Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 32 Northern War

As the great calamity draws near, the conflict across the entire northern continent gradually escalates.

The three races, as the main force in clearing out the ferocious beasts, also suffered extremely heavy losses.

The Qilin clan launched an attack on the northern continent from the land, constantly clearing out ferocious beasts along the way.

Led by the five eldest sons of the Ancestral Qilin, the troops were divided into five routes based on the five elements.

The team leaders are all at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortals.

The dragons launched their offensive from the sea, following the waterways of the northern continent to hunt down the ferocious beasts.

The team was led by dragons, including the Azure Dragon and the Yinglong, who were among the strongest warriors besides the Ancestral Dragon.

Both of them are Heavenly Venerables, especially the Azure Dragon, who is the best among them.

Accompanying him were four of the First Emperor's sons: Yazi, Chaofeng, Suanni, and Bian.

Among them, Ya Zi had the highest cultivation level, being a Great Luo Golden Immortal, while the other three were all Taiyi.

They split into two groups at the river's mouth and entered the northern continent.

The Phoenix Clan, on the other hand, distinguished themselves by five colors, with the five most powerful tribal leaders leading the way as they flew directly to the northern continent.

Five teams—Phoenix, Yuanchu, Yuzhuo, Qingluan, and Honghu—cooperated with the Dragon Clan and the Qilin Clan in the sky.

Their main responsibilities are intelligence gathering and dealing with flying ferocious beasts.

The three races cooperated seamlessly, constantly encroaching on the living space of the ferocious beasts in the northern continent.

This also came with enormous sacrifices.

Led by the four ferocious beasts, and relying on their own strength and the ferocious tides they lead, it is basically difficult for any race to escape once they are surrounded.

Moreover, the ferocious beasts possess all sorts of strange and unusual abilities, which often cause damage to the teams of the three races.

The dragon race suffered the greatest losses, as they had to contend with the two celestial deities, Qiongqi and Taotie, and the beast tide they led.

Yinglong's face was very pale.

"If Brother Zhulong hadn't disappeared, how could we have suffered such heavy losses from these beasts!"

Hearing Yinglong's angry words, Qinglong comforted him:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhulong will return. He is the strongest in our dragon clan besides the clan leader."

"However, if Brother Zhulong were here, we wouldn't have lost so many of our men."

Thinking of this, Qinglong's heart was bleeding. Those fighting on the battlefield now were all his clansmen whom he had watched grow up.

"What is the chieftain thinking? Why does he insist that we take these children to the battlefield and fight to the death with these inhuman beasts?"

Our home is in the sea, on the eastern continent!

Yinglong expressed his questions to Qinglong, as he had only recently become the Luotian Venerable God.

He was the fourth innate deity born from the dragon race. At the time of his birth, the dragon race was already very powerful.

The current situation has also formed where the dragon race is led by the Ancestral Dragon, the Candle Dragon, and the Azure Dragon.

He was unaware of Zu Long's plans, and Zu Long had never told him many things before.

Even if they need to discuss it, they will only summon Zhulong and Qinglong, and the three of them will decide.

He could clearly sense that the three of them valued him highly, but it seemed like they were hiding something from him.

When Qinglong heard Yinglong's question, he didn't answer it. He simply waved his hand, telling him not to ask.

After Yinglong left, Qinglong recalled what Zulong had told him.

"In this era of great contention, there is no retreat but advancement. We must strive and are confident of victory, but we must always leave some contingency plans."

"The birth of Yinglong has further confirmed my idea that he can become the hope for the dragon race's resurgence after its defeat."

"If the dragon clan succeeds in its goal, then he will be the best successor."

"If the Dragon Clan is defeated, the three of us will bear the consequences. With our status, as long as we don't completely destroy the prehistoric world, we can withstand it."

"Losing one Yinglong is of no consequence to the Great Cause."

"But if he also gets involved, the defeated dragons will truly have no hope without him."

