Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Their long life in the deep sea has made them dislike such a bright environment, but even enduring this painful torment, they still gather under the Great Sun Palace.

Clearly, there exists something more threatening than the light that makes them uncomfortable in places where the light doesn't reach. So, after weighing their options, the dragon lizards chose to gather under the Great Sun Palace. And what could possibly make the dragon lizards so uneasy now?

“I see what looks like a witch over there? I can sense some dragon lizard aura on her; perhaps we can get some information from her.”

If it's just a dragon lizard, it's not worth Su Feng and Wendy's attention.

After all, although these dragon lizards have always lived in the Abyss Palace, it is unrealistic to expect them to tell them what exactly happened in the Abyss Palace.

Perhaps the elemental dragon kings can get what they want to know from the dragon lizard, but neither Su Feng nor Wendy have the methods of the elemental dragon kings, even though Su Feng has now created a dragon body.

After all, his dragon body was similar to Zhongli's; at most, he had the shell of a dragon, but in essence, he was vastly different from the true elemental dragons.

But if a human-looking witch were to mingle among the dragon lizards, it would be a different story. Who knows what kind of backup plan Orobas might have left behind?

"Let's go ask them then, but before that..."

After Wendy reminded him, Su Feng also saw the witch who was mixed in with the dragon lizards and seemed to be treating an injured dragon lizard. Su Feng agreed to Wendy's suggestion. However, before that, Su Feng needed to prepare some negotiation skills.

The next moment, Su Feng directly manifested his enormous dragon body. His long and magnificent dragon body suddenly appeared around the Great Sun Imperial Carriage under the gaze of all the dragon lizards, and the surging power and might that followed perfectly enveloped the entire Great Sun Imperial Carriage and the dragon lizards gathered around it.

"Roar!"

When the immense power pressed down on all the dragon lizards without any restraint, even the most powerful elite among the deep-sea dragon lizards let out painful howls and crawled to the ground. The injured and weak dragon lizards were even more paralyzed under this pressure, losing all power to resist.

Dragons are actually a rather brutal race when it comes to communication. Powerful strength and noble bloodlines symbolize everything in a dragon herd, and the elemental dragon kings have always relied on absolute power and authority to rule their herds.

Su Feng may not have the noble bloodline to subdue these deep-sea dragon lizards, but he has enough power to suppress any possibility or thought of resistance.

Moreover, he doesn't need to command these deep-sea dragon lizards; he only needs to obtain the information he wants from them.

After displaying his power without any concealment, Su Feng slowly descended to the ground. Then, he arrogantly raised his dragon head and looked down contemptuously at the many dragon lizards below that had given up all resistance.

"Witch, tell me what happened here."

Su Feng's arrogant voice echoed throughout the entire area where the Great Sun Imperial Court was located, and the priestess Agi, whose oppressive power had been removed under his control, was able to barely get up from the ground again.

However, even though she was in a very disheveled state when faced with Su Feng's rude but undeniable questioning, she did not have any intention of resisting.

“An unknown dragon, a powerful being, we...we have come here as refugees.”

When facing Su Feng, the priestess Aqi's voice trembled, but even so, she still forced herself to answer Su Feng's questions—this suddenly powerful true dragon was simply too powerful. The mere aura and power of it suppressed the entire deep-sea dragon lizard clan to the point that Aqi could not even muster any resistance.

"A cold and insane darkness and a repulsive fog rose from the depths, and even the most powerful dragon lizard could not endure it for long in that terrible darkness and fog."

"Forced by the pitch-black fog, we had to crawl out of the black seawater into a light that was unsettling, but which also protected us from that terrible corruption."

Aqi managed to finish explaining the current situation, and after listening to Aqi's explanation, a thoughtful look appeared in Su Feng's eyes.

Do you know where the darkness and fog come from?

Although he had roughly figured out what had happened, it didn't stop Su Feng from continuing to ask Aqi about what had happened here before.

"It was a monster wielding repulsive flames that opened the door to darkness."

Aqi's heart trembled upon hearing Su Feng's question. Su Feng's continued questioning made her hesitate, yet she had absolutely no chance of resisting him.

"That dark monster bewitched us, saying he could shut down the Great Sun Imperial Carriage. Under his influence, we helped him occupy and modify three border towers. Then, while we were all concerned about the Great Sun Imperial Carriage, that hypocrite suddenly turned the three border towers into eerie beacons, and then the dark power began to spread rapidly."

"That is why we have to gather here at the Great Sun Palace, because the power of the Great Sun Palace can suppress those terrifying darknesses."

Despite her hesitation, Aqi honestly confessed everything, and then she knelt down again. In any case, the reason why the monsters of the abyss were able to control the three border towers of the Abyss Palace was due to the help of the dragon lizards. If Su Feng wanted to settle accounts with the dragon lizards now, he didn't need to find any additional reasons.

Moreover, in the world of dragon lizards, strength is the only truth.

