The expression of the village head turned incredibly pale, as he kneeled on the floor hurriedly and kowtowed.
Supported by Annie, Yue Zhong walked out from the wooden hut and immediately saw a number of children aged 5 to 10 being rounded up and thrown into a cage, crying and wailing. The villagers who lost their kids were also crying uncontrollably, kneeling on the floor, not daring to move.
Even the 3 youths who had barged into Yue Zhong’s hut earlier were on the ground, their bodies trembling and their faces ashen.
Seeing this, Yue Zhong frowned, and a hint of killing intent erupted. Those kids were obviously intended to be used for demonic practices. Otherwise, there would be no need to cage them.
Ives saw Annie, and his eyes immediately lit up with lust and greed, ordering loudly,
What a beautiful chick!! To think that there would such a high-quality good here! Men, go catch her for me!!
Hearing his orders, 6 soldiers quickly charged towards Annie.
Annie hoisted Yue Zhong with one hand, pulling out a bat with the other, and sent 6 shadows slamming into the bodies of the 6 soldiers.
In that instant, the 6 Type 3 soldiers were sent flying back, as they doubled over on the floor and trembling with incredible agony.
Under Yue Zhong’s instructions, she had already shown mercy, otherwise, with her Type 8 strength, just blowing at them would cause them to disintegrate.
Ives saw how strong she was, and was not upset, instead, looking extremely excited, as he asked,
Great!! What an incredible specimen! I like her!! Baru, who is she?!
Village Head Baru trembled as he replied,
Sir Ives, she’s called Annie, and she is a wandering hunter that had just joined us not long ago.
Ives had an evil look in his eyes as he laughed savagely, threatening,
Annie, kneel down and submit to me. I can make the decision and spare this village from the blood sacrifice. Otherwise, I will kill all these kids, and raze the entire village to the ground. If you don’t want to be the cause of their slaughter, surrender now! Become my woman. You only have 30 seconds to consider. By the end, if you cannot answer, I will kill everyone here.
When he waved his hands, his personal guards had already raised their weapons at the children within the cage.
Ives then swept the villagers a gaze, and laughed cruelly,
You people, if you want to leave, go beg her to save you.
Annie, please, surrender! My son is in their hands!! Please!! Surrender to Ives, he will provide for you!
Annie, please, on account that we had sheltered you these few days, please save us.
…
The villagers began to kneel, crawling towards Annie as they begged pitifully.
Even the village head Baru came up to Annie, kowtowing profusely, as blood appeared,
Miss Annie, I’m begging you!!! On behalf of our village, please, please save us!! Please!!
Ives was extremely cunning and knew how to pit others against one another. If Annie did not submit, he would really commit genocide. That was why Baru and the rest could only plead and beg for Annie to sacrifice herself.
Yue Zhong frowned when he saw the sight, and he spoke indifferently,
Kill all of them, leave only 6. Separate that Marquis and the black-robed guy beside him.
Got it!
Annie replied and with a wave of her hands, a number of transparent silk shot out, instantly slaughtering all of Ives’ men.
In an instant, most of the soldiers were sliced up into fine pieces, fresh blood splattering everywhere. It was a gruesome sight.
Before Ives could even express his shock, he, the black-robed man beside him, as well as 4 others were all tied up by the silk and dragged before Yue Zhong.
What?! Dead!?!’
What did she do?!
She actually slaughtered all the soldiers and even captured Ives!!
That was too terrifying!!
…
Seeing how Annie actually slaughtered the soldiers under Ives, the villagers were all full of shock.
Ives was a noble of the Jiao Beast City and had a huge background. If he were to be injured slightly, the entire village would be wiped out by the forces sent by the city.
Compared to Jiao Beast City, this village was nothing much. In these years, many other villages had been wiped out due to the slightest offense of any noble within the city.
The moment they realized the guards of a member of nobility had died in their village, Baru and the rest felt an intense sense of fear and helplessness.
At that instant, the black robes fluttered, revealing a strange monster with the head of a Wyrm, his body covered entirely in grey scales, while wearing a casual outfit over his human-like body.
This Wyrm-head spoke in a growl,
Release me, you damn human scum. Do you know who I am? I’m a member of the Grey Wyrms, and if you lowly humans dare touch a single hair of mine, the entire Grey Wyrm Clan would not let you off!! You guys have offended me, I will definitely tear you limb from limb and cook you alive!
Ives was also struggling, as he roared out,
This is Sir Sanford, one of the nobles of the Grey Wyrm Clan among the Holy Race! If you guys dare hurt him, the entire village would suffer the wrath of the Holy Race! Your plight would be worse than death!! Release us this instant, and offer your sacrifices!! There is still a chance to appease Sir Sanford!
What?! Holy Race!?!
He is actually from the Holy Race?
Shit, it’s over, we actually offended a noble from the Holy Race!
…
The moment they heard the term Holy Race, every one’s countenance changed, and they were filled with despair.
Baru began kowtowing once more, pleading profusely,
Annie, please, release Sir Sanford, he’s from the Holy Race. If we were to hurt him, even after we die, we will not be let off lightly. The Holy Race would not let us off, and they would round us all up and eat us alive.
Release him!
Annie, release him!
…
The villagers clamored to persuade her. They were extremely afraid of the Holy Race, as it would mean the demise of their entire village.
Facing the begging of the villages, Annie did not do anything, instead, she turned to Yue Zhong and asked,
What do we do? Kill them?
Her personality was like that, cool and unfeeling. Other than those she cared about, she would not frown even if more died in front of her.
In fact, most of the Holy Sons and Daughters of the Holy Heavens were like that. Only such characters could trudge through the countless challenges and rise to become an overlord.
If she had to change her mind because of unrelated people, or threats, Annie would have died umpteen times over.
Hearing those cold words, the entire village felt a chill, their eyes turning towards Yue Zhong. This seemingly crippled man was the one who decided their fate.
Baru pleaded,
Yue Zhong, please, release the 2 sirs. I’m begging you!!
Sanford continued to struggle wildly, as he threatened viciously,
Release me, and give me 10 children to feed on! I will spare you guys this once. Otherwise, if you lowly humans dare to hurt me, I will get the Holy Army to round you all up and cook you guys to eat!
Cries and screams began to ring out, and the entire field turned extremely chaotic. The moment they heard that Sanford wanted to eat 10 children, many of the villagers trembled, crying out, not knowing what to do.
Yue Zhong frowned and ordered,
Knock them out!
Annie shot out a finger, and she manipulated the atmospheric energy to strike the heads of Ives and his men, knocking them out.
With a wave of Yue Zhong’s hands, a number of Puppet Runes entered the brains of Ives and his men.
Yue Zhong then ordered,
Release their bindings!
Annie waved her hands, and the silk strands tying up the bunch disappeared without a trace.
Sanford woke up immediately, crawling in front of Yue Zhong and spoke,
Your lowly servant Sanford greets Master. I had offended Master previously, and I seek Master’s mercy and grace!
Ives also woke up just then, crawling in front of Yue Zhong as though he was a loyal dog,
Your shameful servant Ives greets Master. I deserve death for my earlier offenses, and seek Master’s instructions on how this servant can atone.
Chapter 972: Jiao Beast City!
When the villagers saw this scene, they were all shocked beyond words. They had never expected the arrogant Ives who had just been throwing his weight around and threatening them together with Sanford, to actually crawl in front of Yue Zhong, seeking forgiveness. It was simply unbelievable.
How the hell? Who in the world is he?! He could actually get 2 nobles to plead for forgiveness!!
The strongest youth of the village, Ada, saw the 2 kneeling man, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. He was just a small fry in front of Ives and Sanford, and could only kneel on the ground, without even the courage to look at them. However, the 2 of them were actually kneeling in front of Yue Zhong who he had looked upon with disdain. The gap was simply too huge. The peace and bliss that he had promised Annie was like a joke.
The youth looked at Yue Zhong, his fist clenched while his expression pale, thinking with some unwillingness,
Sister Annie’s eye for men is truly exceptional. I can’t compare to Yue Zhong.
Lan Lan saw the scene from the room as well, and her heart was also filled with shock,
Those are 2 nobles! They’re actually kneeling in front of him to be his slave. He has some capabilities, no wonder Sister Annie is so enamored with him. I can’t discern as well as Sister Annie. This Yue Zhong is truly some character!
Inside this village, all those who had thought Yue Zhong was simply a toad trying to eat swan meat, or the pile of dung beneath the rose, were forced to rethink. Now, they suddenly felt it appropriate for Annie to like Yue Zhong.
The numerous young ladies were also eyeing Yue Zhong with strange gazes.
In this world, these humans within the village lived no different from animals. If the nobles wanted to kill them, there was nothing they could do.
As long as Ives opened his mouth, none of the women could reject him. Yet, this Yue Zhong was seemingly even more powerful than Ives, the hearts of the numerous women were obviously stirred. If it was not for Annie still standing beside Yue Zhong, many of them would have run over to profess their love.
Ives then asked Yue Zhong respectfully,
Master, would you like to go to the Jiao Beasy City? This slave has some businesses and properties there. The environment is a whole lot better than here.
Yue Zhong asked,
Did you bring money?
Ives pulled out a bag of gold and handed it over,
This slave has a 100 gold coins!
Yue Zhong chuckled, tossing the bag to Lan Lan,
This is for you. Thanks for taking care of us these few days.
After a few days of cultivation, although Yue Zhong was not yet at his peak, he could already control some parts of his body.
The villagers stared at the bag with jealousy. They knew that with this gold, Lan Lan’s family would become the wealthiest in the village.
