Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 249: Carrying mountains to catch up with the sun

Lin Yuan's eyes were like torches as he stared at the hellish scene of the world, his heart burning with rage.

He flashed and instantly appeared high in the sky, his body radiating light, and his powerful aura surged outwards like a raging tide.

"Tengu, come out!"

Lin Yuan roared, his voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

In an instant, a gigantic celestial dog, radiating a chilling light, appeared out of thin air.

The celestial dog howled to the sky, its voice seemingly able to penetrate one's soul and stir up the wind and clouds.

Its eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, like two burning blood moons, exuding endless majesty and ferocity.

Lin Yuan raised his hand and pointed at the ten golden crows that were swaggering on the Jianmu tree in the wilderness of Duguang. His eyes were filled with anger and determination as he shouted:

"You ten wicked beasts! When heaven and earth were first established, all living things should have lived in harmony and in their proper places."

Now that Gonggong has broken the pillar of heaven, disasters are rampant in the world, and the people are suffering terribly.

Yet, in this time of crisis, you recklessly unleash the true fire of the sun, turning the human world into a purgatory.

Have you seen the earth cracked, the rivers dried up, and countless creatures struggling in agony under your scorching heat, only to perish?

The forests were burned, the towns were reduced to ruins, cries of despair filled the air, and lamentations echoed everywhere—all this is the result of your atrocities!

"Today, I will never allow you to continue to wreak havoc on the world!"

Lin Yuan's voice resonated powerfully, like rolling thunder, echoing continuously between heaven and earth.

The celestial dog beside him could no longer contain itself. Its limbs were slightly bent, ready to pounce. Every hair on its body stood on end, each one seemingly containing immense power. It was just waiting for Lin Yuan's command to charge towards the ten golden crows.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's angry rebuke, the ten golden crows' originally dazzling light suddenly froze, then instantly surged again, their bodies engulfed in flames that scorched the surrounding air with a crackling sound.

They all raised their proud heads and looked at the celestial dog in the sky that emitted a cold, eerie light. There was no fear in their eyes; instead, their eyes burned with flames of anger and resentment.

The pursuit by the celestial dog once left them with unforgettable painful memories.

Back then, they were chased around by the celestial dog, their dignity utterly destroyed.

But now, their strength is vastly different from what it used to be.

Not only did he gain a deeper understanding and application of the True Fire of the Sun that he controlled, but he also learned many exquisite spells and combat techniques from Di Jun.

At this moment, they believed they possessed enough power to contend with everything, and were no longer the few creatures that could be bullied by the Tengu.

"quack!"

The lead golden crow let out a sharp cry, its voice filled with provocation and disdain.

With a flap of its wings, the flames instantly transformed into sharp blades, hurtling towards the Heavenly Dog and Lin Yuan.

Seeing this, the other nine golden crows also responded. They circled around the Jianmu tree, their flames intertwining to form a huge vortex of fire, engulfing the entire Duguang Plain in a sea of ​​blazing flames.

As the golden crows danced, the vortex of flames expanded continuously, and the energy contained within became increasingly terrifying. Wherever it went, space was scorched and distorted, emitting bursts of "sizzling" sounds.

"We were chased and fled in a sorry state by you back then, today is the day we wash away our shame!"

A golden crow let out an angry roar, and the flames around it instantly became even more violent, transforming into a huge fire dragon that lunged at the celestial dog with bared fangs and claws.

Seeing the Golden Crows launch a fierce counterattack, Lin Yuan curled up a cold smile, a smile full of contempt for their overestimation of their abilities.

Just as the fiery blades hurtled towards him, his body flashed with light, and in an instant, three avatars identical to him appeared out of thin air.

These avatars are identical to Lin Yuan's original body, radiating a powerful and chilling aura, each seemingly containing the power to change the world.

Lin Yuan's true form had sharp, eagle-like eyes, and he had somehow already grasped the three-pointed, double-edged spear in his hand.

The gun gleamed coldly.

He moved like lightning, disappearing from his spot in an instant, and reappeared in front of a golden crow.

Before the golden crow could react, it was suppressed by Lin Yuan with overwhelming force.

The tip of the three-pointed, double-edged spear gleamed with a chilling light, pressing against the Golden Crow's neck, rendering it immobile. It could only flap its wings in vain, emitting cries of terror.

The incarnation of the Mountain-Driving Whip stood on the clouds, suddenly waving the long whip in his hand.

The whip drew an arc in the air, making a crisp "snap" sound, and the air trembled wherever it went.

