The newly established Yan Dynasty showed unparalleled mobility. Ever since Chen Yuan shouted the slogan of going south to defeat the demons in the Jinluan Palace that day, the entire court quickly moved into action.
A steady stream of resources began to gradually flow into Zhennanguan.
Because this time to annihilate the demon clan, it is not just about simply killing the demon emperor and several demon gods and then giving up. At the same time, it is also necessary to include southern Xinjiang into the territory.
Enslaved the demon clan and surrendered to the human race from then on.
Therefore, a large amount of resources is extremely necessary.
However, soldiers and horses are not needed for the time being, because the previously set goal is to destroy the demon clan. As early as when he was still retreating in Japan, Zhennanguan already had an army of no less than a million gathered.
This battle was the first battle after the founding of the Yan Dynasty. Naturally, it could not be done hastily. As an emperor, Chen Yuan issued an imperial edict and summoned Zuo Guoshi Moruo and Taishi Lao Tianshi to accompany him.
There are also Jiang He, Chu Changfeng, and many other pillar countries gathered together. No matter at what level, they far exceed the strength of the demon clan.
And after the news of his personal expedition to the south to defeat demons spread to the world, it also caused a huge shock, although many people had already anticipated this day and were even preparing for it.
Because of missing this battle, the world will fall into peace in the foreseeable years. In other words, this battle is the last opportunity to gain military glory, and there will basically be no chance in the future.
But no one expected that Dayan would act so resolutely. Just a few days after the founding of the country, he announced that the world would be rid of demons. It was obvious that this was something that had been prepared for a long time.
Many people regret this, because if this is the case, they will obviously not get any opportunities.
Not to mention the various news spread from the outside world, Chen Yuan has already made preparations and can't wait to completely pacify Southern Xinjiang. After that, it will be a long period of recuperation.
Until... the fairyland comes!
...
On the city wall of Zhennan Pass, Zhennan King Chu Changfeng wore a gilt armor and was talking with Moro and others.
"Senior, when will His Majesty come?"
Chu Changfeng asked casually.
A full seven days have passed since the Dayan Dynasty spread its message to the world. A large number of resources are being supplied to Zhennanguan. At the same time, Moro, Lao Tianshi, Ling Xu, Tianxu, Jiang He, and Su Minglao Zudu has already arrived at Zhennanguan.
But the most crucial person, Emperor Dayan Shengwu, has not made any move yet, which inevitably leads to some speculations.
"Your Majesty will come on his own, don't worry." Moro smiled lightly. Chen Yuan's strength now far exceeded him, and he could not detect Chen Yuan's traces.
But he felt that it was almost coming.
After all, before they set off, Chen Yuan told them that he would come when everyone gathered together.
"King Zhennan, don't be anxious." Jiang He smiled calmly. Now that Yan has established a country, although they are informal in private, they basically refer to each other's official positions.
At the same time, Chen Yuan's title naturally changed to 'Your Majesty'.
"Haha, I'm not in a hurry, I'm just afraid that the demon clan will get the news and retreat faster, which will cause a lot of trouble in the future."
Since taking charge of Zhennanguan, he has been paying attention to the movements of the demon clan, and is always thinking about how to counterattack and wash away the previous humiliation.
Of course, he is not without selfish motives.
The territories guarded by the remaining kings are now basically free of foreign enemies. Only the demon clan exists outside his Zhennan Pass, and he wants to accumulate some merits for the future.
After all, his background is still too little. Wei Wuque has the legacy of the former Liang King Wei Jinfeng, Pingxi King has the achievements of the Northern Expedition on the Grassland, and is related to Chen Yuan.
The King of East China Sea is not only a Six Realm Immortal, but also has the merit of resisting the northern barbarians in a deadly battle. He is the only one who has basically stayed here all the time except for the human-monster war.
I want to gain some achievements as the foundation of my career.
"This time, Your Majesty will personally conquer the demon clan in the Central Plains for thousands of years. I am afraid that from now on, I will never be able to raise my head again." Demonic Saint Ancestor Su Ming clasped his hands.