When Lan Lan received the bag, she was filled with joy, at the same time, there was a sense of loss and sadness. She knew that Yue Zhong and Annie were about to leave. This small village could not contain these 2.
Let’s go!
With an order, Ives and the rest turned around, leading them out of the village.
The moment Yue Zhong and Annie got on a horse, Yue Zhong asked,
Why did you guys capture the kids in the village?
Ives explained,
Master, the Mayor of Jiao Beast City, Marquis Valentin, wants to organize a banquet, and is lacking some blood food. With the orders from the higher-ups, this slave has no choice but to come out to get more for Marquis Valentin.
Yue Zhong frowned, and felt a sense of unease, continuing his line of questioning,
Blood food? What’s blood food?
Ives then proceeded to say what he knew.
The world, or rather the planet they were on, was called Great Dragon Planet, and the rulers were the great Holy Race. They were made up of creatures like Sanford, the Grey Wyrms, the Lightning Wyrms, and many other species. Humans were considered the lower class on this planet.
Each and every one of the Holy Race was esteemed and placed above the lower class. At the same time, there were tiers to their classes, namely the Nobles, Citizens, Commoners, and Slaves.
Ives was one of the nobles of the human race. Most of the humans within the Jiao Beast City were ordinary Citizens, whereas Commoners lived in the mountainsides and countries, like Lan Lan and the rest. Slaves were the lowest caste.
In this cruel world, the Holy Race was at the top, controlling the fate of the world. Humans were their food, and could be killed or slaughtered any time they liked. Even someone like Ives could be killed if he did not have a strong backing.
As for the human nobles, they were usually partners and assistants to the Holy Race, helping them manage affairs, hunt, and suppress their own kind, catching Commoners as Blood Food for the Holy Race.
Blood Food referred to the food of these Holy Race members. It was like the Second World, where the Saint Race treated the humans as food, and in fact, humans formed a huge part of their diets.
Of course, likewise in this world, there were many human heroes who sought to retaliate. However, in these thousands of years, all human resistance would be quickly put down before they could grow large enough. Furthermore, there was a separation in thinking of the humans. The nobles sought to ally themselves with the Holy Race, suppressing and hunting their fellow humans. The Holy Race might be cruel and savage, but there was a limit to their viciousness, as long as they had enough Blood Food, they would not consume wantonly. At the same time, there was still law and order. Hence, fewer humans stood out to resist the Holy Race, instead, becoming a sort of livestock for them.
The Holy Race were the rules on this planet, forming the Great Dragon Kingdom, with over 58,000 cities.
There were 48 kingdoms, each of them overseeing a thousand cities, while the main empire was in control of 10,000.
Each city would harbor a large number of humans and Holy Race members, while on the outskirts were numerous Commoners.
The Great Dragon Empire had their own experts as well, with each King being a Type 8 expert. The Emperor was rumored to be a Type 9 powerhouse. Each city was managed by a Type 7 mayor, and their own subordinates were also powerful warriors.
Under that sort of suppression, although there were easily 20 times humans to the Holy Race, they could only continue to serve.
The Jiao Beast City was a large city, prosperous and bustling. All around the city, the walls were at least 50m-high and there was a moat of about 40m wide surrounding the city. Only the 4 main gates in the North, South, East, and West directions allowed in and outflow.
This huge city wall and oat were enough to keep people in and out of the city.
The difference between Great Dragon Planet and Earth was that the gravity here was at least 10 times stronger, even a Type 3 powerhouse could only leap about 5m high. In order to jump into the city, one had to be at least at the Type 5 realm.
Due to the strength of the Holy Race, other than a few humans who submitted and acted as the fangs and claws of the Holy Race, the rest of the human race was largely below the Type 5 realm. Even the weakest Type 4 Holy Race member could defeat the strongest human.
On the city wall, there were 1,000 human soldiers and 100 Green Wyrm warriors patrolling.
The equipment of the 2 races were extremely clear. The humans only wore ordinary cotton armor, and wielded wooden spears, while the experts of the Green Wyrm Race held large cannons, and were covered with Enhanced Armors powered by Mutant Beasts. They even each had an alloy blade at their waist. The vast difference between the 2 sides were at least a hundred years’ worth of technology.
One single Green Wyrm expert in the Enhanced Armor could fight a Type 5 powerhouse, and wipe out a hundred human soldiers easily.
There were many laser cannons, machine guns, ray guns, and other advanced weaponry atop the wall. However, they were all controlled by the Green Wyrm experts.
The Holy Race was guarded even against the humans serving them, only allowing their own people the best of equipment to use. Humans could only utilize melee weapons, and like this, the humans were even more at a disadvantage and could not rise against the Holy Race by using those weapons.
As Yue Zhong and his group came to the South Gate, they saw a cart with a cage loaded on top, within it, numerous kids were locked.
The children were crying out uncontrollably, and yet, the humans in front of the carriage were smiling and discussing their haul.
Yue Zhong looked at those humans serving the Holy Race willingly and felt an unbridled fury arose, as his killing intent burst forth,
Damn bastards, they’re actually capturing their own kind for the pleasure of the Holy Race. Shameless!! They deserve to die!!
Annie frowned, her eyes also filled with killing intent,
Shall we act?
Chapter 973: Capturing the Mayor Manor!
Annie had a cold personality, to the point of being unfeeling sometimes. However, seeing these humans capturing the children of their fellow humans to present them as food for the Holy Race, this sort of behavior had really crossed her line as well, causing her to emit a killing intent.
Yue Zhong suppressed his own anger and spoke solemnly,
No need, head to the mayor’s manor directly!
Under his orders, the group of people quickly headed towards the gate.
Outside the gate, there were 16 human soldiers maintaining order. The moment they caught sight of the Grey Wyrm noble among Yue Zhong’s group, their expressions changed and they quickly darted to the sides, not daring to block their way.
The rest of the humans entering also quickly stepped aside, not daring to get in their way.
Although the humans in the city were of a higher caste than those Commoners outside, as well as slaves, in front of the Holy Race, they were still ants and could be beaten to death for no reason at all.
The structure and layout of the Jiao Beast City were modern, with high-rise buildings touching the skies, made out of unknown metal alloys. There were roads along the ground and even in the air, as vehicles traveled about, with anti-gravity capabilities.
Most of these occupants were the Grey Wyrms or Green Wyrms. No human could own such transportation means.
On the ground, other than the main roads, there were markings for carriages and pathways for walking as well. Those were mainly for the humans to use. The nobles of the human race rode horses, while the Citizens walked on the pathways.
Along those roads, there were a few Holy Races with savage expressions walking about as well. The moment they appeared, the nobles would quickly get off their horses while the citizens had to kneel on the ground while trembling from fear.
Inside the city, most of the nobles had some form of backing, thus, the Holy Race would not be too unbridled. However, against the citizens, if they were hungry, they could just pluck their heads off and eat them. Of course, it would be an offense to slaughter a citizen in public, but it was a fine at most, and there was little done to the Holy Race member.
On the path, from time to time, one could see some Holy Race members just devouring humans in broad daylight. Hence, as long as humans caught sight of them, they would evade as far as they could. If they could not, they would just kneel and tremble, praying that the Holy Race members had eaten their fill and not devour them.
Along the way, with Sanford, a true Holy Race member, leading the way, most humans would quickly get out of Yue Zhong’s path, if they could not get away in time, they would get down onto the ground and tremble.
He ignored them, heading straight for the direction of the mayor’s manor. Soon, he came to a huge castle that was about a thousand hectares.
Halt, this is the mayor’s manor! Get down, we’re conducting a search!
The moment they stepped into the gates, 4 Green Wyrms rushed out, barking at the party.
Yue Zhong spoke indifferently,
Get rid of them, knock them out!
With a wave of Annie’s hands, a number of silk strands directly pierced through their head, sending a spirit jolt, and knocked out the 4 Green Wyrm warriors.
Yue Zhong waved his hands, sending a number of Puppet Runes into their heads.
The moment the runes branded onto the souls, those Green Wyrm soldiers had already become his puppets.
The group continued on towards the inner part of the manor.
The defenses were tight inside the manor, with numerous scanners and surveillance cameras. On top of that, there were sentries everywhere, like it was a heavily guarded castle. If anyone wanted to barge into this place, they would have to pay a terrible price.
Except for Yue Zhong, the moment he entered, the Super A.I. Bai Yi had already infiltrated the systems within the manor easily, handing control over to Yue Zhong.
Unless it was an empire where there was a Super A.I. defending the fort like in the Mech Kingdom, otherwise, most systems could not even put any resistance when Bai Yi came into play.
Through Bai Yi, Yue Zhong easily gained control over the surveillance within the mayor, while Annie’s silk seemed to have a life of its own, easily traveling through the mayor, and knocking out those Holy Races warriors who were hiding in the dark.
In front of a Type 8 powerhouse like her, whose perception was so strong, those Holy Race warriors were as weak as ants, and no one could defend themselves.
With a thought, the Type 7 Mech that could change shapes appeared and covered his body, forming a silver-gold frame. He then controlled it with his will to move.
Yue Zhong stored many Mechs within his storage ring, even without Annie, he was able to make use of them to move.
When Annie saw that, there was a slight sense of loss in her eyes.
The manor was constructed beautifully, and with a complicated design. If an ordinary person were to come in, it was likely they would be lost.
However, since Bai Yi had control over the mainframe of the building, the structure was basically in her hands. She guided Yue Zhong smoothly towards the palace where the mayor Marquis Valentin was staying in.
The moment Yue Zhong entered Valentin’s residence, he immediately saw a number of children of age 5 to 12, every one of them naked and trapped in cages, placed atop a long dining table. Seated at the tables, were a number of 3m-tall Holy Race members with Wyrm-heads, and vicious gazes.