As the whip fell, a majestic mountain in the distance was pulled by an invisible force and slowly moved towards them.

The mountain was majestic and imposing, with jagged rocks and lush trees, yet driven by this force, it resembled a tamed beast, pressing down directly on a golden crow.

The golden crow watched in terror as the mountain pressed down on it, trying to spread its wings to escape, but found that the space around it seemed to be frozen, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape the mountain's embrace.

Finally, with a muffled thud, the mountain pressed down heavily on the Golden Crow, raising clouds of dust and smoke that completely buried it.

The embodiment of wielding a mountain-splitting axe represents a different, fierce fighting style.

He wielded a massive mountain-splitting axe, its blade gleaming with a cold light. With each swing, a sharp gust of wind swept through the air, shattering the surrounding atmosphere.

The golden crow that he had his eye on fled in all directions as he pursued it.

Wherever the golden crow passed, flames flew, but it could not stop the incarnation's footsteps.

The axe, which had transformed into a ghost, followed closely behind, relentlessly slashing at the Golden Crow with its mountain-splitting axe. Each strike carried a world-destroying force, forcing the Golden Crow to run for its life, utterly powerless to retaliate.

The embodiment of the sun-fixing needle, surrounded by its body, stands high in the sky.

The sun-fixing needles surrounding him shone brightly, transforming into streaks of light that shot towards a golden crow.

Wherever the sundial needle touched, space was instantly frozen, and time seemed to stand still.

Under the light of the sun-fixing needle, the golden crow was instantly frozen in place, suspended in the air, unable to move.

Its eyes were filled with fear and despair as it tried to break free, only to find that its strength was so insignificant in the face of this mysterious binding force.

Just as Lin Yuan was about to use further methods to completely subdue the ten golden crows, he suddenly received a strange spacetime information in his mind.

In an instant, his consciousness seemed to be drawn into an invisible time tunnel, flowing and turning within it.

In that hazy and mysterious spacetime, he saw a scene:
He should command the mountains to suppress all ten golden crows, and then wait for a being named Da Yi to appear.

The great Yi, wielding a divine bow and possessing extraordinary archery skills, will appear at the crucial moment to shoot down the ten suns that are afflicting humanity with his divine arrows.

"Da Yi's destiny?" Lin Yuantian opened his Heavenly Eye, and a beam of causal light shot out from it, like a sharp blade that pierced through time and the fog of cause and effect.

Under the illumination of this mysterious light, detailed information about Da Yi flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.

Da Yi was merely the ruler of a divine kingdom. Although he possessed considerable strength and exceptional archery skills, in Lin Yuan's eyes, he was far from being capable of undertaking the task of slaying the sun.

"Da Yi is merely a ruler of a relatively powerful divine kingdom. This feat of slaying the sun should rightfully belong to me!"

Lin Yuan pondered to himself, a resolute glint in his eyes.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Yuan's aura suddenly surged, and powerful energy waves swept outwards in all directions like a raging tsunami.

With a flick of the whip, the distant mountains seemed to be summoned by some mysterious force and began to tremble violently.

One after another, majestic mountains slowly rose from the ground, with soil and rocks flying around them and trees being uprooted.

Lin Yuan infused the power of the Sun-Stabilizing Needle into it, endowing each mountain with unparalleled suppressive power.

Driven by Lin Yuan, those mountains, like ancient giants, rushed towards the direction where the golden crows were.

Upon seeing this, the golden crows finally revealed a look of fear in their originally arrogant eyes.

They flapped their wings frantically, trying to break free from their predicament, but whether they were suppressed by Lin Yuan's main body or trapped by his various avatars, they could not escape at this moment.

"How dare you! If you suppress us today, Father God will never let you go!"

A golden crow emitted a sharp threat, its voice revealing an undisguised fear.

Lin Yuan ignored this, his gaze unwavering, directing the mountain to continue its advance.

The first mountain fell down, crashing heavily onto a golden crow and instantly burying it under the earth and rocks.

Then, the second, the third... mountains fell one after another, and amidst the desperate cries of the golden crows, all ten golden crows were suppressed.

The once scorching hot, flame-covered plains of Tohiro are now occupied by ten mountains, leaving only desolation and dust.

Lin Yuan stood on the cloud, looking down at everything.

He keenly sensed that an invisible yet powerful force of heaven and earth was quietly gathering, like an invisible high wall blocking his path to personally slay the Nine Suns.

