Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

The four—no, it should be said that three people and one dragon—continued their fight.

Black Dragon Dong Zhuo often used the disruption of the Yellow River's water curtain as bait to blast Zhao Yun and Lü Bu, causing them to frequently vomit blood and be slammed hard onto the jade steps.

Despite his massive size, Dong Zhuo's speed did not decrease in the slightest. On the contrary, thanks to his True Dragon Divine Power, he was even faster and his body was even more durable. He could even block Zhao Yun and Lü Bu's weapons with his body without much trouble.

As for Wang Yun's attack, it was completely useless!

The body of a true dragon is impervious to all magic!
The methods of strategists, sorcerers, and magicians can be weakened to the minimum, or even have no effect at all.

This made Zhao Yun and Lü Bu's situation even more difficult... Wang Yun, who was suspended in the sky, looked even more anxious.

This war has dragged on for too long... Once the Xiliang generals return to Chang'an, even if they successfully kill Dong Zhuo, they will face bloody retaliation. Only by killing Dong Zhuo before the Xiliang generals return, then sending envoys to sow discord among them, and bestowing high-ranking positions and generous rewards upon the Xiliang generals, can the situation be stabilized.

"Kill!!!" At this moment, shouts of battle came from outside. Countless Xiliang cavalry and tens of thousands of Flying Bear Divine Army soldiers had already rushed to the foot of the Yellow River's water curtain and were beginning to charge into it.

Wang Yun turned around, looked down at the Temple of Heaven, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his face.

He can manipulate the Yellow River water curtain to briefly block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Divine General, but he cannot kill anyone, otherwise the Yellow River water curtain will collapse.

Because the Yellow River is the mother river of China and one of the origins of humankind, it has a very deep bond with humankind. Once he manipulates the killing, he will suffer a backlash from the power of humanity, which will affect the Yellow River's temporary status, and in severe cases, it may even cause the status to end prematurely!
It could even cost him his life!

Therefore, he could not kill, he could only stop them. But with Dong Zhuo's army of a million men rushing into the Yellow River's water curtain, he couldn't stop them for long. At that time... no... it seems that the Yongzhou Cauldron will teleport all the outsiders away!

Thinking of this, Wang Yun formed a hand seal and directly led the Xiliang soldiers into the formation.

Just then, he heard Lü Bu's voice: "Lord Situ, please let those Xiliang Iron Cavalry and Flying Bear Divine Army in!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yun frowned. Lü Bu's words seemed to contradict his suspicions… Lü Bu appeared to have other plans!

While Wang Yun was pondering, the first wave of the Flying Bear Divine Army had already crossed the Yellow River's water curtain and arrived at the battlefield atop the Temple of Heaven.

Then, soldiers kept pouring in...

They've been here for a while, longer than Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, but the Yongzhou Cauldron hasn't emitted any white light to teleport them away!
Soon, the ground at the top of the Temple of Heaven was filled with a dense array of soldiers.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry didn't bring their mounts; they just ran up on foot. However, the Flying Bear Divine Army brought both their men and mounts... because the Flying Bears were also their core fighting force!

Soon, on the jade steps of the Temple of Heaven, from the perspective of all the people of China, the valiant figures of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Divine Army disappeared...

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Divine Army have joined the battle at the top of the Temple of Heaven. Doesn't that put Lu Bu, Wang Yun, and the others in danger?!
Countless people began to worry about Wang Yun, Lü Bu, and others... some even began to sadly believe that the attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo had failed!
The Xiliang faction generals who had retreated from defending the cities, including Zhang Ji and others, all showed a hint of relief when they saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Divine Army enter the Yellow River's water curtain, as if Dong Zhuo was about to win.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Mu and Dian Wei, having finished their business, ascended the Temple of Heaven again and arrived at the Yellow River water curtain at the top of the Temple of Heaven.

Along the way, the Han army has regrouped, many officials who had been observing have begun to join the fray, and more Han soldiers are gathering...

When their military strength has grown to the point where they can rival the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and the Flying Bear Divine Army, that will be the time for them to storm into the Yellow River!
The figures of Lin Mu and Dian Wei were seen by people all over the land.

Dian Wei, who had just slain the national guardian beast Tongtian Black Dragon, was currently more popular than Lü Bu!

The title of the greatest warrior in the world should belong to Dian Wei!
Lin Mu stood on the jade steps below the water curtain, looking up at the Yellow River water curtain with a slight frown.

Even standing so close, he couldn't sense the slightest presence within the Yellow River's water curtain; he could only see the faint silhouette of a black dragon through it.

He was curious about what was happening inside right now...

But he was hesitant to go in... because he had a feeling that if he went in, it would affect the course of the battle inside...

"Gong Tu, you can go in!" After thinking for a while, Lin Mu decided not to go in.

If he doesn't go in, then Dian Wei has to go in... because when Dong Zhuo dies, Zhao Yun alone might not be able to snatch as much loot as Lü Bu, Wang Yun, and the others.