The children within the cages were wailing and sobbing, their eyes filled with despair.
Valentin himself sat at the head seat, in front of him, there was a large basin, filled with cream, and 2 silver-haired girls with lithe bodies. Their eyes were filled with despair.
Seeing Yue Zhong appear suddenly, Valentin was taken aback, before his gaze turned cold and he laughed savagely,
Capture that human alive. I want to question him, just how a lowly human can actually enter our palace? Those stupid human guards must have a spy within them. I will sniff him out and roast him alive.
Hearing Marquis Valentin’s order, 2 Type 6 Green Wyrm soldiers exploded forth, charging towards Yue Zhong with a burst of light.
Valentin watched them act, his eyes filled with a vicious glint. Those 2 Type 6 Green Wyrm warriors had torn numerous humans apart and were the cruelest of his subordinates.
Yue Zhong’s gaze was cold as he barked out icily,
Damn beasts. Today will be your death day! I will let you guys know that humans are not your food!
Annie waved her hands, and numerous silk shot out to restrain the 2 Green Wyrm warriors, and in a flash, they were sliced up by the silk, blood and body parts splattering on the floor.
Seeing how Annie took care of those 2 easily, the rest of the Holy Race experts were filled with trepidation as they stared at Annie.
Type 7?! No!!! You’re a Type 8 powerhouse!! There’s actually someone like you on Great Dragon Planet!! I must definitely report this to the Emperor!! All of you charge forth and kill these 2 with all your might.
Valentin saw how Annie easily sliced the 2 Green Wyrm apart, and his face fell. He gave this order, before the dragon wings on his back unfolded and flapped powerfully, soaring into the sky.
Under Valentin’s orders, the Holy Race soldiers on either side of the table stood up, prepared to fight Annie to the death.
Every single one of these Green Wyrm members was ferocious and loved to battle. As long as there was an order, they would go all the way, even if they were not a match for their opponent, they would never retreat.
As the experts of from the Green Wyrm moved, the silk strands would pierce through their heads, controlling their bodies.
Valentin had just flown out when the silk strands already burst forth and wrapped around him. At the same time, one of the silk shot towards the back of Valentin’s head.
As everything happened at once, Valentin flipped his hands, and a mechanical plate containing a Type 8 nucleus appeared. A transparent shield immediately enveloped him, blocking the silk strand.
The mechanical was a C3-Grade protection treasure, it was even able to defend against Type 8 powerhouses.
Every city mayor had a C3-Grade defense treasure, and it was their life-saving item.
At the same time, Valentin waved his hands, causing numerous beams of light to shoot towards the sky.
Annie frowned, and sent out more silk strands, coiling around the light beams.
The over-200 beams were mostly destroyed, but there was a dozen that managed to shoot away at 50 times the speed of sound, disappearing from the location.
Chapter 974: Shock!
Valentin sneered within the protection of the C3-Grade shield,
Hahaha, humans, I have already sent out information on the 2 of you. Not long after, the Great Dragon Empire will know of your existence. If you surrender now, I can still spare you and give you a way out. I can even confer upon you a noble status! Otherwise, you and the 300,000 humans in this Jiao Beast City will be wiped out!!
The defense of the C3-Grade treasure was incredibly shocking, as long as the Type 8 Mutant Beast nucleus was not expended fully, within a short time, Annie would not be able to break through it.
The silk strands of Annie were useful in many areas, they could be used to assassinate, control, bind, defend, and even stealth, but they were not particularly strong in offense.
If it were Yue Zhong at his peak, he could definitely destroy the shield with a punch.
You’re spouting too much bullshit! Just sleep already!
Yue Zhong swept Valentin a look, his eyes flashing with a cold gaze, and a powerful intent that surpassed even a Type 9 powerhouse blasted towards him.
Your Majesty!!
Struck by that intent, Valentin felt as though Yue Zhong had transformed into the Great Dragon Emperor who he feared and respected, reaching out to grab his head.
Under that terrifying spirit attack, Valentin’s will was crushed, and his body crumpled to the ground, while the Mechanical Plate controlling the C3-Grade treasure fell onto the ground, and the shield disappeared.
Yue Zhong simply shook his finger, and sent a Type 7 Puppet Rune into Valentin’s head, turning him into a puppet.
Annie stood quietly, and while her she seemed calm on the surface, her heart was full of shock,
That was formidable!! His will and intent already surpassed most Type 9 powerhouses!
The usage of intent or willpower, as well as spatial laws, were the largest barriers for many Type 8 powerhouses to break through to the Type 9 realm. Many half-step Type 9 powerhouses would be stuck at the bottleneck for many years, before heading to various secret battlefields to temper themselves. However, most of them would only be able to train their will to be on the same realm as their strength, few could possess a will stronger than a Type 9 powerhouse at the Type 8 realm.
Valentin quickly came to, and he immediately came up to Yue Zhong, speaking respectfully,
Your slave Valentin greets Master!
Yue Zhong asked,
How many Holy Race members are there in the Jiao Beast City?
Valentin quickly replied,
There are 35,434 Holy Race members, 476 Type 6 powerhouses, 11,123 Type 5 powerhouses, and the rest Type 4.
With a wave of his hands, Yue Zhong sent a Puppet Rune into Valentin’s hands
These are 40,000 Puppet Runes, go turn all of them into puppets that you can control.
There was no thickness to the Puppet Rune, there was no difference between 40,000 of them and 1 of them.
Yes! Master! Valentin received the 40,000 runes and quickly led his subordinates out.
Annie swept a look over the children on the dining table, her brows furrowing slightly,
What do we about these little kids?
Don’t kill me!! Big brother, big sister, please, don’t kill me!!
I know how to do things, I’m willing to help you!! Please don’t kill me.
…’
When the kids on the table heard Yue Zhong and Annie’s conversation, they were filled with fear as they began to plead. They had seen how the 2 of them had slaughtered the Green Wyrms easily and were obviously more terrifying than the Holy Race. That was why they began to plead.
In fact, within the Great Dragon Planet, humans were even more vicious than the Holy Race.
Yue Zhong looked at the wailing children and frowned. He emitted a powerful aura, but was not fierce, as he barked,
Keep quiet!
The kids were all frightened by Yue Zhong’s intimidation, as they fell silent, staring at him with fear.
Yue Zhong spoke softly,
When I’m done handling things here, I will let you out. For now, just keep calm.
Hearing that, these kids finally managed to quieten down peacefully.
Annie frowned,
Are you intending to defend the city? We’re not a match for the entire Great Dragon Empire.
If it were up to her, they had to leave here immediately.
The Great Dragon Empire was the overlord of this world and had over 48 Type 8 powerhouses, 1 Type 9 powerhouse and numerous Type 7 and Type 6 experts. Such a force was enough to crush Annie and Yue Zhong.
Annie was a human Holy Daughter, and against 100 Type 7 powerhouses, she could wipe them out. However, against 500 Type 7 powerhouses, she would have to retreat. If a thousand Type 7 experts joined forces, they could kill her.
Furthermore, Yue Zhong was still heavily injured, Annie did not wish to go against the Great Dragon Empire at this point in time.
Yue Zhong chuckled confidently,
Relax, I know what I’m doing.
Annie saw that, and replied with a nod,
En!
Valentin was the mayor of the Jiao Beast City, and as he led his troops towards the rest of the Holy Race, he swiftly converted them all into Yue Zhong’s puppets.
Noon, in the center of the city, the 300,000 humans were already gathered. All of them had been summoned by the Holy Race and eyed the warriors with fear, afraid of their lives being claimed.
One human noble in a suit, Ran Jiang, looked towards another noble, Huo Te, and asked in an low voice,
Old Huo, what’s going on? Why did the city mayor gather all of us here? Is he going to kill all of us?
Hou Te had a look of alarm as he began to tremble, replying with a voice lacking in confidence,
I hope not… We already did so much for them, they should eat the rest instead of us right?!
Inside the Jiao Beast City, all humans were mere food for the Holy Races. Every year, many noble sons and daughters would also be captured. However, there had never been a massacre before.
After all, if the Holy Race were to just slaughter wantonly, all humans would be wiped out, then the Holy Race would experience food shortage.
As the humans present began to speculate and guess, a human beauty dressed in silver armor came walking out, guarded by a number of ferocious-looking Holy Race warriors, as she came up to the podium.
Huo Te gazed at Yue Zhong and Annie and could not help but exclaim,
Look!! Those are humans!!
Ran Jiang had a look of disbelief,
How could humans be walking together with the city mayor?
Seeing Yue Zhong and Annie, the humans below began to break out in a discussion.
Yue Zhong frowned, and emitted a powerful pressure,
Quiet!
Immediately, everyone quietened down.
Yue Zhong then explained,
I am Yue Zhong, a human. From today onwards, I’m the new mayor of the Jiao Beast City, you all are my citizens. My aim is to destroy the Great Dragon Empire and release all humans, instating humans as the rulers of this planet. I order you all to follow me, and fight for the freedom and rights of your fellow human beings, as well as your lives.
When those words fell, it was as though everyone became ants thrown in a boiling pot of water. Most of them did not celebrate, instead, they were filled with fear and terror.
After such a long period of time, the humans had no lack of any passionate young heroes to go against the Great Dragon Empire, however, their plights had always been miserable. All those who joined them had always been caught and eaten as well. Under the threat of the Great Dragon Empire’s might, no one here wanted to fight against the Holy Race.
Regardless of what you think, I don’t care. What I need is your absolute obedience. Those who resist will die. My first order is that, from now on, no one is to hunt other humans, to hand any of your fellow human beings to the Holy Race. Those who disobey will end up like these guys.