Looking in the distance towards southern Xinjiang, he let out a sigh.
Judging from some of Chen Yuan's methods on the grasslands, the Western Regions, and Japan, the purpose of this battle is definitely to completely shatter the demon clan's spine and make it impossible to stand up again.
Much more cruel than the original Chu Taizu.
"It is a good thing for our Central Plains human race." Taoist Tianxu chuckled, after Chen Yuan fulfilled his promise and made Taixu Immortal Palace a state religion.
He himself has no obsession and is already vaguely close to touching the level of rules.
This time, he took the initiative to fight the demon, hoping that in this final battle, he could break this shackles and enter the semi-immortal realm.
"haha, yes."
Zhao Danqing also nodded.
Only Jishi Bodhisattva looked a little sad. After the news of Chen Yuan's demon-killing spread to the Western Regions, he quickly rushed to Zhennanguan. He did not want to make any meritorious deeds.
But I hope that Chen Yuan will not be too cruel and leave a way for the demon clan to survive.
After all, no matter how he became a monk and became the Lingshan Bodhisattva, he was still from the demon clan. He hoped to leave some inheritance to the demon clan and not to cut it off.
"this..."
Taoist Lingxu was about to speak when suddenly, everyone present, including him, felt a hint of terrifying power coming towards the shroud.
Between heaven and earth, Dayan's national destiny gathered into the sea, and a young man wearing a black dragon robe and a crown of sulfur beads slowly appeared and stepped down step by step.
Chen Yuan....here he comes!
"See Your Majesty."
"See Your Majesty!"
"See..."
Everyone's expressions became solemn at the same time, and they raised their hands and bowed to this young man who exuded huge pressure.
"Everyone is safe." Chen Yuan nodded slightly, then looked at Zhennan King Chu Changfeng and said in a deep voice:
"Blow the drums and gather the troops!"
"According to the order!"
Chu Changfeng bowed and quickly gave instructions, and several warriors immediately started beating the drums.
"winter..."
"winter..."
"winter...."
Nine drums sounded in succession, and all the soldiers in Zhennan Pass quickly understood and, like a natural reaction, quickly began to leave the city and began to assemble in the huge open space outside the city.
With such a large number, even the assembly took a long time. It took a full two hours before they were successfully assembled and stood neatly in formation.
When Chen Yuan saw such powerful elite soldiers, he also felt heroic out of thin air. No wonder many people always like to do this kind of thing.
It is indeed refreshing.
When Chen Yuan stepped into the sky step by step, dozens of nearly a million elites shouted in unison:
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"For hundreds of years, the demon clan in southern Xinjiang has been a serious problem for the human race in the Central Plains. They regard our people as blood food, so we can only set up Zhennan Pass here to resist the demon clan.
But now, the offensive and defensive forces are different. I have swept across the Central Plains and wiped out several areas in the northwest. Now in front of my Dayan, the only opponent left is the demon clan. What do you think should be done? "
The thunderous sound accurately resounded in everyone's ears, making them extremely excited.
"Destroy the demon! Defeat the demon! Defeat the demon!"
"Yes, it's time to defeat the demons and create eternal peace for our Central Plains human race."
"Die for Your Majesty, die for Dayan!"
"Die for Your Majesty, die for Dayan!"
"Die for Your Majesty, die for Dayan!"
"Send troops, go south!"
Chen Yuan waved his hand, and driven by the sound of drums, the rear team turned to the front team and began to rush towards the southern border. There were many farmers accompanying him to clear the way.
After all, southern Xinjiang is mountainous and has almost no roads.
Fortunately, the demon clan had gathered several times before and had already cleared a large area of flat land. Otherwise, they would have been able to only implement decapitation tactics and not be able to completely destroy the demon clan.
...
With hundreds of thousands of civilians, coupled with martial arts masters who have broken mountains and cracked the earth, leading the way for the army, overall, it is quite stable. Although the speed is not fast, Chen Yuan is not prepared to pursue excessive speed.
This battle breaks the ridge of the entire demon clan, not just a few demon gods.
Just push it across.
