Conquering Myriad Worlds from the Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1003 Fragments of the Past

"what happened?"

Not only were Yu Jin completely bewildered, but Jiang Wei was also completely confused.

They were also testing the properties of the fog, and just as they were starting to make progress, the army in the fog suddenly retreated.

This result left everyone somewhat puzzled.

"This reaction is not good!" Jiang Wei frowned. The news from the scouts made them uneasy.

All the fog soldiers retreated to the source of the fog, as if something was about to be born.

"Are you sure nothing else is interfering?"

"Theoretically, it should be impossible, but we cannot rule out the possibility that the Miracle Legion might use the characteristics of the powerful flying bricks to forcibly create reality."

Jiang Wei covered his head; it was no different from saying nothing at all.

He is now 100% certain that the Mongol Yuan or the Ming Dynasty are behind this trouble, or even both might be working together.

Back then, the Han Dynasty fought so fiercely against the Xiongnu, yet they still tacitly agreed to kick the Yuezhi out of the game.

Stances can change at any time.

Both sides were both ravaged by the insect plague in the previous round, so it's not impossible that they could join forces to deal with and suppress Star River.

Xinghan and Daming are allies, but the honeymoon period has clearly passed, and they have entered a state of superficial harmony but deep discord.

Generally speaking, both opposed the Mongol Yuan dynasty.

However, specific situations still require specific analysis, and there is no such thing as firmly taking sides.

"Crack..."

Everyone heard the sound of glass shattering. Cracks appeared in the sky, which was like a backdrop, but fortunately, the cracks gradually healed.

This incident made everyone tense.

This commotion didn't seem like a spatial rift at all; it was something far more terrifying.

"The world barrier was just forcibly breached?"

Ma Er gazed at the sky, and as a member of the Miracle Legion, he clearly sensed something else.

"It seems to be related to our ritual summoning..."

Oswin was a little uneasy. Had he and Ma Er gotten themselves into some big trouble?

Honestly, even if you picked up the Mist Cat, you wouldn't feel any danger, but Oswin's intuition told him that this matter was inextricably linked to them.

“It’s possible that our summoning awakened the will of the mist itself, resulting in a completely new will that began to rule over these mists…” Ma Er said, following his intuition.

Upon hearing this, Oswin looked utterly despairing, knowing that in their current situation, there was no longer any new blood to be drawn to.

The so-called "new blood tide" is almost always a warning brought by the will when it observes the future.

When Ma Er uttered these words with a strange expression, it was practically a prophecy.

Oswin immediately informed Yu Jin of the situation, and then communicated with Jiang Wei and the rear in Luoyang.

“A high-energy reaction did indeed occur in that small world, and the retreat of those mist soldiers is consistent with the unease in the ears during the early stages of consciousness.”

After conducting tests, the technicians discovered that Ma Er might be right; a consciousness might indeed have emerged from the fog.

It is highly likely that a fragment of the "Hymn" has been resurrected and is planning to cause trouble.

This is not good news for them.

The insect plague has already shown them how troublesome an opponent with a swarm mentality can be, and now it seems they can do it again.

"Pass on my order: all units must accelerate their mobilization. I need the entire army in place within three days!" Mu Yi's face was cold and stern.

Since the Ming and Mongol Yuan dynasties have made their moves, he'll have to accept them. He wants to see what tricks they're up to.

Just as the Xinghan army was being urgently mobilized.

Ma Er and Oswin led their legions directly into the depths of Mount Tai.

"Ma Er, are you sure you want to do this?" Oswin looked at Ma Er beside him with some helplessness.

“We’re the ones who made this mess, so we’re the ones who have to clean it up!” Ma Er rolled his eyes.

"If you're scared, you can go back first!"

Seeing that Oswin was still hesitating, Ma Er decisively used a provocation tactic, mocking Oswin.

"What are you talking about? Do you think I'm afraid of this fog?" Oswin took the bait instantly, even though he was a reliable general.

However, he had already been led astray by Ma Er and was now acting impulsively.

Once he got carried away, he immediately followed Ma Er and charged out.

“We are dealing with hundreds of thousands of Mist Banner cavalry. If a real battle breaks out, we won’t fare well either!” Oswin earnestly advised Ma Er.