Yue Zhong waved his hands, as 30 human soldiers-turned-puppets escorted 200 human nobles, as well as numerous others, out like dogs, shoving them towards the platform.
One of the captured nobles had a savage look as he roared out,
Release me!! Yue Zhong, you damn traitor!! You dare go against the Great Dragon Empire!! The Empire would not let you off! You will be punished and cooked by the Empire!!
Another noble also screamed,
You dare to capture me!! My backer is Marquis Serati!! If you dare to touch me, you will definitely die!!
The captured nobles were all screaming and venting their fury.
Yue Zhong waved his hands, and declared coldly,
Kill!
In that instant, the 30 Type 5 human soldiers wielded large blades and charged through the captives, before turning to their hunting squads as well. Their blades swished through the air, acting like grinders.
The podium then became like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The nobles and their hunting squads were all sliced up into headless or dismembered corpses, crumpling to the ground.
In an instant, there were over 4,000 dead bodies.
When the spectators saw this, all of them turned pale, and many vomited from the gruesome nature of the massacre. They were filled with fear towards Yue Zhong, as though he was a Devil King.
To these humans who had been treated like slaves, Yue Zhong just needed them to fear him and obey him, only then would he throw them into battle.
Chapter 975: Attack!
Seeing Yue Zhong slaughter those hunting parties without mercy, the spectating humans were all filled with terror.
Yue Zhong shot them all a glance, and declared solemnly,
From now on, all of you will become warriors, until we have fully obliterated the Great Dragon Emperor. Now, we will begin registration.
After establishing his dominance, the numerous human soldiers-turned-puppets quickly came forward, beginning the forceful recruitment of soldiers, registering everyone present as a soldier.
When Annie saw how Yue Zhong forced these humans to be soldiers, her brows arched, as she spoke,
Yue Zhong, even if these people became soldiers, their hearts are not with you, there’s no point.
These humans had been domesticated entirely by the Great Dragon Empire over thousands of years, their behavior and attitude were too servile. They had no intentions of resisting the Great Dragon Empire, even if Yue Zhong were to conscript them, they would not become a strong force.
Even if they took a step back, and these people were willing to go against the Great Dragon Empire, in front of such might, they were not even capable of being cannon fodder. Thus, Annie could not understand why Yue Zhong would want to waste the time and energy.
Yue Zhong looked out at those numb and desensitized people, and spoke,
I know. However, Annie, in order to truly change a race from being slaves to the rulers, it is not possible to rely on just a few people. They need to learn to stand up and fight for their own. Only then would there be a bright future. These people will be the future of the human race here on Great Dragon Planet.
To leave the future of the race to the decisions of a few top humans would not be enough. Otherwise, if there were no strong contenders and future generations, the race would still fall to ruins.
Yue Zhong chose to force the people within the Jiao Beast City to become soldiers in order to raise their combat will, the intention to resist, as well as the honor and glory of ages past. As for their combat strength, Yue Zhong did not really give a hoot about it.
Eyeing the people below, Yue Zhong took a piece of fruit that seemed to be burning like a flame and took a huge bite. As the fruit entered his abdomen, a pure energy coursed through to his soul, replenishing the damage he sustained.
This scarlet-red fruit was called the Blazing Flame Fruit, a special product of the Great Dragon Planet. When consumed, it can benefit a person’s spirit and soul.
After he took over Jiao Beast City, Yue Zhong discovered many of such fruits within the manor, and they were the best medicine to treat his injuries.
About 5,000 km west of the city, there was a huge and grand city covering a large area, with numerous floating islands above, as well as a huge 1m-tall city wall covering it.
This city was called the Green Wyrm King City, the capital home of the Green Wyrm Kingdom.
Within the city, there was a beautiful and lavish palace. There was a beautiful green lake located inside, and in the pavilion overlooking the lake, 2 Wyrm-head creatures were relaxing, their bodies naked and covered with green scales.
Inside the lake itself, a number of red-scaled mermaids with exceptional looks and alluring figures were frolicking around.
One of the 2 Green Wyrms, who emitted a peak-Type 8 strength, reached out grab a fresh and bloody human heart, taking a bite out of it, as he laughed cruelly,
Valentin had just a call for aid, there’s some Type 8 female human that had breached the Jiao Beast City. What do you think, Isado?
Isado’s brows arched, as he replied,
Your Majesty, defeating a Type 8 human powerhouse is easy, but it would be tough to kill them. Considering the strength of our Green Wyrm Kingdom, it would be difficult to kill that human. I think we should request for the other kingdoms for aid.
Every Type 8 powerhouse had their capabilities, and unless one had absolute strength to overwhelm the opponent, most of the time, a clash would only result in a win or lose, very seldom would one be able to kill the enemy.
It was especially so for human Type 8 powerhouses. Their combat strength might not be comparable to other races of the same realm, but in terms of life preservation, most human experts were more capable than foreign races. If a Type 8 expert wanted to leave, even an expert of a stronger realm might not be able to catch them.
The Green Wyrm King downed a cup of virgin’s blood, laughing lightly,
True, with our present strength, it would be easy to defeat her, but to kill her, it would be difficult. I’ve already reached out to the Grey Wyrm Kingdom, the Scarlet Wyrm Kingdom, the Blue Wyrm Kingdom, and the Silver Wyrm Kingdom to request for help. The 4 kingdoms had already entered a state of vigilance, selecting their experts to organize a net around the Jiao Beast City.
With a wave of his hands, a holographic image appeared, revealing the scene in the Jiao Beast City,
That Type 8 powerhouse is truly a fool. If she had fled the moment she revealed herself, it would be a headache for us to deal with her. We would need to invite the 8 Great Saint Kings, or even the great Emperor to act personally. However, she is actually trying to organize a human army to resist our Holy Race. What ignorance. Once we are done gathering our troops, it would be hard for her to flee. At that time, if we can capture her alive, I will toy with her to my heart’s content, before eating her. A human Type 8 powerhouse, just thinking about it is enough to make me salivate.
On the display, Annie was standing in front of some human troops being trained, her gaze cold, her demeanor valiant. Beside her, there were 20 others learning to lead as well.
The technology on Great Dragon Planet was incredibly advanced as well, with satellites to provide feed. The moment Jiao Beast City had fallen, a dozen satellites were in place to conduct surveillance around the clock, sending the image back to the Green Wyrm Kingdom.
Isado looked at Annie with a hint of contempt in his eyes,
What a big-breasted bimbo. She actually reckons that she could make use of the humans in Jiao Beast City to go against our Holy Race. It is truly foolish. Your Majesty, I will surely capture this woman alive for you to enjoy.
There was a cruel smile on the face of the Green Wyrm King,
3 days later, all troops will gather at the point. At that time, Isado, it will be up to you.
Isado replied respectfully,
Yes, Your Majesty!
3 days later, outside the Jiao Beast City, a large number of troops gathered in all 4 directions about a 100km away from the city. The Holy Race army numbered about 8m, intending to surround the city.
Within these forces, there were all sorts of strange equipment and preparations, including powerful and advanced cannons, as well as mechanical devices meant to capture.
A huge 10,000m-long battleship soared above in the skies, and in a flash of light, 12 Holy Race experts were sent down.
The 12 Holy Race warriors did not look too different, but they had scales of 4 different colors, and there were 3 experts of each color.
The Green Wyrm King looked at the 12 warriors, his face smiling, as he walked up and greeted them enthusiastically,
Grey Wyrm King, Scarlet Wyrm King, Blue Wyrm King, Silver Wyrm King, glad you all could make it. This time, the Type 8 human expert would find it hard to flee.
The Silver Wyrm King licked his lips,
Green Wyrm King, we can help you capture that female Type 8 powerhouse, but, we all want to have a go at her too. When you decide to consume her, we want a part of flesh as well. We have not eaten a Type 8 powerhouse’s flesh for a long time.
These Holy Race warriors of the Wyrm Race were all lustful creatures, and they loved mating with the females of other races. At the same time, they enjoyed slaughter and loved to consume human flesh the most.
This time, the 4 Kings came from their own kingdoms, interested in consuming Annie.
The Green Wyrm King laughed out loud,
No problem! We will all play and eat together!
The Silver Wyrm King had a vicious glint in his eyes,
In that case, since we’re all prepared, let’s move out!!
Of the 5 Wyrm Kingdoms, the Silver Wyrm Race was the strongest and had the most warriors. Even on the Green Wyrm King’s territory, he had the most authority.
With that order, all the Holy Race warriors raised their weapons, decked in their Enhanced equipment, and began to soar into the air, heading towards the Jiao Beast City.
With this, over a million warriors flew through the air.
It was a terrifying scene, to see a seemingly endless number of soldiers blocking out the skies.
Enemy attack!! Enemy attack!!
When the Holy Race launched their attack, the soldiers in Beast Jiao City discovered them pretty fast, and the whole city began to sound out the alarm.
Hearing the alarm, many of the soldiers who had been training began to find cover as per their training.
However, there were those who stared at the sky with ashen expressions, their bodies trembling.
Chapter 976: Silk Domain!
The vanguard wave of the Holy Race had numbers exceeding the imagination of the people in the city, causing them to be filled with despair.
It’s over, we cannot win… We’re doomed!!! We’re going to be killed!! It’s over!!
‘We’re so dead, this time, we’re are going to become food for the Holy Race!!
…
The soldiers looked to the sky in horror, seeing the dense numbers of flying soldiers. Their expressions turned ashen, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and were filled with terror. Many of them had just been trained for a short time, and their fighting morale was not high. Faced with such a scenario, they fell into despair easily.