However, Su Feng, who had finally figured out the beginning of the matter, had no mind to settle scores with the dragon lizards, because the corruption of the abyss was a more important matter.

Chapter Twenty-Two opens with a direct smashing of a celestial star.

The three border towers have now become beacons for the Abyss's erosion of the Lower Palace.

No, now the abyss is not only eroding the Abyss Palace, but is even trying to pull this isolated dimension between the three realms into the endless abyss.

It's no fun at all to gradually erode space and life; it would be much more satisfying to devour the entire Yuanxia Palace in one go!

Although it is still unclear who the monster wielding the repulsive flames that Agi mentioned is, since the other party still needs to deceive and manipulate the dragon lizards, its strength cannot be too great. The only thing to worry about is whether there are any more beings from the Abyss side who have secretly infiltrated the Abyss Palace.

After all, the power of the abyss has begun to erode the Fukushita Palace on a large scale, and it has been able to gradually take the initiative from the suppression of the Great Sun Palace... This opponent is probably not simple.

Having already realized this, how could Su Feng be in the mood to care about the trivial matter of the deep-sea dragon lizard?

"You check on the Great Sun Imperial Carriage here first, I'll go see how things are going in the other places."

Su Feng made a quick decision without much thought. The situation at Yuanxia Palace was unclear, and they had to find a solution as soon as possible. Since they hadn't been able to get much useful information from the Deep Sea Dragon Lizard, it was inevitable that he would have to go and explore it himself.

“I understand, but you should be careful too. After all, matters involving the Abyss are no small matter. And you can rest assured about the Great Sun Imperial Court. After all, such powerful light boundary force is not just something to be displayed here.”

"If you really can't take it anymore, call me and I'll come right away."

Wendy knew exactly what Su Feng was thinking, so he nodded in agreement without hesitation. Although the power of the Abyss was gradually gaining the upper hand, they could maintain their defensive position for quite some time, even if they only relied on the terrifyingly dense light energy within the Great Sun Chariot.

In reality, the Great Sun Imperial Court doesn't need his protection at all; in comparison, Su Feng's side is in greater danger.

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

Su Feng was well aware of this, so after saying that, he hurriedly flew back into the sky to observe for a while before heading towards a tower that exuded a strong abyssal aura.

......

The Yuanxia Palace is no longer as powerful as it once was in the White Night Kingdom. It has been reduced to ruins by the power of time, barely able to show its former history to the surrounding area.

Unfortunately, these relics, which can be considered cultural relics, are now filled with all sorts of abyssal monsters.

Whether it's the various relics and weapons that once belonged to Kanria, the beast hounds that are everywhere, or the numerous Hilichurls, the former ruins have been filled to the brim by these creatures, and the once quiet Abyss Palace has gradually been replaced by a kind of 'noise' that no one likes.

"The abyssal aura here is actually this dense?"

Su Feng, suspended high in the air, was moved as he looked down at the many lively monsters below. Although there were many of these monsters, they were not enough to move Su Feng. What truly shocked Su Feng was the surrounding environment.

Previously, the Light Boundary Force was still entangled with the Abyss Force in other places, but now, after only moving slightly away from the Great Sun Imperial Court, the Abyss Force has gradually suppressed the Light Boundary Force, and this suppression has even reached the point where the monsters of the Abyss can move around.

This also means that the power that Abyss has invested in Abyss Palace this time has exceeded his expectations, which is definitely not good news for Su Feng.

So after learning a little about the situation, Su Feng quickly focused his attention on the tower below that was continuously releasing powerful abyssal power.

Very powerful, very strange!

Upon seeing the tower below, completely covered and transformed by dark purple patterns, Su Feng inexplicably felt a sense of fear—a feeling similar to... when Aqi encountered him before?

not good!

In that instant, Su Feng realized this and his huge dragon eye trembled violently. Then, without any hesitation, he directly spewed out a large amount of golden jade power, and at the same time, the power of reason and law quickly started to operate.

The next moment, the dazzling golden light illuminated the entire Yuanxia Palace. Even the Great Sun Imperial Carriage appeared much dimmer in front of the several celestial stars that tore through the sky and sprinkled golden light all over everything.

The dazzling celestial star, carrying an unstoppable force, tore through the sky and plummeted towards the seemingly insignificant island and tower. The powerful wind pressure generated by the celestial star even crushed the bones of many abyssal monsters on the tower in an instant, causing countless monsters to let out painful howls.

However, they soon stopped wailing—the falling stars burst forth with dazzling golden power in an instant, and these seemingly terrifying monsters were instantly turned into useless rocks under the shroud of the golden power.

Unfortunately, Su Feng had no time to care about the extent of his power, because this matter was not so easily resolved!

"*&***&@#"

As the star tore through the sky, announcing its arrival to all with golden light, a murmur filled with incomprehensible filth emanated from the tower. Accompanying this incomprehensible murmur was a terrifying abyssal force surging like a tidal wave!