Of course, such a smooth speed is also inseparable from Chu Changfeng's previous preparations. For example, he has already planned the route and just keeps climbing mountains along the way.
Among them, the one with the greatest effect is the giant turtle in Biyou Palace. Its huge size also gives him extremely powerful power.
In the next few months, the Yan army marched thousands of miles, making many preparations along the way. They felled mountains, felled trees, burned forests, and destroyed everything in sight.
Chen Yuan actually had another very important thing to do during this battle, which was to expand tens of thousands of miles of territory for the people of the Central Plains and create several more southern and Shu states, so as to gradually allow the human race to thrive.
Without the oppression of war, the population would explode very quickly. If there were not enough territory and resources to feed these people, they would be forced to rebel.
Therefore, from now on, he must make all preparations.
The deserts of the Western Region, the Northern Barbarian Grasslands, and the East China Sea are all unsuitable for human habitation. Only the vast land of the Southern Border is suitable, provided that those mountains are leveled.
The poisonous miasma is removed, the forests are burned down, and a habitable place is artificially created.
...
Southern Xinjiang, somewhere.
Chen Yuan, dressed in a black dragon robe, slowly appeared in the void, with a faint smile on his lips. He and Moro and others were the first to clear the way, looking for traces of the demon clan.
After all, if they had waited for the slow progress of the army, the demon clan would have disappeared long ago.
Beheading must be done. This is what Moro, Lao Tianshi, and Ancestor Su Ming did. They looked for traces of the demon gods and annihilated them in one fell swoop before letting the army come in.
In this way, you can avoid killing evil and affecting your practice.
As for their departure, only a few people including Chu Changfeng, Jiang He, and others knew about it. Ordinary soldiers and warriors probably still thought that their Shengwu Emperor was in charge of the center.
Compared with Moro and the others, Chen Yuan's route was different from theirs, because he still had one very important thing to do, which was to find traces of the Burning Sky Demon Emperor.
Kill him!
Long before, he had left some means to be able to faintly sense where his traces were, just to prepare for now.
He is not important, but his luck is still very important to Chen Yuan.
And here is where he feels the strongest.
The Burning Sky Demon Emperor must be hiding in this secret realm in the void.
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, and with a thought, the powerful power of rules quickly surged out, sweeping across the world. After a moment, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes:
"Got you!"
.....
Within the realm, endless fire crows are born and destroyed, turning into flames, endlessly growing.
This is a world with only flames, it is the Burning Sky Demon Realm. After the battle in the starry sky, the Burning Sky Demon Emperor returned to his lair, preparing to hide him for a thousand years.
Let’s recover from our injuries first.
Chen Yuan is not going to fight again. He is no match for him. If he had gathered the luck of the demon clan in his heyday, he might still have a chance of winning. Unfortunately, who made him underestimate the enemy?
He went to find Chen Yuan alone, but he was seriously injured. With his current strength, even if he gathered the luck of the demon clan, he could not return to the combat power of his heyday.
It is even more nonsense to suppress and kill Chen Yuan.
Of course, you can't blame him for this. Who would have thought that a strong demon emperor at the level of a heavenly immortal could not help a human immortal? It is completely impossible to say it.
However, no matter how impossible it is, the facts are still in front of us after all.
In the faint flames, a figure slowly condensed, with a strange face and deep eyes. It was the Burning Sky Demon Emperor. He opened his eyes and frowned.
In the process of recovery, for some reason, he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart, as if some danger was approaching.
Before this, he might not have taken it to heart, but it had only been just over half a year since the previous battle, so he couldn't help but be nervous.
"Could it be that... Chen Yuan is targeting this emperor?"
Burning Sky Demon Emperor murmured to himself, his eyes serious.
After returning to the Burning Sky Demon Realm, he lost contact with the outside world and had no idea what was happening outside. He only wanted to recover from his injuries.
Therefore, it is not clear at all that Chen Yuan has led the human army to southern Xinjiang, especially since he was the first to target him.
"I'm afraid he can't find this emperor." He still has some confidence in the Burning Sky Demon Realm, unless Chen Yuan searches for it inch by inch in the southern border with his spiritual will.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to find.
