I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 329 Return, This is the Sword of the Human Emperor

"Is this the lineage of Jiuli, with only a wild soul with murderous intent left?"

Emperor Xuanyuan sighed softly: "Even if tens of millions of years have passed, it is still impossible to resolve the hatred that comes from the depths of our blood."

"Hahaha! Xuanyuan, you had the help of Xuannv back then, so you were lucky enough to defeat me and drive my Jiuli clan into the earth."

The demonic energy in Chi You's body rose wildly, and he laughed loudly: "Although my Jiuli clan has been defeated, I will never recognize you as the emperor who seeks fame and reputation. I will also become the master of the earth!"

"Fight! Kill!"

"So what if Xuanyuan Huangdi? Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

"We will wipe out the Yanhuang lineage in our lifetime!"

The blood flag was raised, the Jiuli fighting spirit roared, and their momentum was connected together, rising straight into the sky and breaking into the sea of ​​clouds.

The blood-stained clouds in the sky were torn apart by the evil spirit rising into the sky, turning into a huge vortex, like the eye of a typhoon.

"My fellow Jiuli people, you are cursed by the blood of Chiyou. You cannot be illuminated by the light of heaven and can only live on the soil covered by dark mist."

"And we, the Yanhuang lineage, need to break through the dark mist covering the sky and live under the light of heaven."

"Therefore, our two races cannot coexist in the same place. Please believe that I am also very sorry."

"Therefore, I used the magic method taught by the great goddess Nuwa to move the sky and mountains, so that the sun can shine on the earth again. I also created a place for you to block the sun. This is the land of Xuanyuan where your descendants will live. This is the only way to protect the survival of both races at the same time."

Facing the pressure that was like destroying the heavens and the earth, Emperor Xuanyuan remained calm: "Please believe me, I am also waiting for the birth of the Jiuli bloodline that has escaped the curse of blood and soul and is not afraid of the sun and the sky. I am waiting for the descendants of Jiuli to coexist with my Yanhuang bloodline on the earth."

"..."

The Jiuli fighting spirits paused for a moment and looked at Chi You one after another.

"The curse of blood soul, the evil thoughts of wild souls, the kingly way and the tyrannical way..."

Yin Qianyang sighed softly and stared down at the sword talisman on his waist.

Strands of dark black sword energy emanated from it, as if they could freeze space.

He actually had no expectations for Chiyou's morality, nor did he think that Chiyou would really have compassion for the human race.

Originally, Yin Qianyang could still comfort himself, thinking that in order to resurrect his wife, he didn't need to care about such a trivial matter as the destruction of the world.

But at this point, even if his wife was resurrected, she would most likely become a puppet with only murderous intent and evil thoughts left...

Such a result did not meet Yin Qianyang's expectations.

"Now the destiny belongs to me, so what can the Emperor Xuanyuan do?"

Chi You's eyes flashed with arrogance, and he shouted: "Kill! Even if Xuanyuan tries to stop us, we should kill him!"

"kill!"

The military order was conveyed, and the Jiuli fighting spirit roared loudly and launched an unstoppable charge.

"Being able to say these words is the fulfillment of my wish."

"As for whether these wild souls listen or not, it is up to them."

Emperor Xuanyuan smiled and said, "Little friend Lin, I'll leave the rest to you."

"I dare to fight for humanity, so I ask Your Majesty to help me break the seal of this sword."

Lin Xuan realized something and reached out to grasp the blade of the golden sword: "My heart is clear, please judge by the emperor!"

Blood continued to flow out of Lin Xuan's hand, dripping onto the blade of the golden sword.

Washed by the blood, the hazy air on the remaining scrolls slowly dissipated.

Countless mysterious patterns, as if they came out of myths and legends, appeared in the last years of the dynasty.

"good."

Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled happily, gripped the sword and let the blood flow.

The next moment, the golden sword was like a golden sun, emitting an incomparably brilliant light.

A brilliant golden edge was outlined above the sky, earth and mountains that were originally filled with blood.

"This is the sword of the emperor..."

Lin Xuan raised the sword and swung it gently towards the Jiuli fighting spirit that was surging like a tide.

Golden light shines on the earth!