Without any fancy maneuvers or sophisticated techniques, the entity behind the tower resolved the threat posed by Su Feng in the simplest way possible.

The sheer amount of abyssal power completely enveloped the most important tower. Even when faced with the most active and powerful golden jade power, this abyssal power simply chose to allow itself to be eroded by the golden jade power.

However, the amount of Abyssal Force was simply too vast. Even though Su Feng had smashed down several celestial stars, and these celestial stars contained an immense amount of golden and jade power, no matter how massive the celestial stars were, they only stirred up waves when they hit the ocean of the abyss.

Completely defeating the abyssal power that is as deep as the ocean in this way... is not impossible, but it is by no means something that can be done with just a few celestial stars!

Su Feng realized almost instantly that it was impossible to simply eliminate these Abyss Invasion Beacons. However, before he could think any further, an even greater Abyss Force surged down from the tower like a tide.

What made Su Feng's eyes widen even more was that he actually felt a will filled with chaos and hatred within this surging abyssal power. The murmurs and resentment that had just flowed out rushed into Su Feng's mind.

"&*#%...Go to hell!"

Soon, the chaotic and frenzied will left only one voice in Su Feng's mind. Faced with this crazy will, even Su Feng, who had the power of awareness to ensure his own safety, felt extremely uncomfortable. The surging abyssal power forced him to retreat temporarily.

But after taking only a few steps back, Su Feng waved his hand again, and with his movement, celestial stars began to fall one after another. As the celestial stars fell, the incomparably powerful golden jade power began to entangle with the abyssal power once again.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Black Sun

This time, Su Feng did not use the power of reason to replicate celestial stars in large quantities. Instead, he used his immense golden jade power to create one celestial star after another, much larger than before, which continuously crashed onto the lonely island. The dazzling golden jade power pierced the darkness in an instant, illuminating everything.

The golden jade power released by Su Feng revealed its terrifying characteristics the moment it broke free from its restraints. Everything around it that came into contact with it was quickly eroded and slowed down by the golden jade power, and the stone skin mixed with golden light quickly spread on the wave-like abyssal power.

If this continues, Su Feng might even be able to completely petrify everything in this border tower by relying on the continuous supply of celestial stars.

However, this is clearly a delusion.

While the power of gold and jade is formidable, the calamities from the abyss are no joke.

Over the long course of time, even the divine power of the Rock King Emperor would change and turn into pitch-black meteorite iron under the erosion of calamities. Although Su Feng's golden jade power was inherited from Zhong Li, it was not able to achieve the level of innovation.

Moreover, this calamity is not one of the ordinary calamities.

Since arriving in Teyvat, Su Feng, who has been constantly battling the Abyss, clearly sensed that the Abyss power surging this time contained a strange will that he had never encountered before.

According to Su Feng's estimation, this will alone is enough to affect the self-awareness of a god in a short period of time, and it would be even more terrifying if combined with the equally terrifying corrosive power of the abyss.

It might even be enough to corrupt even the gods in a short time!

What Su Feng is more worried about now is to whom this will belongs. He hadn't felt such madness and strangeness when facing the Nibelungen consciousness before. If the possessor of this mad will also enter the Abyss Palace...

To be honest, Su Feng wasn't entirely confident that he could defeat his opponent.

Moreover, the opponent didn't keep Su Feng waiting for long. Soon, the abyssal power, which was caught off guard by the excessive golden jade power, began to writhe again as always. Driven by an even more frenzied will, the abyssal power continuously seeped out from the tower and began to entangle with the golden jade power.

The power of gold and jade was constantly solidifying and slowing down the power of the abyss, while the power of the abyss was constantly eroding the power of gold and jade. The two sides, entangled together, began to fight each other frantically, and large swathes of rocks turned into powder under the entanglement and erosion of the two forces.

The two sides are now locked in a stalemate. Su Feng's continuous slamming of the Heavenly Stars, with their powerful impact and abundant golden and jade energy, aims to completely engulf the tower. However, the inexhaustible abyssal power keeps the tower firmly protected.

The abyssal power, mixed with a frenzied will, continuously annihilated the golden jade power, preventing Su Feng from overwhelming everything with sheer numbers.

This is not the way to go!

After seeing this scene, Su Feng knew that if things continued like this, he would definitely not be able to deal with this tower. More importantly, there were three such towers in the entire Yuanxia Palace. If he was delayed here, then no one else would be able to handle the other places!

Thinking of this, Su Fenglong's eyes narrowed slightly. However, he continued to condense and release the Heavenly Star to delay the abyss power below, but at the same time, he also began to gather more Golden Jade Power again.

Soon, as Su Feng activated his power, sharp winds and profound lightning began to swirl around him. When the power reached its limit, Su Feng suddenly created nearly ten enormous celestial stars and smashed them down.
