Chapter 1225 - 763: Advancement? Holy Soldier?
On the surface, at the edge of the Bottomless Abyss.
Teams of Asa Warriors stood amidst the sea of blood and mountains of corpses, not daring to move.
One minute ago, a small squad of reinforcements from Great Xia had charged into the abyss and liberated the Twin Trees.
Afterwards, everyone witnessed a massacre!
In the minds of the masses, the Twin Trees were regarded as so noble and sacred.
No one expected that one day, the Twin Trees would personally take up the butcher’s knife and slaughter all adversaries.
In a mere minute, there were no more rampaging Cold Beasts in the surrounding area, only mountains of skeletal remains.
Even within the Bottomless Abyss, no more Cold Beasts spewed forth. Clearly, the Divine Tree had killed all enemies within the deep pit.
The pungent smell of blood lingered in the air, and even the battle-hardened soldiers by the pit’s edge couldn’t help but feel nauseated at the sight of rivers of blood.
"Aisha!" A male soldier rode over on a Yue Mountain Lion, his voice trembling slightly.
Fortunately, the Yue Mountain Lion clan was naturally brave, possessing no fear, and moved freely among the pile of corpses.
"Ah!" Aisha stood at the mouth of the Bottomless Pit, staring blankly below.
"Aisha, you’re the only one who made contact with the people of Great Xia. What did they say?" the soldier inquired.
"What did they say..." Aisha’s mind was somewhat dazed as she gazed at the Bottomless Abyss at her feet, "They said they would attack and kill the abyss, yes! That girl said they would attack and kill the abyss."
"So, should we go down to help them?"
"Help them?" Aisha finally snapped out of it, a trace of bitterness rising in her heart.
How can we possibly have the capacity to help them attack and kill the abyss?
Not even...
Aisha turned her head, looking at the Mountain Fire Saber and Tribulation Arrow soaring in the sky above the city.
Others casually leave behind two weapons, which are the top-notch Holy Grade Demon Soldiers, to help us defend the city.
Aisha made a swift decision and suggested, "Leave some people here to provide support, and the rest of the troops go into the city to save people!"
Aisha’s idea was simple: the Asa Corps didn’t have the ability to help a few Great Xia people attack and kill the abyss, but everyone could rescue the city and minimize losses!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
From afar below the abyss, faint sounds of muffled rumbles came through.
Aisha’s eyes shone brightly as she looked again towards the abyss enshrouded in cold mist.
Vaguely, she seemed to see the silhouette of the Great Xia Legendary Demon Tamer, Du Yu, raising a great axe and chopping wood.
"Woodcutter..." Aisha murmured as she followed the figures.
She was not mistaken.
But at the moment, Du Yu wasn’t just chopping wood; it resembled more like assembly line work?
The Spirit Branch went first, piercing and ripping through the massive trunks of Cold Wood.
Following was the Death God cat, swinging the Jade Dragon Lion Bone Scythe on its tail, fiercely hacking at the Cold Wood, then leaping downward.
Finally, it was Du Yu’s turn, riding the Desolate Silver Lynx, to deliver the fatal blow to the nearly severed Cold Wood trunk.
Such actions seemed more like practice.
Because the Divine Spirit Tree did not need Du Yu to chop down these branches; it merely required Du Yu to deal a fatal blow to the Cold Wood roots.
But the great axe in Du Yu’s hand was already eagerly anticipating!
Besides, in his body, there still hid a Little Golden Crow that was extremely eager...
And Du Yu’s assembly line wasn’t the only one; over there, the "Jian, Nan, and Wei" trio were also attacking the Cold Trees.
Senior Brother Fu was about to possess Divine Armor, and once he reached the Peak Stage of Demon Taming General, he would immediately be equipped with the Cold Lake Sword. However, Nan and Wei didn’t have Divine Armor waiting for them.
Their Demon Soldiers were Emperor Grade Demon Soldiers, customized and rewarded by the Great Xia Bookstore.
Using Emperor Grade Demon Soldiers to confront the dominant power of another world, each attack probably earned some experience, right?
At least it could open up their wisdom!
Moreover, the path down had been frighteningly smooth, without any threat!
Sister Jiang Feng was constantly constructing walls, single-handedly doing the work of hundreds of Earth Element Demon Pets from the Great Xia Corps.