Otherwise, the original Demon Temple would not have been delayed for so long because of this.
But even though he thought so, he still felt a little uneasy. At his level, 'whim' was already a very important means of spying.
"perhaps..."
Before the Burning Demon Emperor could finish his words, suddenly, the entire secret realm rumbled, as if someone was bombarding him, and his expression also changed instantly.
"not good!"
However, Chen Yuan had found the trace and he could not react at all. A huge hole was blasted out of the fiery red sky, and a figure slowly condensed.
It was Chen Yuan. He felt the atmosphere around him and chuckled:
"Fengtian, I... found you!"
....
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could you find the Burning Sky Demon Realm!" Burning Sky Demon Emperor condensed his figure, staring at Chen Yuan in front of him with solemn eyes that even hinted at fear.
How can this be!
He has hidden the Burning Sky Demon Realm, making it impossible for him to be detected.
"I... am omnipotent!"
Looking at the frightened Burning Demon Emperor, Chen Yuan smiled faintly. Not only was he fighting against the demon clan, but he was also fighting against the demon emperor who had nearly killed him before.
Previously in the starry sky, it was the Burning Sky Demon Emperor's best and last chance to kill him. After he missed that time, it was time for him to take revenge.
"I...are you proclaimed emperor?"
Burning Sky Demon Emperor stared at Chen Yuan closely, and his heart sank.
With the added fortune of the country and his previous fighting strength, if he wanted to fight with him in his current severely injured state, not to mention the chance of winning, even the chance of survival was not high.
"Yes, after the battle with you in the starry sky, I proclaimed myself emperor not long ago. The first thing I did when I became emperor was to go south to defeat the demons and look for traces of you."
"You... really want to fight this emperor to the death. If you retreat now, I can promise that you will not leave the Demon Realm within a thousand years and will never become your opponent."
Burning Sky Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Then how to settle the previous accounts? I have always destroyed my entire family if someone offends me." Chen Yuan said.
"You..." Burning Sky Demon Emperor's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was silent for a moment before continuing:
"Okay, I am willing to surrender to you and drive you from now on. Moreover, I can also help you pacify the demon clan and help you gather your true destiny in the world.
how? "
"No matter what, in addition to killing you, I also want to eliminate the monster clan as a big problem. You don't need to surrender."
"You want to destroy the demon clan?" Burning Sky Demon Emperor was stunned and stared at Chen Yuan.
"good."
"Hmph, the existence of the human and demon clans in the world is based on the principle of one yin and one yang, which coincides with the supreme principle of heaven. Even the Emperor Wu never did such a thing.
You...this is disobedience to heaven. "
Burning Sky Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.
"I have my own way, how can you understand it?"
Chen Yuan said in a condensed voice.
"Do you really think that after enduring the previous battle, I have no strength to fight? Burning the remaining origins and being in the demon realm, my power is beyond your imagination.
If you kill this emperor, you...will be seriously injured even if you don't die. Why bother? Moreover, the Immortal Realm is coming soon. If you have my help, you may not have no chance of winning in the future. "
Unless absolutely necessary, the Burning Sky Demon Emperor is not willing to really fight for his life. If he is really so strong, he will not retreat again and again in the face of the Immortal Realm.
"You don't need to worry about things in the Immortal Realm. I know that this secret realm is closely related to you, and it should be the one you opened up, but I still came. Why do you think it is?"
Chen Yuan said casually.
"You... are so conceited!"
"This is confidence!"
Burning Sky Demon Emperor stared at Chen Yuan, took a deep breath, and understood that there was nothing he could do. With a thought, the endless fire crows turned into flames, poured into his body, and turned into nutrients.
In a short period of time, only in this way can he have the strength to fight Chen Yuan.
"Okay, then I will test your confidence!"
"Let's do it."
Chen Yuan was indifferent to the behavior of the Burning Sky Demon Emperor.
In just a short moment, the Burning Sky Demon Emperor devoured all the fire crows in the Demon Realm. The momentum around him was rising steadily, and the compressed void was distorted. In fact, the surrounding realms were condensing towards him.
Fight to the death!