With Dian Wei's help, the chances of winning are much higher. At this moment, Dian Wei is no less formidable than Lü Bu!
"Yes, sir!!!" Upon hearing this, Dian Wei's face showed a hint of excitement.

The battlefield inside is undoubtedly the most advanced battlefield in China, allowing him to witness the strength of the generals and experience another top-level battle!

Seeing Dian Wei's eager look, Lin Mu knew that his warlike tendencies had resurfaced... The Path of Blood Sovereign had indeed affected Dian Wei.

"Be careful. Fight if you can, but if you can't, then your primary task is to save both of your lives," Lin Mu whispered in his ear.

"Yes, sir!" Dian Wei nodded emphatically, and then plunged headfirst into the Yellow River's water curtain.

On the vast jade steps, Lin Mu was left all alone!

However, just as Lin Mu was about to continue lying down and waiting, a dazzling white light suddenly emerged from the curtain of the Yellow River and enveloped him!
Caught off guard, Lin Mu was about to summon the Liangzhou Cauldron to resist when he found it had a familiar feel to it... so he did not resist and was still enveloped in white light.

The next moment, he felt as if he had been put into a washing machine and was being tumbled around, his head throbbing...

Then, the uncomfortable feeling of weightlessness disappeared, and he found himself in a gray space.

"Roar!! Kill!!!"

"Thump thump!!~~~"

"Waaaaah!~~~~"

Just as he came to his senses, he heard a rapid mix of shouts of battle, drumbeats, and horn calls.

"Roar!~~~~" At this moment, a howl like that of a hungry wolf came from the darkness not far away.

The next moment, pairs of blood-red eyes began to appear.

"Second Brother, be careful! Three Heavenly Generals are attacking my Second Brother! How dare they!!" At this moment, a familiar voice rang out—it was Zhang Fei's voice!
"Where is this?!" Lin Mu frowned. "Could this be the battlefield at the top of the Temple of Heaven? A strange battlefield space?"

The next moment, a system notification appeared in his ear:

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, you have entered the [Yongzhou Cauldron] space and accepted the mandatory epic-level quest: [Eliminate the alien invaders!]"
The specific task information is as follows:
Mission Name: [Eliminate the Alien Invaders]

Quest Level: Epic
Mission Requirements: Within eleven hours, you must completely eradicate the remaining invading [Dragon Abyss Creatures] within the Yongzhou Cauldron space!

Mission Reward: Unknown

Mission Penalty: Failure will result in the collapse of the Yongzhou Cauldron's spatial structure, restoring the cauldron to its previous damaged state, and the coordinates of the primordial realm's spatial anchor point will be revealed to the alien races.

"Yongzhou Cauldron Space... Alien Invasion... Mandatory Epic-level Mission!!" Lin Mu's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing this system notification.

He hadn't expected such a twist to occur in the plot of the assassination of Dong Zhuo...

He just heard Zhang Fei's voice, as well as his second brother, Guan Yu. They were both inside this Yongzhou Cauldron space!
Presumably, they've also accepted the mission to eliminate the alien races... "I wonder if Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, Lü Bu, and Zhao Yun are here..."

“He shouldn’t be there… The Yellow River water curtain at the top of the Temple of Heaven is still there, and the black dragon that Dong Zhuo transformed into is also outside… Lu Bu, this key figure, is obviously also outside…” Lin Mu immediately realized this and pondered it carefully.

“Ho ho ho…” At this moment, a series of deep roars of wild beasts came from all directions.

The one making the sound must be the so-called alien creature from the Dragon Abyss!

Just then, the system notification continued to sound:
"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, your special title, Xuan-rank [Realm Commander], has taken effect."

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, because you possess the special title [Realm Commander (Mystic Rank)], you have the highest command authority in this battlefield, and you can receive a share of all kill rewards in the battlefield, specifically 10%, which will be automatically settled (cumulative) after the mission ends."

"As expected, when fighting against alien races, the realm commanders emerge... However, it's a pity that the blessing of being ranked second on the Heavenly Lords List is ineffective on the battlefield against alien races..."

He was surrounded, yet remained completely calm, his thoughts racing...

"Roar!!!" With a roar, countless dark shadows rushed towards Lin Mu from the darkness.

Lin Mu summoned the Primordial Dragon God Spear and immediately began using the skill. A huge dragon shadow rose from the ground, blasting away dozens of black shadows that were rushing towards him...

Then, he swung the Dragon God Spear sharply, sweeping away the black shadows that rushed up from both sides and behind him.

Only then did he realize who the attackers were...

They weren't of the same species; some resembled wolves, some tigers, and some lions, but their bodies were all jet black, and they emitted a pungent stench...

Upon closer inspection, one discovers that those wolves and tigers actually have horns and some black scales on their bodies... It seems that one can see a hint of a real dragon!
"A hybrid offspring of the dragon race!!!"

He unleashed a powerful aura-observing technique, only to find that the probe had failed...

He then tried to persuade them to surrender, but that also failed...

"At least tens of thousands have surrounded us... I wonder how many more there are. Can we kill them all in eleven hours?" Lin Mu was constantly calculating in his mind...