A series of magnificent golden paintings slowly unfold among the sea of ​​clouds.

There was a man named Youchao who built a nest by imitating a bird and constructed a house with wood.

There was a man named Suiren, who used knotted ropes to record events and drilled wood to make fire.

There was Fuxi, who was good at fishing, hunting, and music, and who deduced the Eight Trigrams.

There was Nuwa, who refined stones to repair the sky and kneaded clay to create humans.

There was Shennong, who processed hemp into cloth and tasted hundreds of herbs himself.

There was also Huangdi, who fought a battle at Zhuolu, and was known in history as Yanhuang.

"As long as the heavens are not destroyed, humanity will last forever!"

The last scroll showed four emperors wearing imperial robes and wearing flat crowns, with domineering auras appearing, gathering all the power of humanity into the golden sword.

He is an example to all emperors throughout the ages, a teacher to the people for generations, the founder of civilization, and respected by the world.

Huangdi, Yao and Shun, the world was in order without wearing any clothes, which was probably derived from the universe.

Thanks to Yu’s achievements, the nine states were united, the glory of the Tang and Yu dynasties was passed down to future generations, and his virtues were passed down to all.

The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang to rectify the four directions. He ordered his descendants to rule the nine regions.

Tang Yao, Yu Shun, Xia Yu, Shang Tang, Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang!

Wisps of ancient and vast breath linger between heaven and earth.

Kindness, wisdom, majesty and anger, just like the vicissitudes of life and the joys and sorrows that have occurred in the land of China over millions of years.

The eternal emperor, a moment of ten thousand years!
[Due to special reasons, this artifact has been unsealed and upgraded to a mythical weapon (humanity weapon), and has the power to match it. ]

[Currently, there is no information about this magic weapon. The reincarnationist named it "Human Emperor Sword", and this name is reserved in this space.]

"You! How dare you, thief!"

An expression of shock and anger suddenly flashed across Chi You's eyes.

Without thinking too much, he suddenly leaped forward and chopped down with a knife.

The knife flashed in the air, demonic clouds emerged, and the sun and moon lost their light!
Although, Chi You still doesn't know what the sword in Lin Xuan's hand is.

But this sword gave Chi You an unprecedented sense of crisis, and made him feel extremely ominous.

It is even more powerful than the Xuan-Yuan Sword and the Jiuyi Tianzun Sword.

"late."

The cold voice of a young girl was heard, and a golden bird suddenly appeared in the sky.

The black bird flapped its wings to block Chi You's sword.

Ah Qing snorted softly, his knuckles exploded, and blood dripped onto the green bamboo stick, but his expression remained cold.

"Your Majesty, please."

Yuwen Tuo let out a breath, and his body gradually faded away.

The next moment, the Kunlun Mirror appeared in front of Huang Rong as if it had traveled through the void.

"I'll try my best... Don't compare me with the Queen Mother of the West."

Huang Rong gritted her teeth, injected the emperor's dragon energy into the Kunlun Mirror, and quickly shook it towards Chi You's figure.

A ray of snow-white light of death pierced through the lens and shot towards Chi You.

"Go away!"

Chi You's face changed slightly, and the bloody blade fell heavily, splitting the light of the Kunlun Mirror.

"In the boundless sea of ​​suffering and the vastness of human nature, all life is suffering, and all thoughts are delusion!"

The golden sword was completely unsealed, and Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. His clear voice resounded through the world: "Kill the calamity!"

The extremely vast and boundless sword intent suddenly rose between heaven and earth.

In the void, a mysterious Zhoutian sword formation emerged.

It was as if the stars in the sky were falling, making people feel extremely palpitating.

The brilliant light of heaven filled the sky, and endless sword beams fell on the earth.

Millions of fighting spirits roared in despair at the same time.

The extremely ferocious divine body and demon body quickly collapsed and dissipated under the sword light.

It was like dancing snowflakes suddenly encountering the scorching sun.

Before it hit the ground, it dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Xuanyuan Huangdi, the sword of humanity..."

Yin Qianyang sighed softly and appeared in the center of the sword formation: "Well!"

The golden sword light fell and tore his self-protecting Zhutian Sword Formation into pieces.

