the enemy in front of him.

next moment,
Looking at the familiar figure holding up the golden shield in front of him,
Ruota felt that his originally smooth movements hesitated for a moment for no apparent reason.

But in the end, this unreserved and powerful attack was launched:
——A huge amount of various elements were forcibly gathered from all over Liyue through the earth veins, and this even caused a short-term elemental vacuum, resulting in abnormal conditions in many areas.
Finally, it transformed into several elemental spheres emitting a terrifying aura, slowly surrounding the Ruota Dragon King.
Fiery red, dark blue, dark purple, light blue.
The faint lights symbolizing different elemental powers flickered on Ruotu's back armor in turn.

And from its slightly slow movements,

It is also obvious that this unusual elemental force operation method is

Even so, it is still a very heavy burden for it and may even cause considerable harm to itself.

——But it’s all worth it,
Although I don't know why Morax in front of me seems to be out of shape because of too much power loss,
But Ruota still seized such an opportunity.
He directly released all the spheres around him that could temporarily endow him with elements at once.

"boom--"

An unprecedented loud noise came from the earth.

The various elemental forces that had already reached the divine level, under the influence of each other,
In an instant, the power increased exponentially.

The light from the explosion was like a newborn sun, suddenly falling on the land of Liyue.

The surging energy swept in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the mountains were razed to the ground, and the once lush forests disappeared in an instant, leaving only charred earth and burning tree branches.

The shock wave formed by the elemental force spread in all directions.

The immortal power barriers it sensed were used to protect the reptiles, and they were shattered by this terrifying force.

The only remaining fragments flashed in the light and then disappeared completely.

But all this is not what the current Rudra Dragon King is concerned about.
It just stared at where Morax was before.
There, the original mountains and land had been completely destroyed, leaving only a huge deep pit.

"."

".You can't even take on an attack like this? It's really just a slightly larger reptile!"

Looking at the enemy who seemed to have lost the ability to move in the deep pit,
Ruota, who had originally intended to put an end to the other party, felt that strange feeling in his heart reappear.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally chose to use a similar method to seal the other party in this valley.

"——My revenge is far from over."

"——Moracus, you will stay here and watch the reptiles you are protecting being destroyed by me, and feel the eternal pain!"

Revenge was accomplished easily.

But Ruota felt that the anger in his heart had not subsided at all.
After easily dealing with the remaining three immortals and the little minion that came from nowhere,
This moving mountain is also in the trembling of the earth,
Prepare to go to the southern city to get rid of those reptiles that are gnawing at the earth veins.

".This is the seventh time, old man, you are really impressive."

".Sorry to bother you, my friend. Ruo Tuo still has a lot of resentment in his heart. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."

"."

He shook his head.

Ruo Tuo, who was about to go and destroy Liyue Harbor, put aside the noise in his mind.

On the way,

This ancient rock dragon king simply casually wielded some of his power around him.
Let all those who dare to stand in our way be utterly destroyed.
The laws of nature, earth veins, and the rules of war
All the things that would worry ordinary demons did not exist in Ruota's mind at this moment.
Having been worn away thousands of years ago,
It is quite rare that it still remembers its hatred for Morax now.

There were no obstacles.

When the Dragon King Ruota arrived at the city, he looked at the buildings that looked like pebbles under his feet.
I don't know why, but I feel a little bored.
After two random attacks, the place where these humans lived was turned into ruins.

Facing Liyue, which was completely silent and free of any noise,

It actually felt once again when it was sealed.

The feeling of panic that one is being completely forgotten by the world and that one's own existence is being erased.

"--Why?!"

"——Morax has been defeated by me, why do I still feel this way?!"

"."

Facing Liyue, where no one could respond to it,

Under the incomparable emptiness, the instinct of destruction once again took over the crazy Rock Dragon.
".It seems that Ruota has forgotten the existence of "wear and tear"?

Instead, you blame everything that happened to it on you, old man?"

In the outside world, a "little minion" who was easily killed by Ruo Tuo many times,
While controlling the rock dragon that was rolling on the ground like a sleepwalker,
While looking at Zhongli beside him.

——It can only be said that the Ryota Dragon King is almost worn out, and his mental resistance is really not good enough now.
If Lin Feng were to evaluate it, it would probably be only slightly better than the "Little Yellow Hair Level".
By utilizing the power of grass consciousness, it is effortless to control it after taking the initiative.

". Exactly. That's the terrible thing about wear and tear."

Zhongli nodded.

"——If even the existence of wear and tear has been forgotten, then that individual will undoubtedly lose the last possibility of resisting it."

"."

After a brief pause, Zhongli looked at Lin Feng beside him and said:
"The extent of Ruo Tuo's wear and tear is far beyond my imagination. This time, thanks to the presence of my friend,

Otherwise, the scenes in the dream might come true."

——Under no scruples, if Zhongli cannot hold Ruota firmly,

So for this ancient rock dragon, it would be easy to destroy the entire Liyue in a very short time.

". But judging from Ruota's mental state, it has almost reached its limit.

Most of his anger has already been released, and he can immediately transfer his memories back."

"——But the final obsession may need to be resolved by you and him in reality."

Although I really want to solve the problem directly in my dream,
But Ruo Tuo's obsession with Zhongli was too deep.

If Lin Feng chose to focus all his attention on recovering his memory later,

And use his own power to coat Ruo Tuo with a layer of "protective film" to prevent secondary wear and tear.
Then someone must dispel this last bit of obsession while he is operating.

"hehe."

"——It's okay. I'm already very satisfied that you have made it this far."

"——The last bit of resentment that my old friend has towards me should naturally be resolved by me personally."

As if he had been prepared for this, Zhongli responded to Lin Feng beside him in the same relaxed tone as usual.

But it seemed that the doubts that had been accumulating in my heart for a long time finally disappeared.

In Lin Feng's opinion, at this moment, the old man had lost much of his decadence and even showed some rare youthful energy.

Without much delay,

Zhongli left the team directly under the complicated gazes of several immortals.
A man slowly fell to the ground, in front of the head of King Ruta.

next moment,
Under Lin Feng's somewhat emotional gaze,
The god's robe with a white background and golden patterns finally appeared again on the young man in front of him after hundreds of years.
After a rock spear emerged from the void and was held tightly in Zhongli's hand,
He also used a voice mixed with some nostalgia and relief,
Towards the companion who was originally sentenced to "death", he gently spoke:
"——It has been so long, so long that our era and disputes have ended."

"——So, it's time to wake up from the dream, old friend."