Standing atop the wall, Annie looked at the number of soldiers covering the skies, her brows furrowed,
There are too many enemies. It’ll be difficult for me to deal with all of them!
If Annie were to go all out and utilize her Domain, it would be possible for her to kill tens of thousands of enemies. However, to fend off a million soldiers, it was too much to ask.
Don’t worry, watch me!!
Yue Zhong laughed, and waved his hands,
Bai Yi, do it! Blast them out of the skies!!
Yes!
With a single order, all throughout Jiao Beast City, cannons appeared, pointed to the skies, and adjusted their aim swiftly.
At that instant, they all fired out mercilessly, forming a rain of bullets that blasted at the skies.
Under the barrage of attacks, many flying Holy Race soldiers were instantly obliterated, their bodies ripped and shredded.
Bai Yi was Yue Zhong’s treasure, thus, the enemies she hunted was considered Yue Zhong’s, and a huge amount of life force was absorbed by him, quickly healing his wounds.
Life force was the simplest and purest of energy in a biological life form, with the ability to strengthen the physique, heal the soul, and nourish the spirit. Because of this, it was able to help a person evolve continuously, finally achieving the God-Devil Physique.
There were so many cannons within the city, and under Bai Yi’s control, they were able to exhibit 200% of their power. Anything beyond the 3km area of the city was directly buffeted by the attacks, causing the Holy Race soldiers to turn into mists of blood.
What?! So many Holy Races are being killed?!
So many!!! So many are being killed!! This Yue Zhong is killing so many Holy Race warriors!! Too formidable! They can’t even get close. Maybe… we might be able to win by following him!! Maybe we can truly wipe out the Holy Races!!
…
As they watched the countless soldiers being slaughtered in the skies, not able to get close to the city, many despairing soldiers suddenly felt that there was hope.
The soldiers who had already been turned into puppets began hollering at the rest of the human soldiers,
Attack!! Wipe out those stinky worms!!! Attack now and victory will belong to us, humans!!! By killing them, we will have a chance at survival!! Otherwise, we will all be killed without a burial ground!!
Kill!!!
Kill!! Kill!! Kill!! We’re invincible!!
…
Under the barking of those puppets, the rest of the human soldiers finally manage to muster some courage and will to fight. They raised their weapons and began to act according to their training, getting behind cover and firing at the soldiers in the skies.
With Bai Yi’s incredible aim, the humans were able to exhibit a decent result, hitting each and every Holy Race soldier who burst apart. This raised their confidence and morale.
Slowly, the rest of the human soldiers began to join the battle, attacking the soaring Holy Race soldiers. They no longer felt like domesticated livestock, instead, they began to feel like soldiers subconsciously.
As for the Holy Races, they were not trashed either, but savage creatures. Even with so many of their comrades being killed, they did not seem to have any fear, instead, readying their own particle rifles to fire back at the city.
A number of the beams blasted upon the city wall, punching many holes into it, and a few human soldiers and equipment atop the walls were also destroyed as a result.
The city wall was meant to keep out humans, thus, while it was effective against human experts, to the weapons of the Holy Race, it was not much.
Countless beams fired out continuously at each side, and both sides began to suffer more casualties.
However, as the human soldiers had cover, while the Holy Race soldiers were flying in the skies, they were the best for target practice. Hence, the Holy Race was suffering more, without achieving much.
Amidst the cruel and intense battle, the Holy Race soldiers had no choice but to land on the ground and spread out, in order to minimize casualties.
Annie stood beside Yue Zhong, seeing that he had not yet acted personally but had already caused so much damage to the enemies, and her eyes were filled with respect,
As expected, he is something else in terms of combat and warfare.
Furthermore, through this battle, while the soldiers in Beast Jiao City could not be considered elites, they would have gained the confidence and will to fight the Holy Race. They were no longer trash and domesticated livestock, but a strength that could be utilized.
At the center of the 5 armies, the Silver Wyrm King looked at the Jiao Beast City, his eyes flashing with a look of greed,
Strong! I thought that woman was just a big-breasted no-brain beauty, but who knew she could train trash to such standards? I really want to eat her now!!
The Scarlet Wyrm King piped in,
The probing has ended, let’s do it for real!!
The first million Holy Race soldiers were just sent to probe the city, they wanted to see just how strong Annie was. In their estimations, such a number should have been sufficient to force Annie to act, then they could assess her strength and act against her to capture her alive. They were not naive to think that a million soldiers would be enough to defeat her.
The Silver Wyrm King nodded in agreement,
Sure!
She’s out!! The Type 8 human powerhouse is out!!
Just as the Silver Wyrm King was about to give the order, all of a sudden, Annie, who had been staying still atop the city center, flew out and charged into the midst of the Holy Race warriors.
Annie raised her hands, and numerous transparent silk strands shot out to pierce the heads of those Holy Race soldiers, directly killing them.
The silk strands were like Annie’s clones, as long as anything was in her range of perception, the silk strands could easily penetrate the enemies and kill them.
With her full strength on display, it was like a sweeper, clearing waves after waves of Holy Race soldiers. Huge numbers of the Type 5 soldiers were slaughtered like ants, without any means to resist.
All Type 8 powerhouses had the terrifying ability to manipulate atmospheric energy, and against lower-ranked opponents, it was a huge advantage. As long as Annie had enough time, she could easily wipe out this million-strong army.
The Silver Wyrm King watched Annie slaughtering those low-leveled Holy Race soldiers, and was not furious, instead, he felt excited, ordering,
Very good! Very good!! She’s finally made her move!! Her strength is at the high-Type 8 realm, which is commendable for a human. However, she’s not our match! Everyone attack! Catch her alive!!
As long as they could get her, even if they had to lose 8 million Holy Race soldiers, they would not frown. After all, a Type 8 human expert could cause the Great Dragon Empire a headache if she chose to hide and use guerilla tactics. If it came to that, only the Type 9 Emperor could deal with her.
If the Type 8 powerhouse was well-versed in stealth and did not act, instead, just hiding for long without any signs, then even a Type 9 powerhouse would be powerless. After all, a Type 9 powerhouse was only halfway to the True God stage, and not yet invincible.
Good! Move out!!
The moment the Silver Wyrm King spoke, the 3 million Holy Race soldiers immediately soared out towards the city.
The 5 Kings brought their strongest subordinates and turned into 14 beams that hid their aura and wore ordinary equipment, hiding among the soldiers as they headed towards Annie’s location.
Not long after, the 3 million-strong army surged towards Annie.
Silk Domain!
Facing that endless waves of soldiers, Annie’s gaze turned chilly and activated her Domain. At that instant, countless transparent silk shot out from her body, containing principles and laws as they shot out, capable of slicing even the fleshy body of a Type 9 powerhouse.
The silk strands reached out to about 3 km around her, slicing and cutting constantly, with her at the center, and any unfortunate Holy Race soldier that got close enough would be chopped up into fine pieces. In just a single second, over 90,000 Holy Race soldiers had been sliced apart.
Chapter 977: Defeating the Holy Race!
After Annie activated her Domain, the strength of her silk increased exponentially, as countless silk strands shot through the skies, slicing the numerous Holy Race soldiers into pieces of meat. Every second, over thousands, were being wiped out.
As she floated in mid-air, she was like a killing goddess, slaughtering tens of thousands of Holy Race soldiers. This was the true terror of a Type 8 powerhouse who comprehended a domain, with the ability to take out an entire country.
Domain? Not bad, she’s high-quality! However, break for me!
The Silver Wyrm King who was hiding within his troops cackled, before suddenly exploding forth with full strength. His claw came slashing as his Silver Dragon Domain burst out, and images of silver dragons roaring encompassed the area, rushing at Annie’s Silk Domain.
As the Silver Dragon Domain slammed in the Silk Domain, the countless silver dragons roared out and ravaged, tearing apart most of the silk strands, causing even the principles and laws within to disintegrate, and they could not maintain their form.
Annie’s comprehension into the law could not compare to the Silver Wyrm King’s, thus, when both clashed, her Domain was at a disadvantage.
The Green Wyrm King took the chance to activate his Speed Domain, with a terrifying acceleration that tore apart space, he appeared behind Annie mysteriously, his expression an evil grin as he grabbed at Annie’s head.
The rest of the Kings also encroached on Annie’s location from 3 different directions, sealing any possible escape.
The 5 Kings, who were at the half-step Type 8 realm, all shot through the skies, each of them wielding a silver spatial plate, channeling their power to activate a spatial barrier that sealed everything within a 10km radius.
This spatial barrier would take 2 punches from a peak-Type 8 powerhouse to break through. As long as they could hold her for that extra moment, it would be enough to injure her or to capture her alive.
The lion does not hold back while hunting the rabbit, likewise, even if the Scarlet Wyrm King and the rest looked down on a human powerhouse when they made their move, it was all-in, not giving Annie a chance.
The threat of a Type 8 powerhouse was too huge, and their ability to flee was extremely high as well. If not careful, they could cause a disaster. The Kings did not want to leave it to fate.
Seeing that Annie was about to be captured by the Green Wyrm King, all of a sudden, there was an area behind Annie that was filled with Devil Qi, as a powerful Devil Domain burst forth, instantly enveloping everything within a 30 km radius.
The claws of the Green Wyrm King closed on thin air.
Numerous devils suddenly appeared, pouncing on the Holy Race warriors and turning them into emaciated corpses that fell out of the sky. It seemed as though the sky was pouring dead bodies all of a sudden, and it was a shocking sight.
The terrifying Devil Qi within the Devil Domain was not easy to resist, as even the 9 half-Type 8 powerhouses following their kings were affected, their faces turning pale before they were all reduced to corpses.
The spatial barrier also disappeared immediately.