Then, a layer of light golden light was outlined on his body.

"..."

Yin Qianyang stopped his actions in confusion, staring blankly at his palms which had become white again.

After hesitating for a moment, Yin Qianyang's brows slowly relaxed, revealing an enlightened smile, and he sat down cross-legged.

As the wind blew, his body turned into dust and disappeared into smoke.

[The reincarnation Huang Rong has killed the gold master Wanyan Aguda, and the reincarnation Lin Xuan has killed the Jin Dynasty's national teacher Yin Qianyang. ]

【Based on the above events, the challenge mission "Supreme Destruction" has been completed, and the dungeon rating has been improved. 】

Almost at the same time, the Jiuli wild souls that were powerful enough to sweep away the human world were all destroyed in both body and soul, and no longer existed in the world!
Once the evil spirit was cleared, the extremely vigorous energy of the mountains and rivers turned into purple auspicious clouds, feeding back to the heaven and earth.

Purple air comes from the east, and auspicious clouds cover the sky!
"Fuck your fucking Dog King Sword!"

Chi You roared angrily, suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and his body involuntarily stiffened slightly.

Those millions of fighting souls condensed into soul bodies, although most of the power belonged to the fighting souls' own murderous obsession.

But Chi You still paid a heavy price, and those fighting spirits were somehow connected to him.

Now that millions of fighting spirits have been destroyed, the backlash alone has made Chi You extremely uncomfortable.

"cut!"

Lin Xuan let out a clear whistle and took a step forward. A thousand-foot-long light solidified and evolved into a giant golden-purple sword.

"go away!"

Chi You was furious and swung a blood-red giant blade to block the giant sword.

The giant sword and the blood blade collided with each other, and the space around the two weapons continued to collapse, and cracks appeared.

This is a sign that this plane cannot withstand the fight between the two and is gradually collapsing.

"No, if this goes on, everyone will be doomed!"

Huang Rong gritted her teeth and raised the Kunlun Mirror upwards.

The white light flashed again and hit the spot between Chi You's eyebrows, causing Chi You's body to shake slightly.

"I hit it! Everyone, help me!"

Huang Rong was overjoyed and shouted loudly.

"it is good!"

Ah Qing, Tieguai Li, Zhongli Quan, Bai Suzhen, Sa Tianshi and others were cheered up and quickly injected vast spiritual power into the Kunlun Mirror.

"It's his mother's fault!"

Chi You roared wildly, gathering his soul power and blasting at the white light of the Kunlun Mirror: "With a broken mirror and a few rubbish, you want to imprison my soul?"

The white light flashed violently in the air and involuntarily left Chi You's brows, as if it would roll back at any time.

"I have seen it! Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi is also restricted by the laws of nature and cannot display his magical powers. He is just a weak person."

"Although you were lucky enough to defeat me today, you are still unable to kill me."

Chi You's eyes flashed with a murderous bloodshot light: "When this family shows up again, it will be the day of the destruction of this world!"

"Oops!"

Zhongli Quan's expression changed drastically: "This fellow's spirit is too strong and his cultivation is too high. Even the Kunlun Mirror can't do anything to him."

"Hahaha! What's a mere Kunlun Mirror?"

Chi You laughed loudly and said, "Even if the Queen Mother's lowly servant came, I would not take her seriously."

"Is it?"

The heaven and earth shook, and a vague and arrogant female voice came from the Kunlun Mirror: "How dare a mere half-baked witch god speak disrespectfully to this emperor?"

"Ok?"

The next moment, a golden light burst out from the Kunlun Mirror, and pierced into the mud ball between Chi You's eyebrows like a rotten wood.

As the golden light shone, Chi You's soul was involuntarily pulled out of his body and appeared in the void.

"This... is this the most wonderful energy of Xihua?"

Chi You's eyes showed a look of astonishment, and he struggled hard: "Impossible... Impossible! How can you beat someone!"

"Chi You is a body of heavenly soul and earthly spirit. If the two are combined, unless a great being intervenes to change his fate, he will indeed be immortal."

“So I sealed his heavenly soul into the mirror. After Master Lin killed Chi You, I sealed his earthly soul with your sword.”