"Don't worry, you just need to lead your men to brave the sun, and we'll take care of the rest!" Ma Er patted his chest, not taking the so-called hundreds of thousands of Mist Banner cavalry seriously at all.

Ultimately, these fog-shrouded versions of the Eight Banners cavalry are also illusionary soldiers; to the First Yellow Heaven, they are nothing more than miscellaneous troops.

With the explosives from the Changshui Camp and their Cloud Arrow talent, they could easily sweep through.

One after another, cloud-bursting arrows rained down, and the Eight Banners cavalry fell like wheat being harvested, row after row, utterly powerless to retaliate.

If it were replaced by hundreds of thousands of real Eight Banners cavalry, the First Yellow Heaven might have to temporarily avoid their sharp edge.

After all, even with hundreds of thousands of talents, the total amount of cloud energy condensed is no joke.

Moreover, before these illusionary warriors could even be hit by the cloud-bursting arrows, they had already been mostly suppressed by Oswin's Sun Legion.

The combined power of the two Miracle Legions was far greater than the sum of its parts.

The two legions cooperated to break through all the fog and reach the depths of the Taishan Mountains.

On the other side, Yu Jin, who knew that Ma Er and Oswin had run away, had veins popping on his forehead.

"What exactly are these two idiots trying to do?"

Yu Jin cursed angrily, took a breath, and decisively gave up thinking about Ma Er and Oswin's motives, directly reporting the news to Mu Yi.

"Ma Er must have discovered something..."

Although Ma Er was unreliable in matters concerning himself, he was a fairly mature officer in other aspects.

Bearing the title of the number one Yellow Heaven, Ma Er was almost never lazy and constantly studied involution.

He was able to learn from almost all the famous teachers in the entire Star River, and he also knew the secret techniques of the entire empire. Under multiple shapings, Ma Er, setting aside his identity as the commander of the Miracle Legion, was also a general who could be ranked among the top in the empire.

"In that case, what do you think about mobilizing the First Air Force Squadron?" Zhuge Liang said to Mu Yi after thinking it over.

“Okay!” Mu Yi nodded.

The so-called First Air Force Group was actually a legion formed around Tianzhou.

The Tianzhou ships were damaged in the battle against the Qing court, but they have now been almost completely repaired. With the help of the technical department, a batch of smaller Tianzhou ships have been produced.

The Star Han Empire's air force has now been officially established.

However, as a newly formed army, this legion has yet to demonstrate its strength. This battle will be a good test, especially the counter-summoning ritual; they also want to test the effectiveness of a full-scale air force attack.

The air force's operation was much simpler than the army's; it completed its assembly in less than half a day and then flew across the space gate toward Mount Tai.

However, upon arriving at Mount Tai, the First Air Force Squadron encountered a problem: the visibility was too low due to the fog, making it impossible for them to lock onto targets visually.

Fortunately, a golden sun shone brightly through the fog, guiding them in the right direction.

"Having located the First Yellow Heaven and the Sun Legion, should we launch an attack and provide cover?"

"I'll go down and find out what's going on!" Huang Zhong rode the giant dragon down toward the Sun Legion.

The overwhelming aura of the display also made Ma Er and Oswin realize who had come.

"General Huang, you've come at just the right time. Have the air force squadron thoroughly clean up this area. I need to find out where the entrance is!"

Ma Er knew that the entrance to the small world was nearby, but the endless fog and the Eight Banners were indeed making things a bit tricky for him.

His combination with Oswin was able to move in and out of the fog-shrouded army without a trace, but if they stayed in one place and didn't move, they would be constantly worn down.

They really do face the risk of being worn down and killed.

Upon hearing Ma Er's words, Huang Zhong immediately drew his bow and fired more than a dozen arrows, indicating the location of the fleet in the air.

"Fire!"

One after another, the ship's cannons, powered by the essence of heaven and earth, began to unleash their firepower on the ground.

In just a moment, the area marked by Huang Zhong had been bombarded by artillery fire.

The fog surrounding the army vanished, leaving only wisps of mist.

"This power!"

Oswin looked at the bombed ground and could sense that the power of these naval cannons, driven by the essence of heaven and earth, was no less than that of the burst of power from tens of thousands of Changshui soldiers.

Even more than that.