Master Qing, wielding the Jade Gourd, continuously expanded the territory, fully controlling the Cold Trees.
And the more Spirit Branches freed, the stronger the Twin Trees became, with no Cold Beast able to approach everyone.
Not only the Cold Beasts, but the Cold Trees too were falling en masse in the sweeping action of the Spirit Branches.
This sparked three big words in Du Yu’s mind: do it yourself.
Once the Divine Spirit Tree was withdrawn, it would autonomously attack and slay Cold Beasts, smash Cold Wood.
As time went on, the Cyan Gate Squad and the Divine Spirit Tree became increasingly coordinated, reaching an astounding level of efficiency.
For some reason, Du Yu suddenly felt like an "old father."
The Cyan Gate team was really maturing.
Holy Pets, Holy Soldiers, Ancient Spiritual Artifacts...
Various features were complete; whatever one needed was available.
The effect presented by this rescue mission was the best testament. The Asa people had been resisting desperately, only to be hopelessly defeated step by step.
But as soon as the Cyan Gate people entered, they swiftly turned the tide.
Of course, there is no end to improvement. The Cyan Gate people could still progress further.
For instance, get Sister some more Ancient Spiritual Artifacts, outfit the elder brother and third sister with Divine Weapons, Divine Pets, etc.
This king has already ascended to Supreme level; naturally, family should enjoy the benefits, maybe tame some Demon Saints or something...
Hmm, just perfect~
"Master Qing, someone is coming." Jiang Feng suddenly spoke up, noticing with her Yellow Sand Perception at least over 20 figures through the faint yellow sand above.
Yang Qingqing gently nodded, "People from the Divine Wood Pavilion."
Jiang Feng had the Three Spirits Coin - Yellow Sand Perception, while Yang Qingqing also possessed the Jade Gourd perception. She had detected the reinforcements early and had used the Sea of Sorrow Eyes to check them.
The "check" here was not simply observing the other party’s form.
Yang Qingqing directly used the Sea of Sorrow Eyes to break through the other’s disguise, ensuring the arrivals were not metamorphosed members of the Cold Race.
Meanwhile, below, the Desolate Silver Lynx skidded sideways and came to a halt in front of the Cold Wood.
"Boom!"
Du Yu abruptly wielded the Fire Age Axe, chopping at the heavily damaged, precariously swaying Cold Wood.
The gigantic Fire Age Axe lightly trembled, its blazing flame setting the wood aflame, shooting high flames.
Ignite the Cold Wood directly?
Impossible!
The Youhan Tree was the overlord of its world, harboring boundless Cold Qi; a mere Fire Age Axe, an Emperor Grade Demon Soldier, could never match the power of the Annihilation Ash Demon Flame.
But once the Cold Wood was severed, it became merely regular wood.
The Fire Age Axe suddenly showed its might!
Especially under the master’s urging, the Fire Age Axe frenziedly wreaked havoc, displaying its divine power.
As for why Du Yu wanted the Fire Age Axe to act this way... Well, it was because his Little Fen Yang wanted to see.
"Fire Age Burning Sky!" Du Yu murmured within, as Demon Breath poured into the axe handle, and waves of blazing fire surged from the axe head.
Don’t misunderstand, Du Yu wasn’t chanting any incantation. This is the name of the Fire Age Axe’s Demon Soldier Array.
"Whoosh!" Fire clouds rose and spread layer upon layer, aggressively burning the cold branches.
"Burn, burn, burn~" Little Fen Yang was ecstatically joyful.
Having a body now, she chose to fly out in absolute safety, landing on Du Yu’s shoulder.
"Ah!" Li Mengnan held the Demon Soldier Pestle, gazing at Du Yu with eyes full of surprise.
Lin Shiwei, with her Fire Ghost Eyes, followed with her eyes, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.
That is...
That is the creator of the Paper Crane Disciples, the deity who gave us everything?
The Golden Crow Saint, why is her form so petite?
When did she acquire a body?
Du Yu frowned slightly, turning his head towards his right shoulder: "Why did you come out?"
The mysterious little bird, black and gold intermingled, suddenly raised her small head, pecking Du Yu’s earlobe: "Woo-ah~"
At the same moment, a playful voice imprinted into Du Yu’s mind: "Du Yu, Du Yu, keep chopping~ I want to watch!"