The Queen Mother of the West said in a vague voice: "The spirits of heaven and earth will no longer appear, and you humans can live in peace."

The next moment, amid Chi You's screams, golden light suddenly exploded, cutting Chi You's soul into two.

The golden light suddenly rolled up, carrying half of Chi You's soul back into the Kunlun Mirror.

"Thank you, Queen Mother Yuanjun!" Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi smiled slightly and bowed towards the Kunlun Mirror.

"Today, the laws of nature are unpredictable, and the laws of humanity are uncertain. We, the Heavenly Emperor and the Human Emperor, are only fighting for a glimmer of hope."

The Queen Mother of the West’s voice became smaller and smaller until there was complete silence.

"Roar!"

At this moment, Chi You roared like a beast and kept swinging the bloody blade in his hand, as if he had lost his mind.

The movement that maintains the body is called soul, and the stillness that calms the body is called spirit.

In other words, the soul is yang energy, which constitutes human thinking ability.

Po is the yin energy that constitutes the human sensory form.

Even though Chi You had lost his heavenly soul, his mental state was severely damaged and he could only fight by instinct for a short period of time.

"This, this, this..."

Tieguai Li heaved a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his temples: "Is all this part of Queen Mother Yuanjun's plan?"

"The Great Lord sent us down before, and he probably had some ideas."

Zhongli Quan whispered, "Tell me, old cripple, which of the two of them has a higher level of cultivation?"

"They are taller than you anyway..."

Tieguai Li knocked Zhongli Quan and said, "Don't commit suicide!"

"Oh, yes, yes!"

Zhongli Quan covered his head and nodded repeatedly.

"Use the power of humanity to suppress the earth's spirit?"

Lin Xuan looked at Emperor Xuanyuan Huang: "In this way, it can be considered as leaving him a glimmer of hope?"

"Chi You is a descendant of Shennong, so he is half human."

Xuanyuan Huangdi's voice was somewhat vague: "The future is unpredictable. If there is a catastrophe in the heavens, maybe we will have the chance to join forces with Chiyou. It would be better to leave him a glimmer of hope."

"I understand."

Lin Xuan nodded and pointed the Human Emperor Sword at the crazy Chi You.

"Sir, shall we kill him together?"

Huang Rong and Ah Qing held swords side by side and looked towards Lin Xuan.

“It’s quite ceremonial…”

Lin Xuan smiled slightly: "Okay!"

Three long swords simultaneously burst out with light that illuminated the heaven and earth, and slashed towards Chi You.

The blood is soaring to the sky!
[Chiyou's spirit has been suppressed in the Human Emperor Sword. It is determined that Chiyou has been killed. The ultimate challenge has been completed. ]

[The reversal degree of destiny in this plane exceeds 200, and the main task three has been perfectly completed. 】

[The Reincarnator has obtained a total of 4000 points of Reincarnation Experience. The Reincarnator is currently at level 31 (4000/5000).]

[It is determined that the main tasks have been completed, and the reincarnator can choose to return to the original plane, or be forced to return at the end of the copy time. 】

[Note: Before returning, it may still cause illness, serious injury or even death. Reincarnators are advised to carefully weigh subsequent actions. 】

"There is one iron-eating beast left. Shall we kill it?"

Seeing that the space judgment had completed the ultimate challenge, Huang Rong felt relieved and pointed at the panda with its butt sticking out.

Huang Rong should be bound to this plane in the future, and the authority to return will not mean much to her.

But precisely because of being bound to this plane, Huang Rong felt it necessary to clear up the hidden dangers as soon as possible.

Don't look back. Lin Xuan has left. Another powerful demon has come...

Then it would be like crying out to heaven and earth for help, but no one would help.

"Hey! I'm just passing by, please don't be so violent, Queen!"

The panda was horrified and said quickly: "Emperor Xuanyuan, you know me. I don't kill..."

"You iron-eating beast..., please..."

Emperor Xuanyuan was also somewhat speechless: "Have you fulfilled your oath?"

"Having helped Boss Chiyou so many times, I can now consider this as repaying the favor."

The panda wiggled his buttocks and said, "I have just thought about it. I will go back to the countryside and build a small garden, plant bamboos in it, and live a fairy-like life."

