Chapter 102: Revival of All Things!
The Land of War had only appeared in the past ten years.
This was the place where humans and demons fought the most. In the beginning, it was the Yufu Kingdom who did not stop the demons. After a large number of demons surged in, human martial artists worked hard to control them in the Land of War.
This way, most of the commoners would not be troubled by the demons. However, the size of the Land of War was constantly expanding.
Originally, the Land of War was only within a hundred miles, but it kept getting worse. This area kept expanding to five hundred miles, eight hundred miles, and even to the current one thousand miles.
Moreover, there was no sign of complete control yet. In fact, it was still expanding. Perhaps, the Land of War might become one thousand and five hundred miles around the catacomb.
Although the Northern Kingdom was actively controlling the situation and sending out a large number of martial artists to deal with the demons that came out of the catacombs with rewards to encourage them, the effect was not very obvious.
In front of the demons, human martial artists were really too small. They were almost in a one-sided situation. The demons were getting stronger and stronger, but human martial artists’ improvement was very slow. Human martial artists rarely won in the Land of War.
The demons were too powerful, and the human martial artists almost lost their confidence. However, the news that North Star and the others brought back made all the martial artists in the Land of War excited!
Everyone had a goal, and that was Li Yuanqing, a man called Li Yuanqing!
No one in the Land of War would know that Li Yuanqing was the most mysterious and most powerful guardian of the Northern Kingdom. Those martial artists only knew that the young Li Yuanqing had suddenly barged in.
Others could not tell his strength. He was only a human martial artist, but when those demons who escaped from the catacombs heard his name, they were almost terrified.
Could human martial artists be this powerful?
Those demons that were getting stronger and stronger, each and every one of them at the daily-level, ordinary-level and nightmare-level, were not invincible. They also had someone that they were afraid of.
Li Yuanqing’s name spread throughout the Land of War.
While all the martial artists were still using the Tripart.i.te Formation and using the advantage of numbers to set up an array to deal with those daily-level demons, Li Yuanqing had already made the nightmare-level demons flee.
This greatly encouraged the martial artists in the Land of War. There were martial artists who followed and counterattack those demons. This made the martial artists who were originally in despair suddenly have confidence and a goal.
No matter how difficult it was to deal with demons, it seemed to be much easier as long as they had a goal and confidence.
Li Yuanqing separated from North Star. Although North Star had been sticking to him and asking him why those demons were afraid of him, whether he had the strength of second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm. This was because there were some Martial Saints who had suddenly appeared in the entire Northern Kingdom. Everyone knew the names of those experts.
The strongest expert that North Star could think of was only at the second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm. He could not imagine that Li Yuanqing was actually about to advance to the eighth-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm.
“When you chase those demons back to the catacombs, they will also be afraid of you. The Northern Kingdom shouldn’t have a Land of War. A place like this should appear in the catacombs. The Northern Kingdom can use the catacombs as a training ground…”
Li Yuanqing was speechless at the strength of North Star and Black Iron. They were too weak.
However, when these people really faced a powerful enemy, they showed their unity. They were even willing to die to delay the enemy and let their companions report back. This still surprised Li Yuanqing.
He did not expect these people to be so determined.
They were just ordinary people, but it was very rare for them to be able to do this at a critical moment!
Therefore, Li Yuanqing casually gave these martial artists some pointers to build up their confidence. He wanted to let them know that martial artists were still the strongest in the mortal world. Those demons were not invincible. As long as they found a weakness, it would be very easy to deal with them.
One day, the Northern Kingdom would let the Land of War appear in the catacombs, not in the human world. If one wanted to practice, they could go to the catacombs to practice, not in the Land of War in the human world.
In the following days, Li Yuanqing stayed in this Land of War. Sometimes, he would sign in and encounter some demons that had escaped. However, he quickly killed all of them.
As time pa.s.sed, the chaotic battlefield that was gradually spreading out began to be controlled within a thousand miles. It did not continue to worsen. This was a considerable improvement for the Northern Kingdom.