Dumb fools, since you’ve sent yourself up, that’s great, you can all go to hell!
Yue Zhong walked out from the midst of the Devil Qi, appearing mysteriously behind the Green Wyrm King, and with a single slap, he turned the Type 8 Green Wyrm King into a bloody mess, while the life force was absorbed by him.
When he was done absorbing that life force, as well as the numerous life force energy of the soldiers, flowed into Yue Zhong’s soul. Adding on to the Blazing Flame Fruit, he quickly recovered.
After he had killed the Green Wyrm King in a single hit, Yue Zhong’s eyes narrowed as he eyed the rest of the Holy Race Kings, and with a thought, he threw himself right smack in the middle of them.
At that instant, the insidious Devil Qi began to surge around the remaining 4 Wyrm Kings like snakes.
The 3 weaker Wyrm Kings were immediately turned to emaciated corpses as their blood essences were absorbed cleanly, their dead bodies floating around in the domain.
As for the Silver Wyrm King, he was still trying his best to pit his Silver Dragon Domain against the Devil Domain, forcefully holding the Devil Qi at bay.
Since Yue Zhong was still evolving constantly, the might of his God-Devil Domain grew alongside him. Just the Devil Domain was able to slaughter those without domains currently.
Break for me!!
Inside the Devil Domain, the Silver Wyrm King roared out savagely, as his entire body transformed into a silver dragon that charged towards the skies, his right claw flashing about and tearing many of the devilish manifestations apart. He then charged towards the edge of the domain.
Currently, he no longer had thoughts of capturing Annie, he just wanted to flee and survive this ordeal.
You want to flee?
Yue Zhong laughed coldly, and with a thought, he appeared in front of the Silver Wyrm King. His terrifying will then burst forth, enveloping the Silver Wyrm King as he roared out,
Kneel!!
Under the assault of the terrifying intent, the body of the Silver Wyrm King shuddered, and in his mind, he seemed to see Yue Zhong transform into a might giant that had no limits to his size, stretching out a massive hand intending to flatten him.
The moment his consciousness was grabbed, the Silver Wyrm King screamed out miserably and fainted.
With a finger pointed out, Yue Zhong sent a Type 8 Puppet Rune into the head of the Silver Wyrm King, turning him into his puppet.
After he had taken care of those Type 8 Wyrms easily, Yue Zhong expanded the Devil Domain, as wave after wave of Devil Qi enveloped the countless Holy Race soldiers below.
As the Devil clouds passed, many of the soldiers were turned into dried corpses as they fell out of the sky.
By the time over a million Holy Race soldiers were wiped out by Yue Zhong, the remaining ones started to feel a sense of terror. They dispersed, pulling out their particle cannons in a bid to fire at the devil clouds. However, the clouds seemed to consume everything, even when the beams struck the cloud, there was no reaction.
At the same time, most of the automatic weapons that were brought by the Wyrms outside the city began to adjust their aim,and began firing wildly at the remaining Holy Race soldiers.
The weapons meant to prevent Annie from escaping had suddenly turned on their masters, causing catastrophic damage to the Holy Race army, as many of the soldiers were punctured full of holes.
The entire region outside the city had turned into a hell of blood and beams, with increasing Holy Race casualties, their blood seeping into the ground.
At every second, there were thousands and dozens of soldiers being killed.
On the road leading to Jiao Beast City, there were countless mangled corpses of the Holy Race soldiers.
After the intense battle continued for a while, the millions of soldiers under the Holy Race banner who had lost their leaders and comrades began to turn tail and scrambled to flee.
These Holy Race soldiers were beings with intelligence, if they had a leader, under absolute orders, even if faced with death, they would fight till the end. However, since 4 of the Kings had been killed and the remaining’s fate was unknown, adding on to the intense firepower from Jiao Beast City, Yue Zhong, as well as the automatic weapons they brought, they could no longer hold out and started to crumble.
We won!! We actually won!!
It was a huge victory!! Our victory!!
…
Seeing the fleeing Holy Race soldiers in the skies and on the ground, the human soldiers in Jiao Beast City were filled with disbelief and overwhelming joy. They began to erupt in cheers and roars, they had originally assumed that only death awaited them for their rebellion. However, they had actually survived and achieved a great victory, killing over 3 million Holy Race soldiers, defeating the 8 million strong army. Such a battle result was simply unimaginable.
An order was then passed,
Attack!! Sir Yue Zhong has given the order, we will attack Green Tooth City!!
Attack!! Wipe out those damn creatures!!
Attack!!
…
Having received that order, the excited soldiers finally mustered their courage, as they began boarding the numerous anti-gravity vehicles and made for the direction of Green Tooth City.
With Yue Zhong’s ability to deal with a million soldiers easily, the human soldiers were filled with bravado and excitement.
Under Annie’s lead, all the soldiers poured out of the city, heading towards Green Tooth City.
Most of the forces within Green Tooth City had already been activated by the Green Wyrm King, thus, they were easily routed and brought down by the human army, while the surviving 5,000 Holy Race members in the city were slaughtered mercilessly.
After dealing with Green Tooth City, the human forces’ morale was greatly boosted. Furthermore, they obtained even more advanced weaponry and equipment, thus raising their confidence and capabilities.
The 500,000 humans within Green Tooth City were also conscripted into the forces, reorganized into the growing human army.
During the reorganization and training, the forces of Jiao Beast City began to take out the surrounding cities around the region, freeing those under the Green Wyrm King, while bolstering their forces and further training the new recruits.
With the death of the Green Wyrm King, the forces of the Green Wyrm Race had been broken, and no one could stop the expansion of Annie’s forces.
Chapter 978: Killing a Holy King!
Other than the Emperor of the Great Dragon Empire, there were 8 Holy Kings, each of them was a half-step Type 9 powerhouse, and were the pillars of the Empire, helping to deal with countless foreign races and powerhouses.
The Gold Wyrm Kingdom was one of the 8 Holy Kingdoms, their King was the Gold Wyrm King, one of the 8 Holy Kings.
One peak-Type 8 powerhouse came running into the palace of the Gold Wyrm King, letting out a miserable roar,
Gold Wyrm Holy King! It’s bad!! Something’s terrible happened!!
The powerful voice reverberated throughout the kingdom, and hearing that voice and message, everyone in the kingdom had a huge change in expression.
Following that shocking voice, a flash of silver light charged into the palace of the Golden Wyrm King.
Along the way, there was no one who came forward to stop the silver light, allowing it to rush straight into the palace, revealing the face of the shocked Silver Wyrm King.
A beautiful lady in white, with long black hair, came up to the Silver Wyrm King and bowed, saying,
Your Majesty Silver Wyrm King, I’m called Cai Wei, the great Gold Wyrm Holy King has instructions for me to welcome you, please come with me.
The Silver Wyrm King had a fierce glint in his eyes as he roared out impatiently,
Bring me over quickly! Otherwise, I’ll eat you in one bite!
Cai Wei’s body trembled slightly, as a look of fear flashed across her eyes. She replied quickly,
Yes!
She was an absolute beauty and had some position within the Gold Wyrm Kingdom. However, at the end of the day, she was still a prey, and if the Silver Wyrm King were to really eat her, the Gold Wyrm Holy King would just watch on and laugh.
Cai Wei brought the Silver Wyrm King through a few corridors, before arriving at a garden that was filled with mist, countless fragrant flowers, and numerous beautiful ladies. It looked like a garden out of paradise.
Inside the pavilion of the garden, there were 4 beings, resembling each other. To the human eyes, it would be hard to distinguish them, these were all Wyrm-head beings of the Holy Race. Only the different colored-scales showed a clear distinction between their races.
The moment she entered the pavilion, Cai Wei’s face turned horrified, as she became pale. She saw a beautiful corpse on the pavilion, and the lady had been sliced up in countless pieces, placed in front of the 4 Wyrms.
Seeing that beautiful corpse, there was a look of sorrow and anguish in Cai Wei’s eyes. That lady was her closest friend and sister, and she had been one who received the love of the Gold Wyrm Holy King. To think that she would still meet with such an end.
The golden-scaled Gold Wyrm Holy King saw the Silver Wyrm King coming in and smiled, extending a plate that had the bloodied head of the woman towards him,
What’s the matter, Silver Wyrm King? Why are you so anxious? Come and taste the rare Nine Yin body of a young woman.
Greetings Gold Wyrm Holy King, Silver Wyrm Holy King, Grey Wyrm Holy King, and Green Wyrm Holy King, I have an important matter to report.
The Silver Wyrm King greeted them solemnly,
I had gone out on an expedition earlier to hunt a Type 8 human expert, and from her hands, I’ve gained a precious map, which reveals the location of a Gold-Grade Treasure!
What? A Gold-Grade Treasure map?!
Hearing those words, the casual and relaxed expressions of the 4 Holy Kings immediately changed.
A Gold-Grade Treasure was something not any expert in the world could create. A Type 8 powerhouse possessing a Gold-Grade Treasure could easily decimate a Type 9 powerhouse. Thus, the news of such a treasure caused shock to the 4 Holy Kings, each of them feeling a rising greed.
Gold Wyrm Holy King, look, this is the map.
The Silver Wyrm King took out a silver cloth, as he walked towards the Gold Wyrm Holy King, as he spoke loudly,
The Green Wyrm King also knows of this map, and they had already reported to the Flame Wyrm Holy King. From what I know, they have already begun to move out.
When the Gold Wyrm Holy King heard this, his gaze narrowed as he grabbed the treasure map hastily and exclaimed,
What? The Flame Wyrm Holy King has already made his move? Damn it! We need to hurry as well!!