"They must be wiped out completely, or the consequences will be dire!!"

Then, countless black beasts rushed forward, charging at this peak Heaven Rank general as if they were not afraid of death!

Lin Mu unleashed powerful and unrestrained attacks, relentlessly eliminating the black beasts at an astonishing speed, even under the protection of the Heavenly Gang Shield, showing no mercy whatsoever.

While clearing out the black beasts, Lin Mu opened the attribute interface and found the sub-interface of the Realm Commander.

He ignored the longest and most enticing piece of information—the mission reward pool—and pulled up the list of participants.

Above, there was a list of all the people who had entered the Yongzhou Cauldron to accept the mission:

Guan Yu, a mid-level general in the Ten Yuan rank (temporary);

Guan Yu, Tenth Rank, Initial Stage, Heavenly General (Temporary);

Liu Bei, a peak-level Divine General of the Nine Realms (temporary).
Sun Ce, a peak-level Divine General of the Nine Realms (temporary);
Sun Jian, a peak-level Divine General of the Nine Realms (temporary);
Zhang Yuan, one of the Five Divine Generals;
Yuan An, one of the Four Divine Generals;
Wang Zheng, one of the Four Divine Generals;
Li Su, a master strategist of two elements;
Yang Zan, a Divine General of One Yuan;
Sun Rui, a master strategist;
Yang Shu, a master strategist;
Wang Hong, a master strategist;
Zhu Zhi, a Divine General of One Yuan;
Dong Min, a Divine General of One Yuan;
Dong Huang, a Divine General of One Yuan;
Dong Yue, a Divine General of One Yuan;
……

Bao Xin, a peak Heaven-rank general;
Yuan Shu, a peak Heaven-rank general;
……

Liu He, a strategist at the peak of the Earth Rank;
……

Lin Mu glanced at it quickly, raising an eyebrow slightly.

As expected, Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and Wang Yun did not enter!
"What's going on... How did Guan Yu and Zhang Fei get blessed with the Heavenly General title... Wasn't the bond between Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei temporarily broken?"

"Liu Bei's technique of borrowing fortune did not benefit Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, so they could not possibly be empowered to the level of a Heavenly General!"

Something must have happened to them!

After the Heavenly General, there are the Nine-Yuan Peak Generals. Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and Sun Jian all obtained their status through various means... just like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, their status was temporarily enhanced!
He wasn't surprised by this...

"And the Dong clan members... it seems all of Dong Zhuo's relatives have come... and so have the officials..."

"It seems that everyone except Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu, Zhao Yun, and Wang Yun has been summoned to the battlefield atop the Temple of Heaven!"

"Wait... Where's Gong Tu?!" Lin Mu suddenly realized that Dian Wei's name was not on the list.

That means there are only five people outside!

If Dong Zhuo were dead, Zhao Yun + Dian Wei would be a match for Lü Bu + Wang Yun!!!

The combination with the highest win rate should be Zhao Yun + Dian Wei!

"Should we meet up with the others?" Lin Mu pondered another question.

"Wait... I wonder if the Purple Evolution Cave Heaven Ring can be used?!" With a thought, Lin Mu felt a flash of white light from the ancient ring on his hand, and the figure of Shan Ming, the military officer of the Star Legion, appeared before him.

"My lord, can we be summoned now?!" Shanming was overjoyed upon seeing this.

“It’s no longer at the Temple of Heaven… You can summon it now…” Lin Mu replied quickly.

“This place is the Yongzhou Cauldron Space, surrounded by alien warriors, which is extremely dangerous, and we don’t know if we can be resurrected by soul-guided methods…” Lin Mu said immediately.

Just then, as he hesitated about whether to summon the troops hidden in the Purple Evolution Cave Ring, a system notification sounded in his ear:
"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, the authority attribute [Creation of Heaven and Earth] of the [Yongzhou Cauldron] has been revived and activated. Within the [Yongzhou Cauldron] space, during the epic-level mandatory mission, soldiers blessed with the authority attribute [Creation of Heaven and Earth] can be resurrected infinitely without loss after death, and there is no limit to the number."

"--bite!"

"--System notification: Dragon Lord Lin Mu, please note that the Authority attribute [Creation of Heaven and Earth] has not yet been applied to everyone. It needs to be activated and applied by you, the Profound Rank [Domain Commander]!"

Upon hearing these two system notifications, Lin Mu's pupils constricted sharply: "The authority attribute of the Yongzhou Cauldron is infinite resurrection?!"

He had a premonition that the resurrection rule sequence of the Yongzhou Cauldron was definitely higher than that of the Big Dipper Divine Tower!
"The more support measures and the better the benefits, the more difficult this battle will be!"

"I just heard Zhang Fei call for the Heavenly Generals to surround and annihilate them... It seems the enemy also has the strength of a Heavenly General... This battle is going to be tough!"

(I'm not feeling well today. My throat is sore, I'm dizzy, and my muscles are a bit sore... so this is only 4,000 words!) (End of Chapter)