"When the demon race was destroyed in the past, the two emperors, Fuxi and Shennong, led the human race to wipe out the remaining demons in the three realms."

"But when it came to the Iron-Eating Beast, Emperor Shennong investigated for a long time and could not find that the demon god had done anything against heaven and earth, so he spared the Iron-Eating Beast's life."

"This iron-eating beast was grateful for the kindness of Emperor Yan, so it volunteered to serve as a mount for his descendants, and it was none other than Chi You, the leader of the Nine Li."

Emperor Xuanyuan sighed: "This iron-eating beast is stupid, but it is not a vicious beast, so let's spare its life."

"Yeah, I didn't do anything bad, don't kill me!"

The panda said quickly: "I am very strong. If you can't bear it, I will pull the millstone for you for ten or eight years. I guarantee that I am much stronger than a donkey."

"Brother Lin..."

Huang Rong was speechless for a while and looked at Lin Xuan.

"Since Emperor Xuanyuan is pleading for you, you should stay."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "You don't need to pull the millstone anymore. If you encounter any problems in the future, just help out and there will be enough bamboo."

Although this iron-eating beast is a bit mysterious, it doesn't seem to have any bad deeds. It chews bamboo and catches a few bamboo rats when it has nothing to do. It is considered a breath of fresh air in Chiyou's team.

He has good strength and a docile personality, so it's okay to keep him...

Anyway, this thing's combat power isn't much stronger than Bai Suzhen's.

It's still within controllable range.

"Ahhh, it's a deal!"

The panda thought about it and nodded quickly: "I think there's plenty of bamboo!"

"This is natural."

Lin Xuan patted the panda's shoulder and looked at Emperor Xuanyuan Huang: "Your Majesty, are you not in a hurry to leave?"

"I should be able to stay for half a day. What's the matter?"

"Although my wife's status as the empress was enhanced by Xuannv, Xuannv is now somewhat..."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "Since your majesty is here, and my wife just killed the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, after we enter the city, we will dare to hold another ceremony under your majesty's banner, which can be regarded as seeking the name of orthodoxy."

"...You're planning this on me?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Yellow Emperor."

Huang Rong's eyes flashed and she bowed down gracefully.

"The emperor now is indeed different from when we were there..."

Emperor Xuanyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "With your contribution just now, it's okay for me to sell my face, but I can't force you to abdicate."

"It's all right, the Emperor of Song will definitely abdicate voluntarily in a moment."

"...That's fine."

Song Huizong: “…”

***
After several hours of chasing and fighting outside the city of Bianjing, only one hundred Jin troops survived.

Wanyan Wuqimai and Wanyan Yinshuke were killed on the spot.

After Huang Rong accepted the surrender of Song Huizong, she completely took control of the original Northern Song Dynasty power and launched a full-scale counterattack against the Jin soldiers.

He also found famous generals of later generations such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, promoted them on the spot and entrusted them with important tasks.

After holding out for about two months, Wanyan Zonghan led the western army to surrender.

Wanyan Zongbing managed to escape with 3,000 remaining soldiers, and met Yue Fei's headquarters, who were in high spirits after hearing about the great victory.

This pair of former enemies did not fight repeatedly as they had done in history.

Instead, it was Yue Fei's clean and powerful shot that blew off Wanyan Zongbing's head.

At that time, Chao Gai, Song Jiang, Wu Yong and others had already broken through the border, recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and cut off the retreat of the Jin army.

Yue Fei then led a large army, attacked the heartland of the Jin Kingdom through the Yanyun area, and destroyed its country.

To some extent, it also realized his dream of "attacking Huanglong" in another time and space.

At this point, the prototype of an extremely large empire has taken shape.

Considering Yue Fei's consistently good reputation, and also considering that Lu Zhishen and others were not interested.

After Lin Xuan discussed with Huang Rong, he ordered Yue Fei to guard the land of Baishan and Heishui for generations to serve as a shield for the country.

Yue Fei thanked him gladly and did not say anything more.

During the confrontations between the Song, Liao and Western Xia dynasties, the southern Jiaozhi Kingdom grew quietly and constantly invaded and encroached on the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Decades ago, Jiaozhi even took the opportunity to capture Yongzhou, Guangxi, and massacred the city, killing nearly 60,000 soldiers and civilians.