Every subtle movement seemed to touch the sensitive nerves of this power, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to tremble, as if foreshadowing that once he truly took that step, it would inevitably trigger a great crisis that could shake the heavens and the earth.

"Di Jun?"

Lin Yuan muttered to himself, his gaze deep and cold.

He knew in his heart that this chaos in the world should have been ended by Da Yi according to the predetermined fate, and Da Yi should have borne the overwhelming hatred for killing the nine suns.

Now that he has forcibly intervened and changed this process, it will inevitably cause many variables. Behind this, it is very likely that Di Jun is secretly manipulating the power of heaven and earth, trying to maintain some kind of established order, or rather, to protect his own interests.

"It doesn't matter. Although Di Jun is strong, he wouldn't dare to attack me directly, since he's the one in the wrong!"

A resolute glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. Since he had decided to end this calamity with his own hands, he would never back down because of this obstacle.

In his view, even though Di Jun was incredibly powerful and controlled immense forces, under this clear and bright world, right and wrong would be judged by public opinion.

Di Jun was already in the wrong for allowing the Golden Crow to wreak havoc on the human world, causing immense suffering and death. If he were to rashly attack me, it would inevitably provoke dissatisfaction and interference from other powerful figures.

Just as Lin Yuan's thoughts were churning, a clear, slightly anxious shout came from the distant horizon:

"stop!"

Lin Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a dazzling light streak across the sky, like a brilliant shooting star, hurtling towards them.

As the light drew closer, Lin Yuan recognized the newcomer as the Sun Goddess Xihe.

Xihe radiated a soft and warm light, like a moving little sun. Her hair danced wildly in the wind, and her beautiful eyes were filled with fierceness as she stared intently at Lin Yuan, as if she wanted to pierce through him with her gaze.

Her figure was light yet carried an undeniable majesty. With each step closer, the surrounding temperature subtly rose, but this temperature was not as scorching and violent as that of the Golden Crow; instead, it carried a gentle and soothing power.

In the blink of an eye, Xihe arrived in front of Lin Yuan. She hovered in the air, looking at Lin Yuan, her chest heaving violently, clearly having rushed all the way and was extremely anxious.

Xihe looked at the golden crow suppressed by the mountain before her, her eyes filled with pity, and her tone carried a hint of pleading:

"Erlang, please spare my children. They were just indulging in play for a while."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh:
"Indulging in pleasure? My Duguang Plains are now less than one-tenth of its inhabitants remain, and all living beings in the world have suffered calamities because of them. How can you release them just because you say so!?"

The once vibrant wilderness of Duguang has now become a hellish landscape, with the land scorched, rivers dried up, and countless people displaced and suffering heavy casualties, all because of the reckless actions of the Golden Crows.

In Lin Yuan's view, Xi He's casual remark about "indulging in pleasure" could not excuse the evil deeds of the Golden Crows.

Upon hearing this, Xihe's expression darkened slightly, and she was momentarily speechless.

She was well aware of the immense disaster the Golden Crows had brought to the world, but as a mother, she could hardly bear to watch her child suffer such misfortune.

However, before she could even gather her words to plead for him, Lin Yuan gave her no chance.

In an instant, a huge golden bow appeared in Lin Yuan's hand, its bowstring made of silver silk threads, radiating a cold yet dazzling light.

He stood steadily, like a towering mountain standing in the void, holding a bow in his left hand and swiftly nocking an arrow with his right, his movements fluid and seamless.

The arrow was shimmering with strange runes, each rune seemingly containing earth-shattering power. As the runes flowed, the surrounding space was distorted.

Lin Yuan's eyes were sharp as he locked onto a golden crow suppressed by the mountain, his gaze showing no hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he drew back the bowstring sharply, the bow was full, the arrow was on the string, ready to be released.

With a deep and powerful "whoosh," the arrow was released from the bow, transforming into a dazzling light as it hurtled toward its target at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Wherever the arrow passed, space was torn open with a narrow rift, and the air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell. The powerful force stirred up the surrounding air currents into chaos.

The power of this arrow was terrifying. Although the golden crow that was locked on was suppressed by the mountain, it still felt the threat of death and struggled desperately to try to escape.

However, it was all in vain.

The arrow pierced through layers of soil and rocks in an instant, striking the golden crow with pinpoint accuracy.

A piercing scream tore through the sky, and the golden crow's body exploded instantly under the powerful impact, turning into a dazzling ball of fire before dissipating into nothingness.

Xihe watched helplessly as her child was shot to death before her eyes, and she was completely stunned.