"I have already discussed this matter with Zhulong, and now I would like to hear your opinion."

Qinglong was persuaded by Zulong and agreed to Yinglong's arrangements, but also raised questions.

"But how can we stop him from getting involved?"

"Yinglong is not the kind of person who would stand idly by and watch his own people be killed."

Zulong laughed and said:

"With the strength of us innate deities, we are certain to win this great calamity posed by ferocious beasts."

"Take him to share in some of the merit. After the great calamity ends, you and I will seal him together, and then unseal him once we have succeeded."

"Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't get any of the dragon clan's good fortune after this calamity? And his cultivation would be delayed too?"

The Azure Dragon was puzzled.

"We must not let him share in the good fortune after the calamity; only in this way can he avoid the karmic consequences."

"If he enjoys the good fortune after the disaster, then when he fails, he will surely be among those who are punished."

"In all things under heaven, is there anything that enjoys benefits without bearing responsibilities?"

At this point, the Azure Dragon understood the Ancestral Dragon's actions and began to cooperate.

Yinglong thus became the only dragon ancestor in the dragon clan without real power.

The only thing they hadn't anticipated was that the Candle Dragon Society would suddenly disappear without a trace after calculating the calendar.

Without dwelling on these thoughts, Qinglong composed himself, stepped out of the tent, and transformed into a giant dragon, soaring into the sky.

Yinglong, wielding the Dragon Scale Axe, once again searched for the beast tide.

Yinglong had no other thoughts; he simply believed that the more ferocious beasts he killed, the fewer losses the dragon children would suffer.

The Dragon Scale Axe is not an innate spiritual treasure, but a weapon crafted later.

In such a large-scale war, the Dragon Scale Axe is more suitable than his innate spiritual treasure, the Mysterious Heaven Sword.

The Dragon Scale Axe has very little mental strain, allowing him to focus on his surroundings even in the chaos of battle.

On the dragon battlefield commanded by Qinglong, the seawater overflowed, and the once towering mountains were submerged.

The sea monsters in the waves were densely packed. With the rise and fall of the waves, they used water-controlling magic to continuously drive the tsunami to crash against the mountains.

Some ferocious beasts, tens of thousands of feet tall, were unable to stand up under the sweeping force of the sea, and were tossed about by the current like toys.

All resistance was swept away and shattered by the waves.

The few ferocious beasts that managed to survive the first wave of the tsunami were swept away when the seawater receded.

What awaited it were the dragon warriors who had been recuperating and preparing in the sea.

The tsunami crashed against the mountains, splashing out beautiful sprays, but each of these sprays would become a death warrant for ferocious beasts.

In areas near the sea, the dragon race is now invincible.

On the other side of the northern continent, the Qilin clan is also manipulating the earth to continuously devour ferocious beasts.

On the battlefield of the Qilin Clan, the earth turned into a swamp, and terrifying gravity covered the entire battlefield, even squeezing and distorting space.

Furthermore, the gravity is different in each area, and a ferocious beast entering it may be seriously injured after only taking a few steps.

The same applies to the Phoenix Clan battlefield, where the innate Five Elements Formation, composed of five types of phoenixes, possesses astonishing power.

Furthermore, they cooperated seamlessly, coming together and dispersing at will.

Whenever it appears, it will inevitably cause great damage to the ferocious beast's offensive.

Chaos and his group only step in to take charge when the situation with the ferocious beasts becomes irreversible.

Then came the battle between Ronaldo and the others!

There is a battle between the Heavenly Venerable God and the Four Ferocious Beasts.

Some also set up battle formations to counter them.

The situation is tense.

I worked on some layout changes last night until 4:00 AM, and then went to work at 7:30 AM. I didn't even get a lunch break, and I'm feeling incredibly tired.

Everyone can join the group to chat and urge for updates. I'd also like to see what time everyone usually reads the book so I can schedule updates accordingly.