The story of Li Yuanqing scaring the demons away was praised by many people. It gave these people endless courage, and the human martial artists were also proud of Li Yuanqing.
However, many people did not know that Li Yuanqing was actually the mysterious guardian of the Northern Kingdom that was respected by countless people.
In everyone’s eyes, the guardian of the Northern Kingdom was a high and mighty existence that made people feel that he was incomparably powerful. No one would have thought that he would one day use his real name to make a trip to the Land of War.
Li Yuanqing had been paying attention to the changes in the sky these few days. A new rain of blood was about to arrive. This time, he did not return to the Wilderness Valley. Instead, he found a small courtyard to stay in.
There were three wooden houses in this small courtyard. It was unknown if the original owner had died or moved away, leaving behind the wooden houses that looked almost new. There were actually many other houses around this wooden house.
This should have been a village in the past, but because of the catacombs, almost everyone in these villages had left.
Then, this place became a Land of War. Countless martial artists shuttled through here. Sometimes, when they encountered uninhabited wooden houses and villages, they would be used by martial artists to rest. Therefore, although there were not many martial artists like Li Yuanqing who lived alone, it was not rare.
The small wooden house was surrounded by mountains and slopes. There were many wild vegetables on the mountain during this season. Li Yuanqing would sometimes go to the mountain to pick some wild vegetables. Although he no longer needed to eat, he still liked to eat.
In particular, some wild vegetables were similar to those in his previous life. For example, the appearance and taste of wild onions are very similar. Therefore, when Li Yuanqing was free, he liked to dig for wild onions and come back to stir some eggs with it before frying them. The taste made him miss his previous life.
Although there were births and deaths in that world, and the lifespan of people with air pollution was not long, there were cell phones and all kinds of entertainment. Even an ordinary person would live a more comfortable life than him, the former Crown Prince, when they had money.
At the very least, he would not have so many scruples and rights to exchange for the freedom of marriage. Furthermore, his life could be guaranteed. It would not be like this world where he had lived carefully in the past few decades. He was afraid that he would lose his life if he was not careful.
This was because there were too many martial artists and vicious beasts in this world. The chances of death were too high without absolute strength. Li Yuanqing had finally been reborn and was not willing to die easily again.
That was why he had signed in in the Wilderness Valley. Then, he would go out once or twice occasionally. He was also abnormally cautious. Only when he felt that there was almost no opponent did he walk around.
From the Grotto-Heaven Realm to the Spirit Transformation Realm was a huge chasm for Li Yuanqing. If he wanted to cross it in one go, it was best to have an opportunity. The third blood rain was the best opportunity.
The sky was darkening!
There was no sun for several days in a row, and the sky was extremely dark. This continued until the evening of the fifth day. Li Yuanqing felt a violent aura begin to spread in the air.
The rain finally fell. He walked out of the house and sat on a stone slab on the ground. He reached out and felt the raindrops falling from the sky. When the rain fell into his palm, the water droplets revealed a faint color of blood. They quickly fused into his palm and disappeared.
That blood rain was absorbed by Li Yuanqing’s body.
Li Yuanqing did not block it at all as the rain of blood became heavier. He allowed the raindrops to hit his body continuously. Then, more and more raindrops fell, more and more violently, making his body feel like it was being washed.
Moreover, he felt that his bones, flesh, and blood had been nourished. It was like a piece of dry land that had suddenly been nourished by the spring rain. Moreover, his body was crazily absorbing the spiritual energy in the air. The spiritual energy was hidden in the blood rain and was abnormally dense.
In the Land of War, there were martial artists patrolling outside who had also encountered this rain of blood. They wanted to find a place to hide, but it was too empty outside. They could not find a place to hide at all.
They could only stagger forward in the rain of blood. However, someone quickly noticed the abnormality in their bodies and began to sit down excitedly. They were unwilling to move forward anymore.
Meanwhile, the trees and gra.s.s on this land were also crazily absorbing the water. Even the ants and insects hiding under the ground were running towards the ground crazily, beginning to enjoy the feast brought by the blood rain.