Within the Great Dragon Empire, there was likewise internal strife for rankings and positions. The Gold Wyrm Holy King and the Flame Wyrm Holy King had bad blood between them. If it was not for the Type 9 Emperor pressuring them, they would definitely engage in a vicious clash.
The remaining 3 Holy Kings also paid attention to the map, after all, not everyone could resist the allure of a Gold-Grade Treasure.
Right at that instant, Yue Zhong, who had been in Stealth the entire time behind the Silver Wyrm King executed his will attack that was capable of dominating even Type 9 powerhouses.
In the consciousness of the 4 Holy Kings, Yue Zhong’s intent transformed into a True-God existence, pointing out with a finger capable of suppressing them.
The 4 of them were more powerful than the Silver Wyrm King, however, since they were caught off guard, they lost their senses for that very short moment.
Yue Zhong took the chance to explode out with his strength, sending 4 powerful fists at the 4 Holy Kings.
There were automatic defenses within the possessions of the 4 Holy Kings, each of them activated and blocking in front of Yue Zhong. These were extraordinary treasures, even with the full might of a Type 8 powerhouse, it was hard to break them.
However, Yue Zhong’s God-Devil Physique was truly tyrannical, with a single fist, it caused the defenses to break apart, and the boundless strength struck the heads of the 4 Holy Kings, instantly bursting them.
In an instant, Yue Zhong’s sneak attack had successfully killed the 4 half-step Type 9 Holy Kings.
If it were a frontal clash, Yue Zhong would have to execute all his trump cards in order to defeat these 4 Holy Kings. Furthermore, it might not be a successful endeavor to kill them. However, because he sneaked up on them, he had succeeded and was able to absorb their pure and abundant life force.
Upon absorbing the life force of these 4 Holy Kings, Yue Zhong’s soul finally recovered fully and was able to evolve further.
Cai Wei stared and watched all these in stunned silence, her face turning pale, and her body trembling uncontrollably.
Yue Zhong did not bother about her reaction, instead, he turned to Silver Wyrm King and asked,
Silver Wyrm King, are you able to gather all the Holy Race members in this Gold Wyrm Kingdom?
With Yue Zhong’s present strength, it was not an issue to eliminate all the Holy Race members in the city. The only problem was that the scope of the mission was too large. If Yue Zhong were to go on a massacre, it would alert the rest and allow them to flee. It would waste time and energy just to kill a few thousand, unlike the battle at Jiao Beast City, where he had just slaughtered as he pleased.
The Silver Wyrm King responded in respect,
Master, I don’t have that ability. I can’t order the subordinates of the Gold Wyrm Holy King. They would not obey my instructions as well since I’m an outsider. I don’t have that kind of authority here.
Yue Zhong frowned,
Since that is the case, forget it. You can go and kill the Holy Race members as much as possible, I will go and take a walk in the treasury.
The Gold Wyrm King City also used technology and humans for defense. Through the surveillance cameras and computers, Yue Zhong had already obtained the location of the treasury with Bai Yi’s help.
Wait, sir!!
At this time, Cai Wei’s voice sounded. She walked over bravely, and bowed,
Sir, I know how to gather all the Holy Race members in the city. If I can help you complete this objective, I hope that sir will grant me a wish.
Yue Zhong frowned, and swept her a look,
What is that? Tell me about it first.
Wiping out the Holy Race members in the Gold Wyrm King City was just an idea that Yue Zhong had, if the condition of Cai Wei was too high, he would not be willing to waste time or energy on her.
She kneeled on the ground, begging Yue Zhong with an earnest expression,
Please allow this lowly one to serve you, Master!! I am trained in the art of tending to my owner and am considered an exemplary maidservant. I’m well-versed in all sorts of daily chores, tending to management and paperwork, culinary skills, poetry, painting, dance, singing and all sorts of entertainment skills. If you want it, I can even warm your bed for you. Please take me away and let me serve you!! I will be loyal to you forever, I’m begging you, please take me away!
Humans were lowly on this Great Dragon Planet, and danger was rife. Without any backers, one would not know when they could be eaten. Cai Wei had led such a life for so long, and she hoped to rely on another human.
Yue Zhong looked at her and spoke blandly,
Alright! If you can accomplish this for me, I will promise to take you as my maid. Get up!
Thank you, Master!!
Cai Wei got up and quickly went over to the waist of the dead Gold Wyrm Holy King, pulling out a small gold plate. She then handed it to Yue Zhong,
This is the summoning tool of the Gold Wyrm Holy King, once activated, all of the subordinates of the Gold Wyrm Holy King would gather here.
Chapter 979: Evolve: Half-Step Type 9 Realm!
Yue Zhong took up the golden plate, and with a thought, a bout of energy was sent into it.
The plate then lit up, and a strange energy wave stretched outwards in all directions.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
His Majesty summons!!
Immediately, everywhere within the Gold Wyrm King City, alarms rang out, and the commanders of the army were shocked, and quickly gathered their forces, soaring off towards the palace.
The Gold Wyrm King City was the capital of the Gold Wyrm Kingdom, and its surface area was much larger than China. The total number of Holy Race members here numbered over 40 million, and the humans were over 500 million. Just the forces alone inside the capital numbered 2 million.
The moment they received the summons, the 2 million-strong army immediately soared towards the palace.
Huge armies arrived and descended from the skies, landing in the vast palace courtyard in an orderly fashion. There was not a single hint of chaos. These were elite troops that had been trained for a long time and knew their positions.
At the same time, a number of huge battleships arrived and awaited orders from the Gold Wyrm Holy King.
Inside the palace, Cai Wei stood behind Yue Zhong, eyeing the incoming troops, and her eyes were filled with fear. The pressure of these millions of Holy Race members was too overwhelming.
However, when she saw how incomparably calm and steady Yue Zhong was, her emotions started to quieten, and it felt like even if the sky came falling down, he would be able to shoulder it. All she had to do was to trust him.
Yue Zhong was also looking at the number of troops and laughed lightly,
Very good, seems like the majority is here. Time to collect some lives!
In an instant, the vast Devil Domain appeared and spread out, enveloping the entire Gold Wyrm army. It reached over 50km, easily bringing all the soldiers within.
Within the domain, countless devilish manifestations appeared and pounced on the soldiers of the Gold Wyrm King, tearing them apart and sucking their blood essence, turning them into dried corpses.
In the skies, the battleships were also invaded by the Devil Qi, as the manifestations appeared and pounced on the warriors within, devouring them.
In just a few breaths, the 2-million strong Gold Wyrm King’s army had been devoured by the Devil Domain, left with emaciated corpses.
All the emptied battleships were then kept into Yue Zhong’s Universe Ring.
After a large portion of the army was wiped out, the Devil Qi within the domain gathered together to form a huge Devil of over 60km in height.
The Devil then opened its huge mouth, and sucked in deeply, affecting all the other Gold Wyrm King City’s soldiers that were still en route, as a terrifying whirlpool appeared in mid-air, sucking all the soldiers in.
The terrifying devil exerted that suction once, and over thousands of the Gold Wyrm City soldiers were turned into emaciated corpses that dropped out of the sky.
The entire city erupted in chaos upon seeing that massacre of soldiers, as countless humans started to flee out of the city.
Cai Wei stood one side, staring with shock at the rate of how Yue Zhong was slaughtering the Holy Race soldiers,
Strong!! He is really so strong!! I’ve managed to follow the right person!
After evolving to the peak-Type 8 realm, Yue Zhong’s strength had undergone another earthshaking change. As long as he went all out, just him alone could easily wipe out an entire race that was weaker than him. He was truly nearing the peak of strength.
Once he had wiped out over 2 million elites, Yue Zhong could sense the inner energy circulating within him increasing once more. Adding on to the life force he obtained from killing the 4 Holy Kings, he was already near the bottleneck.
Time to go!
Yue Zhong turned around and headed further into the palace.
Along the way, there were many remaining experts of the Gold Wyrm King, however, before they had the chance to act, Yue Zhong would raise his hand casually and destroy their brains with energy, their life force surging into him.
Under Bai Yi’s instructions, Yue Zhong passed through numerous alleys and came in front of the secret treasury.
In front of the treasury, there were 2 half-step Type 8 Gold Wyrm experts. As Yue Zhong arrived, they opened their eyes and stared at Yue Zhong and barked out,
Who are you, people?!
Yue Zhong had no intentions to waste his breath on them, directly pointing with his finger and two energy blades sliced their heads off,
Die!
Facing the defense-packed door, Yue Zhong just punched out at it and the explosive strength from his God-Devil Physique burst out, directly causing the door to crumple.
He then stepped into the treasury.
Within the treasury belonging to the Gold Wyrm Holy King, there were many precious stones, Mutant Beast nuclei, heavenly treasures, and all sorts of advanced warfare equipment. It was truly abundant.
Yue Zhong swept them all a glance, without much interest. They were of use to him, but not personally, as his strength would not suddenly increase by utilizing all of these.
While the treasures were abundant, it could not compare to the one in the Mech Empire. After all, one was a true Type 9 expert’s storage, while this was just a half-step Type 9 powerhouse.
Yue Zhong’s gaze swept past the treasures, when all of a sudden, he was attracted to one particular object. In the midst of all the treasures, there was a small spring of clear water. At the center, there was a plant that had 7 rainbow-colored leaves, with 3 rainbow-colored fruits.
When Yue Zhong saw the fruits, his eyes lit up,
That’s the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit! The legends say that it could only grow in the blood of a dragon True God powerhouse, and it would only produce a rare fruit every 10,000 years. There have been records in the Great God World, but none has ever been seen. If a Type 9 powerhouse were to consume one, it would nourish the body. Who would have thought that I could come across such a fruit here?!