However, as they had previously experimented with, it was impossible to completely eliminate the fog without a miraculous attack.

The areas that had just been cleared were filled with all the vacancies almost within a few breaths.

"Naval guns are charging, archers prepare, second round of firing begins!"

The fleet was equipped with a large number of archers from the Long Water Battalion and the Shooting Battalion, which formed the fleet's second line of firepower.

Responsible for filling the attack gaps while the ship's guns are charging.

And they fulfilled this mission very well.

A massive explosion echoed across the ground once more.

"found it!"

This time, Ma Er found the entrance he was looking for. The entrance was hidden by the fog in a special way, which is why they couldn't find it at first.

However, this special method was disrupted by the intense bombing, and the slightest abnormality was detected by the First Yellow Heaven.

"This is the entrance!"

Ma Er, wielding his knife, cleaved through all the hidden structures with a single stroke, decisively opening the entrance to the small world.

Before Ma Er could do anything, a large hand formed from mist sent him flying.

Huang Zhong caught Ma Er, then unleashed his inner energy and used a single strike to completely freeze the entrance.

"Let's retreat a bit, this thing is probably huge!" Huang Zhong shouted. He discovered that his ice seal hadn't actually sealed the giant hand, only the entrance was frozen, which was why the opponent couldn't move for a while.

But this is only temporary; the opponent will soon be able to break through.

Ma Er steadied himself, looking at the large hand shrouded in mist with a gloomy expression. He also sensed that the large hand was extraordinary.

And just as he guessed, their ritual summoning did indeed awaken fragments of the "hymn".

The feeling he got from the large hand was exactly the same as that of the Misty Cat.

However, unlike the others, the opponent has already devoured too many of the Eight Banners of Mist, condensed more fragments, and grown to a rather exaggerated level.

Even if it's not the Undying Golden Core, it has definitely reached that threshold and completely reached the true level of the top-tier Three-Breakthrough Realm.

"Oh!"

The icy power at the entrance completely dissipated, and another giant hand placed itself at the entrance, tearing open the spatial rift as if ripping cloth. An enormous figure emerged from it.

In the underworld.

Mu Yi found the insect plague will he left behind and asked the other party, along with the Mist Eight Banners, if they recognized it.

"Do you know who this is?"

"This feeling... fog? This guy isn't dead yet?" The Insect Plague Will seemed somewhat surprised.

"Fog? Is it very weak?" Mu Yi sensed the insect plague's surprise.

"No, he was incredibly strong, much stronger than I was at my peak. But in my memory, he should have already been killed by the Yellow Emperor, and even completely dismembered, before being suppressed by the Xuanyuan Sword," the Insect Plague Will recalled.

"The Yellow Emperor is in here... Killed? Dismembered? You don't mean to say this guy is Chi You, do you?" Mu Yi felt the name sounded familiar.

"Chi You..." The insect plague consciousness suddenly trembled.

"Of course it's not that evil god, but it is indeed related to Chi You. The fog was cut down by the Yellow Emperor before the Holy Song War, but Chi You obtained its core. So Chi You can also stir up the fog by relying on its core."

"Back then, that fiend Chi You, relying on the core of the mist, killed countless Holy Songs..."

Mu Yi hadn't expected there to be such a story behind it, but after all, it was all in the past.

The fog now is just a fragment.

"Do you know what weaknesses this thing has?" Mu Yi asked curiously.

"Light and heat can both suppress it, but in theory, it should have no chance of reviving..." The will of the insect plague abruptly stopped.

"It's Chi You!" the Insect Plague Will screamed.

On the battlefield, the enormous figure was fully revealed from the spatial rift. It had a bull's head and a human body, three heads and six arms, horns on its head, ears and temples like halberds, and a pair of huge wings on its back.

"I never thought I'd be resurrected..."

"To be resurrected in this state is truly astonishing."

Chi You looked at his hands and feet, then looked up at his surroundings.

"When did this happen? The essence of heaven and earth has deteriorated to this extent..."

Then he turned his attention to Ma Er and the others.

"You were the ones who attacked me just now?"

It was just a simple question, but Huang Zhong, facing Chi You directly, revealed an unprecedented solemnity.

There's a monster.

A monster even more terrifying than Lü Bu and Xiang Yu.