The area covered by this blood rain was especially large, almost covering the entire land of the Northern Kingdom.
In the hinterlands of the Wilderness, the roars of vicious beasts resounded throughout the world. The entire Wilderness was in an uproar. Countless vicious beasts ran out from their hiding places and greedily absorbed the gifts from the world.
This blood rain came at the right time.
The little Ba-Serpent cheered and kept rolling in the sky. A phenomenon appeared in the sky. The sunless sky was blood red. All the vicious beasts welcomed the best era of the Wilderness in this rain of blood.
The trees that were originally only dozens of meters tall grew at a visible speed under the rain of blood. Soon, they were more than a hundred meters tall.
The green gra.s.s was originally at most a foot tall, but under the nourishment of the rain of blood, it quickly grew taller and taller. It was so tall that it almost covered the ground. It was even taller than a person and was two to three meters tall. The edges of the gra.s.s became like sharp swords that could easily cut through a person’s blood vessels.
There were originally some stones of various colors buried in the mountain range. As the rain of blood nourished the stones, they quickly changed.
Some of the stones began to become warm and l.u.s.trous, as if they had a life of their own. They began to desperately absorb the spiritual energy in the air and cover themselves with it.
There were also some stones that had been soaked in the rain of blood over and over again. Those stones began to look different. Even though some of them did not have any spiritual energy, they were especially beautiful. They were l.u.s.trous and shiny, so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off them.
On the Imperial City’s side, a rain of blood also began to fall. This was the third rain of blood in the Imperial City of the Northern Kingdom. The citizens of the entire city were boiling with excitement. No one knew better than them what a rain of blood represented.
Some martial artists directly rushed from level seven to the Martial Saint realm because of the previous two rains of blood. A rain of blood was equivalent to decades of cultivation. Moreover, even decades of cultivation in the past might not be enough to become a Martial Saint.
All of this was the power of the rain of blood filled with spiritual energy.
The martial artists in the Imperial City all rushed out of their houses. They allowed the rain of blood to pour on them in the most s.p.a.cious place. Some were meditating, some were running wildly, and some were laughing.
The rain of blood landed on the city wall of the Imperial City and flowed from the drainage ditch on the city wall to the moat. Countless fish jumped up from the moat and began to desperately devour the diluted rain of blood.
Then, the fish that devoured the blood rain also began to change.
The color of some fish began to change, some fish began to grow crazily, and some fish began to mutate. All of this was because of the rain of blood, bringing about huge changes that could be seen with the naked eye.
In the Imperial Palace, Zhaoyang arrived at the tallest building in the Imperial City, the Full Moon Tower. The moment the rain of blood fell, she sat on the open-air platform of the Full Moon Tower.
At first, the rain of blood only wet her clothes, but it became heavier and heavier. The bean-sized raindrops fell to the ground, and Zhaoyang was overjoyed. What her brother said was true.
The rain of blood could improve a person’s physique. Cultivating in the rain of blood was shockingly fast. This was the best time to break through.
Charge! She wanted to break through to the second-grade Grotto-Heaven Realm! She had become the strongest woman in the history of the Northern Kingdom.
In the Wilderness Valley, Hu Jiujiu and Cow, had also found the best place to devour the rich spiritual energy in the air. No one moved or was distracted. Nothing was important now. Cultivation was the most important thing. Especially Hu Jiujiu, who was desperately absorbing spiritual energy to heal her wounds.
The rain of blood continued for seven days and seven nights. Many people could not cultivate in the rain of blood after the second day. This was because their bodies felt like they were about to explode. There was no way for them to be washed by the rain of blood endlessly.
Zhaoyang could no longer continue on the third day of the rain of blood. She felt that her entire body had reached its limit and could only hide in the Full Moon Tower.
It was already very rare for someone like Zhaoyang to last for three days because most people only lasted for one or two days.
However, Li Yuanqing had been absorbing the spiritual energy in the air with all his might from the beginning of the rain until the last drop of blood rain fell on him.
Until the weather cleared up after seven days.
All things are revived!