Du Yu: "..."
"Du Yu, Du Yu!" Little Golden Crow jumped on Du Yu’s shoulder, nuzzling his cheek with her small head, "Good Du Yu~"
"Alright, alright!" Du Yu urged the Silver Lynx downwards, "Come back first, don’t stay outside."
Although the Golden Crow now had a body, to put it bluntly, her body was too small.
Hardly larger than a palm, she looked similar to a Mortal Level hatchling.
Little Fen Yang: "I won’t."
Du Yu: "You..."
"Just won’t, just won’t~" Little Fen Yang coyly rubbed against Du Yu’s cheek, "With Du Yu protecting me, I’m not afraid!"
A plain statement that left Du Yu stunned.
Seemingly simple words were the result of Du Yu’s efforts and cautious care over the years.
Now he wielded Holy Soldiers and Holy Beasts one after another, no longer the "Weakling Du" of the past.
"Hehe." Little Fen Yang giggled, "Chop wood, chop wood, this time, I want to see it with my own eyes!"
"Alright!" Du Yu suddenly shouted loudly.
The Golden Crow Saint is right!
With me protecting you, what is there to fear! Why hesitate!
This cold tree,
I will chop it myself, and you will witness it!
Du Yu’s sudden grandness made the Cyan Sect crowd click their tongues in wonder.
Only Master Qing did not find it abrupt, having already sensed the subtle change in her disciple’s mindset in the palm of Lengzhu Garden·Chi Ancestor’s hand.
"You’ve grown quite a bit." A voice with a sandy sound suddenly imprinted into Du Yu’s mind.
"Mm?" Du Yu lowered his head, wondering why Baojun suddenly said this.
The Desolate Silver Lynx swiftly descended: "More arrogant now, more my taste."
Du Yu’s eyes narrowed, seeing through layers of mist the bottomless pit.
Desolate Silver Lynx: "Arrogant master, you haven’t been my cushion for a long time."
"Focus, concentrate on the task!" Du Yu gripped the Fire Age Axe tightly, "I’ll accompany you to sleep when we return!"
Everyone: ???
"Meow." The Desolate Silver Lynx responded contentedly, transforming into a silver lightning, rapidly leaping past layers of tree shadows, darting toward the ground.
The silver beast fell rapidly from such a height, yet its landing was steady and unnervingly gentle!
The soft pads under its paws played a remarkable role in cushioned shock absorption.
Clearly so light, yet pressing down felt heavy as death!
Truly...
"Void!" Du Yu suddenly swung the Fire Age Axe, trying to grip the very end of the handle.
The axe, with a shaft measuring three meters long, its blade point pressed against the joint between the cold tree root and the ground.
Void: "Here!"
Little Golden Crow stood on Du Yu’s shoulder, suddenly spreading her small wings: "Ah~!"
Du Yu, full of spirit: "This time, we’ll let her witness it personally!"
Void’s reply was firm and strong: "Yes!"
Du Yu: "Go, Baojun!"
"Meow!" The Desolate Silver Lynx clung to the cold tree root, swiftly darting forward.
"Sizz..."
The Fire Age Axe blade edge immediately tore open a spatial rift!
Silver lightning encircled the massive cold tree stump, the ethereal blade edge sliced the root cleanly and sharply, chopping it beneath the axe!
Little Golden Crow spread her tiny wings, stardust splattering everywhere.
Cold Tree!
I’m back again!
I, along with my Du Yu, will one day chop you to pieces and burn you to ashes!
The small Golden Crow seemed to be venting her heart’s anger, also seeming to be shouting joyfully: "Ah~~~"
"Buzz!!!"
The Fire Age Axe began to vibrate intensely, fiery light soaring into the sky.
Over twenty Black-robed People who fell rapidly were all astonished, hurriedly dodging to the side.
The Cyan Sect crowd also had a shock in their hearts, suddenly darting to the side.
What’s happening with the Fire Age Axe.....
A series of "creak, creak" sounds were heard continuously, the Fire Age Axe was growing savagely.
With Chi Ancestor’s help, the dark red bamboo leaves grew on the axe under the burning flames, and not only did they not burn down, but became even more abundant, thriving more vigorously!
Du Yu’s eyes brightened, the Fire Age Axe is upgrading?!