At this time, the ruler of Jiaozhi heard the outdated news that the Jin Kingdom had invaded the northern border.

In ecstasy, the ruler of Jiaozhi personally led an army of 100,000 to attack the southeastern states, slaughtering the people along the way.

Huang Rong was furious and sent Han Shizhong, Lu Junyi, Zhu Wu and others to lead a large army to fight.

Half a year later, Han Shizhong led his army to capture the capital of Jiaozhi, destroyed the country, abolished its royal family, and renamed the area "Jiaozhou".

Huang Rong, who treated civil officials and military generals equally, promoted Han Shizhong to the position of Minister of War, in charge of military affairs.

***
three years later
Today, the world is at peace, the country is prosperous, and it is a prosperous era with flowers blooming.

In addition to Western Xia, Uighur, Goryeo and even Tubo were also completely vassalized.

Just like Jiaozhou, Dongying was incorporated into the territory of Liang State and was called Yingzhou.

At this point, the vastness of Liang's territory and the happiness index of its people have far surpassed those of previous dynasties.

Huang Rong, who was full of ulterior motives, carried out a subtle cultural invasion of these countries.

During the trade, a large number of books, paintings, and even various folk craftsmen, artists, and failed scholars who had nothing to do were deliberately transported...

By the time these kings discovered something was wrong, the nobles throughout the country were already proud of performing Han rituals, wearing Han costumes, and drinking tea and discussing poetry.

With no other options, these vassal states could only reluctantly express their gratitude to Huang Rong.

By the way, they followed suit and started the imperial examination...

The "Spring Examination" and "Autumn Examination" held every three years are also extremely lively.

[The reincarnation of Luo Zhenren has been found and enlightened, and the side quest "Daoist Immortal" has been completed. 】

[The reincarnator gains a total of 2000 points of reincarnation experience. The reincarnator is currently at level 32 (1000/5000), with strength +500, physical strength +500, skill +500, and spirit +500. 】

"I never thought that Lao Luo's reincarnation would worship Yuwen Tuo as his master, and his enlightenment was finally completed with the help of this mirror."

Huang Rong exhaled: "If this mission is delayed for a few more days, you will all have to return."

"Yeah, I was planning to give up..."

Ah Qing said smilingly: "Speaking of which, that mirror is quite powerful. I have fought with him three times and got some inspiration from him. He should be able to be a good master."

"After all, it is the sacred weapon of the Queen Mother of the West. It can be considered as a mutual achievement between Wang Chongyang and me."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "This mission is indeed very urgent. We should leave in the evening. I originally planned to go with the flow."

In the past few years, he has also taken time to talk with Wang Chongyang several times, but although Wang is very talented, he is obviously not suitable for Lin Xuan's path, and he always lacks some opportunities to achieve enlightenment.

A few months ago, Yuwen Tuo and Wang Chongyang met by chance, and they got along very well.

After these days, I actually managed to complete the task, which was a pleasant surprise.

As this dungeon is becoming more and more hellish, having one more level is quite useful.

"You're leaving at night..."

"The time limit of the reincarnation space is limited, and I can't stay for a few more days."

Lin Xuan shrugged: "Don't worry, Qing'er and I are both immortals after all, we will find a way to come and see you in the future."

"I'm not worried about that..."

Huang Rong blinked her eyes: "There is still a lot of time left. I can wear the dragon robe."

“You’ve worn it before.”

"Ah, this... Then Qing'er can come too. Her imperial master robe is very charming."

Huang Rong blinked her eyes: "We haven't been together yet, right?"

"It's a bit of a waste of time..."

"Just tell me if it's fun or not."

"..."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment: "Have you discussed it?"

"I don't know what Sister Huang meant. She actually asked me to wear that robe and make it so formal..."

Ah Qing was looking forward to it: "But Sister Huang said it was fun, so I agreed."

“…It’s quite fun.”

Lin Xuan laughed and shook his head: "Let's go together, your sister Huang is always afraid of losing to others."

"What are we going to play?"

"You'll know in a minute."

Ah Qing: "???"