Yue Zhong waved his hands and the energy surrounding him grabbed out at all the treasures, sweeping them all into his Universe Ring, emptying the entire treasury.
It’s missing one, seems like the Gold Wyrm Holy King consumed one.
Yue Zhong walked up to the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit, only to discover one obvious hole, evidently, one of the fruits had been taken.
Yue Zhong reached out and plucked all 3, before throwing them into his mouth. He chewed awhile and swallowed it.
The moment those 3 fruits entered his abdomen, they turned into a number of rainbow-colored dragon-shaped energy beams that rushed through his body.
There was a loud crack, and his body almost split apart, as gold blood started to flow out of him, turning him entire golden.
The medicinal properties of the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit were extremely strong, even the Gold Wyrm Holy King needed a long time to fully digest and refine a single fruit. If an ordinary person were to consume one, he or she would be burnt alive by the power of the fruit.
The energy from the 3 fruits continued to surge through his body, breaking it apart and nourishing it further, making him even stronger.
The accumulated life force within him was also ignited by the commotion, and charged right through his consciousness, turned into golden Yuan Qi by his God-Devil Nucleus, merging with the energy of the Rainbow Dragon-blood Fruit, entering his bones.
Under the assault of the yuan qi, Yue Zhong’s bones were continuously evolving, turning into indestructible god-like bones.
The process took an entire day and night.
I’ve finally reached the half-step Type 9 realm!!
Yue Zhong opened his eyes, as 2 sacred light shot out. He could sense that his body had been strengthened more than dozens of times. He had finally broken through to the half-step Type 9 stage. As long as he comprehended spatial laws and accumulated enough strength, he would be able to reach the Type 9 stage, lording over those of the same class, and becoming a true peak expert.
Yue Zhong turned to look and saw Cai Wei kneeling beside him, holding a wet towel and wiping his face for him.
Chapter 980: Controlling the Gold Wyrm King City!
Cai Wei saw Yue Zhong open his eyes, and could not help but exclaim with joy,
Master, you’re awake! That’s great!!
Yue Zhong was her current backer, if he were to die, her future would be bleak. That was why when she saw Yue Zhong’s body suddenly breaking down, and golden blood flowing everywhere, she had been terrified.
During his coma, Cai Wei had been taking care of him.
After reaching the peak-Type 8 realm, his God-Devil Physique was incredibly tough. Few could actually hurt him. Furthermore, there was the loyal puppet Silver Wyrm King watching over him, even if Cai Wei, with her Type 2 realm, wanted to hurt him, she would definitely die horribly.
Furthermore, due to her weak strength, even if Yue Zhong were to let her hack him, she would not succeed.
You’re decent. Cai Wei, I will give you control over a unit, you take them and go wipe out all the Holy Race members in the city while maintaining peace and order for the humans.
With a wave of his hands, an entire fleet of Mechs appeared, filling up the armory.
When Cai Wei heard those words, she panicked, and hastily declined,
Master, I! I can’t!! I don’t have that sort of experience!
Yue Zhong’s gaze narrowed, as he stared at her and spoke,
No! If I say you can, you can. I’m handing you control over these Mechs to kill those Holy Race warriors. All you have to do is to give the command. Maintain order, and eliminate anyone who disobeys or go against us. I have things to do, when I’m done, I will come back for you. This unit is enough to ensure your safety.
The main force of the Gold Wyrm Holy King had already been slaughtered by Yue Zhong. Although there were a number of remaining Gold Wyrms, they were not gathered or orderly, thus, 200,000 Mechs were enough to wipe them out.
The number of Mutant Beast nuclei he obtained from this city was also enough to sustain such an operation.
Cai Wei felt the resoluteness of Yue Zhong, and took a look at the awe-inspiring Mechs, thus, gritting her teeth to reply,
Yes!!
Yue Zhong ordered coldly,
I hope that when I’m back, all those who had hunted humans would be turned into corpses as well.
When Cai Wei heard that, she exclaimed out of shock,
Master, if that’s the case, there would be at least ten million guilty humans!! Are you sure?!
The Gold Wyrm King City was the imperial city of the Gold Wyrm King, thus, most of the humans here were loyal dogs, and had participated in the hunting and capturing of their own kind. If Yue Zhong insisted on punishing them, over ten million people would be put to death.
Yue Zhong’s gaze narrowed,
Those inhumane bastards do not deserve to live! Carry out my order!
Cai Wei could only nod, and reply respectfully,
Yes!
After handing the city to Cai Wei and the 200,000 Mechs, Yue Zhong disappeared from the spot.
The moment he disappeared, the Mechs immediately launched into combat, forming various units and slaughtered their way through the city, eliminating any Gold Wyrm on sight.
Many of the Holy Races were heavily injured and killed without mercy, while their friends tried to flee.
Inside a small alleyway, a dozen particle cannon-wielding Mechs were patrolling. Suddenly, they adjusted their aims and fired at a small house.
A number of beams blasted into the room, and the 6 Gold Wyrm experts who were laying in the ambush were instantly punctured full of holes.
The sentient Mechs were equipped with the latest biological scanners, and no matter where the Gold Wyrms hid, they would be taken out easily.
There were a number of brave and courageous Gold Wyrm warriors who tried to attack the Mech army head-on. However, before they could even turn around or raise their weapons, they would be struck dead.
Compared to biological life forms, these sentient Mechs had an advantage, in the sense that, as long as there was enough power from the Mutant Beast nuclei, they could fight forever, without getting tired, and were truly formidable soldiers.
Of the 200,000-strong army, every 5,00 Mechs would form one unit, dispersing in 400 different directions, and slaughtering the Holy Race members inside the Gold Wyrm King City. Every second, the death toll was rising, as screams and roars of misery and anguish rang throughout the city.
Sector C765 has been cleared! The 345th unit is heading towards Sector C767, estimated time for clearing: 30 minutes.
Sector C723 has been cleared! 312th unit is heading towards Sector C728, estimated time for clearing: 30 minutes.
…
Cai Wei sat in a makeshift command post, as a huge display screen was in front of her, giving her full view of the 400 units massacring the Holy Race members, advancing through the city.
She thought excitedly,
So strong!! This army is really invincible. The Holy Race cannot even fight back! Unbelievable! It seems like it’s not impossible to wipe out all the Holy Race members from the Gold Wyrm King City!
Initially, Cai Wei was worried that she had no experience in commanding, even if she was given a huge army, she would not be able to utilize, but now, her worries were all gone.
A large human unit appeared in Sector B436, their commander is Marquis An Jie. These are the hunting party members. 211th Unit will proceed to wipe them out. Please authorize mission!
Right at this time, there was a notification from the communicator.
Hearing this, Cai Wei finally understood why Yue Zhong handed her such authority, it was for her to determine if the humans should be killed or spared.
Yue Zhong was not too sure about the situation here, thus, he could only rely on Cai Wei’s discernment and judgment.
Cai Wei’s thoughts flashed to this point, and she gritted her teeth to pass the command,
Mission authorized, clean them up!’
Marquis An Jie was one of the most loyal dogs of the Holy Race within the Gold Wyrm King City, and the number of fellow humans that had died at his hands numbered over thousands. Even Cai Wei’s family had been broken apart due to him, and she was rounded up and presented to the Gold Wyrm Holy King.
After receiving Cai Wei’s order, 5,000 Mechs immediately adjusted their directions and headed towards a particularly lavish mansion to attack it.
Under the numerous beams, the manor of Marquis An Jie was torn apart, and the thousand people inside were shredded apart.
With the frenzied assault of the Mechs, the Gold Wyrm Race, as well as their human-hunting parties, were all cleansed.
The entire city was thrown into panic and fear, while Cai Wei took the chance to announce the fall of the Gold Wyrm King rule, and established the new human government.
Together with the might of the 200,000 Mechs, the rest of the humans maintained their silence and watched as Cai Wei pushed on ahead.
The new human government did not see many newcomers interested in joining. Many were still fearful that the moment they joined when the rest of the Holy Race were to get wind, they would be punished alongside.
However, there were many humans who had deep hatred against the Holy Race as well, many of them living in fear of being food for the Holy Race, or watched their loved ones being captured to be devoured. These people joined and swiftly help build up the new government, controlling and maintaining peace and order.
The Great Dragon Holyland was the Imperial Capital of the Great Dragon Empire and their core strength.
It occupied a huge area and was even larger than Russia on Earth. There were many floating mechanical fortresses in the skies above the Holyland.
30 battleships continued to orbit and patrol around the Great Dragon Holyland.
Within the Holyland, all the elites of the Great Dragon Empire were gathered. The numbers of the Type 7 powerhouses alone numbered more than a million.
At the same time, other than the Holy Race, there were a few other races including humans, and of these foreign races, the males were handsome, the ladies beautiful. Those who were ugly or ordinary would have been put to death or devoured by the Holy Race.
As for the good-looking ones, they were the toys of the Holy Race. The Wyrm Race were incredibly lustful in nature, even the females had droves of good-looking males serving them. After they were done, they would then rip the throats of the human males apart and devour them. It was extremely gruesome.
At the center of the Holyland, there was a huge crystal island of 900 sq km, and beneath it, one could see many spiritual dragon veins.
The amount of energy accumulated around those veins could surpass even the mutating Earth. As these dragon veins supported the palace, the amount of energy was simply too abundant, as all sorts of strange and rare flowers and plants grew. It was a cultivation heaven for anyone.
At the center of the floating crystal island was a scarlet crystal palace of about 100m in height. This belonged to the foremost expert of the Great Dragon Empire, which was the Type 9 Emperor. Only he had the qualifications to reside over such a lavish and spiritual resource.
