Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 40 Seek kindness and get kindness

On the other side, the battlefield of Yuqiang.

A fierce wind howled, sand and dust swirled, and the sky was unusually dark.

The Xuan Yin Arrow flashed past, shooting out from the body of the dead lion-headed beast, and wounding three beasts at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm in succession.

Yu Qiang knew that the goal at this time was not to quickly resolve one of them, but to weaken them as much as possible.

He couldn't possibly fight against such a large number of Taiyi ferocious beasts on his own, after all, he was only a Taiyi High God at this time.

A vast expanse of white mist flowed from the Heaven-Covering Qi Gourd, enveloping the entire battlefield. The wind could not disperse it, and the sand and dust were completely obscured.

Within this white mist, the ferocious beast could neither see nor hear, and its sense of smell was also rendered useless; it could only haphazardly unleash its supernatural powers.

These supernatural powers manifest in various ways, but they mostly strike one's own side, and may even affect ferocious beasts in the outside world.

The white mist, like thin snakes, burrowed into the mouths and nostrils of the ferocious beasts, constantly obscuring their senses. Yu Qiang's feet moved like two snakes, silently approaching.

He moved cautiously among the various supernatural abilities. Although he had obscured their senses, he still worried that their randomly launched abilities might happen to target him.

The Xuan Yin Arrow struck again, taking away the remaining two heavily injured Taiyi Upper God Realm ferocious beasts, and Yu Qiang's divine power vanished like flowing water.

The Xuan Yin Arrow is very effective against enemies, but this is based on the consumption of powerful divine energy. Refining the Xuan Yin Arrow can make it even more effective, but the cost of this is an increase in the consumption of divine energy.

Killing three Taiyi Supreme God Beasts in one go was a heavy burden for him, and the remaining four Taiyi Beasts had gone berserk.

Their instincts told them of the danger of the place, and they wanted to escape.

One of the ferocious beasts spewed out black flames, spraying them continuously in all directions. The white mist began to dissolve as soon as it was sprayed by the black flames.

This black flame is the same as the black flame rising from the ground; both are accompanied by highly toxic black smoke.

Seeing this, Yu Qiang could only dodge. The flesh and blood of the three ferocious beasts that had been injured by the Xuan Yin Arrow had begun to mutate, and blood was flowing incessantly.

One of the ferocious beasts had begun to drool blood, which made them even more terrified and frantic.

The ferocious beast that spews black flames resembles a horse but has four heads; it is currently the only uninjured beast.

With a hiss, all the Taiyi ferocious beasts began to converge on it, while simultaneously spewing out more black flames that spread for thousands of miles, enveloping the entire battlefield.

Upon hearing this voice, the expression of a primordial deity turned strange, and he frantically intensified his attack.

The others also tried their best to stop them.

Although the innate deities intensified their attack, they eventually managed to bring them together.

Their blood and qi converged, forming a huge protective shield that protected all the ferocious beasts.

Things are getting complicated.

The speaking deity has ram horns on its head, is half-human and half-horse, flies through the clouds on all fours, and holds a long spear in its hand.

"There's no other way, but we have to give it a try."

Another innate deity responded.

His face was sallow, and a Dharma image appeared behind him. The Dharma image continued to grow, becoming larger and larger, until it was millions of feet in size.

His complexion appeared even more yellow at that moment.

Without him making any move, Faxiang's palm pierced through the clouds and struck down at the beast horde.

Its palm was much larger than that of the ferocious beast, and as the palm fell, wisps of energy spread out.

Transforming into streaks of energy swords, they pierced through the protective barrier and the ferocious beast before disappearing into the ground.

As more and more sword strikes landed, his aura grew weaker and weaker.

The crowd and Yu Qiang seemed not to see it, letting his aura weaken little by little until it disappeared.

As his aura vanished, his Dharma form also dissipated into the world.

Blood rained down from the sky, and mournful chants echoed all around.

The divine being has fallen, and heaven and earth grieve together.

The beasts' shields had been broken, and eight of them died on the spot, while the rest were seriously injured.

"He's gone, but thankfully he's gotten his revenge."

"The centaur is a divine being," said the innate deity.

"Yes, his heart died ever since he returned from the dojo."

"My bloodline has been severed, my Daoist partner has died, and my Daoist temple has been destroyed. I have done my best to hold on until now."

Another primordial deity replied:

"However, judging from what he said, it seems that he has already passed on the tradition."

"It's a stroke of luck amidst misfortune, I suppose."

No one answered; they simply killed the remaining heavily wounded beasts and then silently returned.

They didn't know if they could have persevered for as long as he had if they saw the dire state of their own dojo.

Under the backlash of the heavens and earth's fortune, his path to enlightenment was severed, and he became unrecognizable. Everything he once possessed vanished. He still had a chance for revenge, but what about himself?

The six returned to Yinglong's camp.

Yinglong noticed that one of them was missing and the atmosphere was somber. He didn't ask why or whether they had succeeded.

The fact that they came back alive already signifies a success.

"Thank you all for your hard work. This battle has been arduous. You may rest and recuperate in my camp."

Yinglong's voice was calm, without joy or sorrow.

Yu Qiang simply refused:

"We are still doing alright, so there's no need for the great god Yinglong to trouble himself. Let's leave the camp to those who need it more."

He then excused himself and led the remaining five people back to where they had rested.

Seeing that Ya Zi was somewhat dissatisfied with their attitude, Ying Long reminded him.

"We are missing a fellow Daoist, the one we returned the Daoist temple to before. You were elsewhere and didn't see him."

Upon hearing this, Ya Zi's expression froze.

He then asked in doubt:

"Given their strength, they shouldn't have suffered any casualties, so why is this happening?"

Instead of explaining it to him directly, Yinglong asked him a question:

"If one day, the dragon race is destroyed, and the four seas become fishing grounds for others, and you are the only one who survives by sheer luck, what would you do?"

Ya Zi said without thinking:

"To preserve our bloodline and lineage, and then seek revenge, but with the strength of my dragon clan, such a day is impossible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ya Zi realized what was going on.

"This place is where ferocious beasts gather, and it's not far from his training ground."

Yinglong smiled and explained.

After hearing this, Ya Zi silently returned to his tent. Yes, what should he do after this great revenge is achieved?

After Ya Zi left, Ying Long remained silent for a while before sighing:

"Fellow Daoist, how fortunate Heaven and Earth are to you! You have now achieved what you sought. May you have a safe journey."

"I just wonder if I will ever have such a day when I get what I want? I'm afraid I won't be so lucky."

Yu Qiang and others are also thinking about this issue.

However, if given such an opportunity, they would probably be willing to risk their lives for it.

They can't even imagine what they'll look like when they see their own dojo.

P.S.: Today's update, and a daily request for votes. We're about to enter the second round, and I'd like to try and see if I can climb up the new book chart. I hope everyone will support me.
