Free Web NovelChapter 1833: Chapter 869: Demon Slaying! Fen Tian! (Part 2)
Between heaven and earth, the national fortune of Great Yan gathered into a sea. A young man dressed in a black dragon robe and crowned with a sulfur pearl diadem slowly materialized, stepping down one step at a time.
Chen Yuan... has arrived!
"Hail to Your Majesty."
"Hail to Your Majesty!"
"Hail..."
Everyone’s expressions turned solemn as they raised their hands towards the young man exuding enormous pressure and bowed in respect.
"You may rise," Chen Yuan nodded slightly and then turned to Prince Zhen Nan, Chu Changfeng, and said in a deep voice:
"Beat the drums, assemble the troops!"
"As you command!"
Chu Changfeng bowed and quickly gave the order, and several powerful men immediately began to beat the drums.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Nine drumbeats rang out successively, and all the soldiers within Zhen Nan Pass quickly understood, as if it were a natural reaction, and began to march out of the city, assembling in an enormous open space outside.
Despite the large number, assembling took a long time. It took a full two hours before they were successfully assembled and stood in neat formation.
Watching these powerful and elite soldiers, Chen Yuan felt a surge of pride born from thin air, no wonder many people always enjoyed doing things like this.
Indeed, it’s exhilarating.
As Chen Yuan stepped into the air, the tens of nearly a million elite soldiers shouted in unison:
"Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
"For hundreds of years, the Southern Border demon clan has always been a great menace to our Central Plains Human Race, treating our humans as blood food, forcing us to establish Zhen Nan Pass to resist them.
But now, the tides of attack and defense have shifted. I have swept across the Central Plains and pacified the Northwest regions. Now, before our Great Yan, there remains only the demon clan as an opponent. What do you think should be done?"
Thunderous voices accurately echoed in everyone’s ears, filling them with excitement.
"Exterminate the demons! Exterminate the demons! Exterminate the demons!"
"Indeed, we should exterminate the demons for eternal peace for our Central Plains Human Race."
"We will lay down our lives for His Majesty, for Great Yan!"
"We will lay down our lives for His Majesty, for Great Yan!"
"We will lay down our lives for His Majesty, for Great Yan!"
"Deploy the troops, march south!"
Chen Yuan waved his hand, and under the transmission of drumbeats, the rear quickly turned to the front, advancing rapidly in the direction of the Southern Border, accompanied by many farmers to clear the way.
After all, the Southern Border is mountainous, with almost no roads.
Fortunately, the previous demon clan gatherings had already cleared large areas of flat land, otherwise, it would have necessitated using beheading tactics, unable to completely eradicate the demon clan.
...
Tens of thousands of civilians, along with martial arts experts opening the road ahead, made the overall process relatively steady, although not fast. Chen Yuan had no intention of excessively pursuing speed.
This battle was meant to break the backbone of the entire demon clan, not just a few demon gods.
Just push through.
Of course, the smooth progress could not have been achieved without Chu Changfeng’s previous preparations, such as pre-arranged routes with continuous mountain clearing along the way.
The greatest contributor was none other than the giant turtle of Biyou Palace, whose massive size also provided him with enormous strength.
In the following months, the Yan Army marched straight for thousands of miles, making ample preparations along the way, cutting mountains, chopping trees, burning forests, destroying everything in sight.
There was another critical task for Chen Yuan in this battle: to expand the territory of the Central Plains for thousands of miles, creating several new South State and Shuzhou regions, gradually allowing the Human Race to flourish.
Without the pressure of war, the population grows rapidly, and without sufficient territory and resources to sustain them, they would be forced to rebel.
Therefore, from now on, he had to make all necessary preparations.
The Western Regions desert, Northern Barbarian Prairie, and East Sea waters are all unsuitable for Human Race habitation, only the vast lands of the Southern Border are suitable, provided the mountains can be leveled.
Clear the poisonous miasma, burn the forests, and artificially create livable land.
...
Southern Border, at a certain place.
Chen Yuan, clad in a black dragon robe, slowly materialized in the void, a faint smile curling at his lips. He and Moluo and others were paving the way, searching for traces of the demon clan.
Indeed, if they waited for the slow pace of the army, the demon clan would have long disappeared without a trace.
Beheading is a must, with Moluo, the old Heavenly Master, and the ancestor Su Ming searching for traces of the demon gods for extermination, then letting the army proceed.
This avoids accumulating killing karma, which would affect cultivation.
Regarding their departure, only a few, like Chu Changfeng and Jiang He, were aware. Ordinary soldiers and martial artists probably still thought their Holy Martial Emperor was stationed at the core.
Compared to Moluo and the others, Chen Yuan’s path was different because he had another crucial task: to find the trace of the Fen Tian Demon Emperor.
Subjugate him!
Long ago, he left behind certain methods to faintly sense the Comet Emperor’s location, all in preparation for this moment.
He is insignificant, but the Qi Fortune on him is very crucial for Chen Yuan.
And this was the place where he felt it most strongly.
The Fen Tian Demon Emperor must be hiding within this Secret Realm in the void.
Chen Yuan’s face wore a faint smile as his Divine Thought moved, a mighty Rule Power poured out swiftly, sweeping through the heavens and earth. After a moment, a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes:
"I’ve found you!"
.....
Within the Boundary Domain, infinite fire crows were born and extinguished, turning into flames, endlessly regenerating.
This was a world of only flames, the Burning Sky Demon Domain, where after the stellar battle, the Fen Tian Demon Emperor returned to his old haunt, preparing to hide for a thousand years.
