"Not good!"
"We're being attacked from both sides."
"Are we really going to lose the defense?"
The people on Earth were worried again.
This situation was really a situation where one wave had yet to subside, another wave had arisen.
The navy of Dragon City was already struggling to deal with a large number of alien races and sea monsters in the sea.
Now, there were new aliens in the river behind them. They stirred up waves and lured countless aquatic creatures to charge at the final defense line of Dragon City's navy from the back.
Being attacked from both sides, the navy of Dragon City might really be wiped out in the battle against the mermaids and mermen!
Boom!
Exactly at this moment, the wide river suddenly exploded, and something rose to the sky from the bottom of the river.
It was a figure with the body of an ape. Its head and neck were a hundred feet long, and it had a white head and a green body. It wore a fiery-red armor that was lined with gold, and its face was covered with thick fur. Its eyes were like lightning, the Eyes of Fire and Gold!
"Sun Wukong!"
"Almighty Monkey King!"
At the sight of this mighty and domineering figure, many people on Earth had already cried out in surprise.
"Roar!"
The ape, whose eyes were emitting golden light, kept growing in size in the air. By the time it fell back into the sea, it had already reached a height of 100 meters. A pair of arms covered in thick fur furiously grabbed at the rolling waves in front of it.
Then, it clenched its fists and split them into two.
Whoosh!
The enormous tides that were hundreds of meters long and more than ten meters tall were torn into halves by the enormous claws.
It was similar to how the Leshan Giant Buddha blocked the nuclear tide with its palm, but it was even more bloody and brutal!
After that, the giant ape with the Fiery Eyes of Truth clenched its claws towards the center, and the two waves were compressed towards the center by an invisible force, becoming smaller and smaller. Tens of thousands of aquatic creatures were completely squeezed into a mixture of flesh and blood under the tremendous pressure.
Even a Transcendent alien in the form of a crocodile couldn't resist the pressure. After it was flattened, it turned into a meatball with countless fish and shrimps. The giant ape grabbed a handful of it and tossed it into its mouth that was full of tusks.
Pew!
It bit down, and blood flowed out along its fur!
"Hiss, why do I feel that the Monkey King is a bit weird?"
"That's right. Why is he so brutal?"
"Isn't Monkey King supposed to be a golden monkey? This one looks like a white-headed langur! "
However, there were also people who felt that something was amiss.
"What's so strange about it? Isn't your Sun Wukong like this? "
"The Sun Wukong in your hearts is actually the result of beautification by later generations. In fact, the Sun Wukong in the original 'Journey to the West' is a ferocious man-eating beast. It's all because of the Buddhist scriptures that were passed from our country that the hostility in your people's hearts was purified. "
Some people from Sandia who knew Chidragon's language posted on the forum.
"Bullsh * t. The personalities and images of the characters on the Land of Inheritance are based on the cognition of most people in the civilization. To us, Sun Wukong is an indomitable and unruly warrior. It's impossible for him to be like this … "
"That's right. I've watched the live broadcast of Sun Wukong's arrival. He didn't look like this at all."
"This is not Sun Wukong. It should be the original form of Sun Wukong recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas — Wu Zhiqi!"
An expert who was proficient in China's ancient culture made his own judgment.
[Wuzhiqi]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-6]
[Rarity: Legendary]
[Description: Wuzhiqi was an ancient great demon born on Mount Huaguo in southern Henan. He was born to be a divine monkey with a neck that was a hundred feet long and stronger than nine elephants. When Yu the Great was governing the Huai River, Wuzhiqi caused trouble and was suppressed!]
[Note: Wuzhiqi once unified the Longjiang River and led a hundred thousand sea creatures to attack Dragon City. It was defeated by the City Master of Dragon City and surrendered. It signed a contract with the City Master and became his general.]
Yes, Wuzhiqi, not Sun Wukong.
As a famous water demon of the Huai River in history and the creature that was most likely to be the original form of Sun Wukong, according to the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
After submitting to Ji Ye, Wuzhiqi became the god of the Dragon River that ran through the entire Dragon City. According to the strategy department of Dragon City, it was supposed to be a surprise attack against the sea creatures.
Now that the situation was dire, and aliens were coming from the river under its control, it joined the battle in fury!
Boom, boom, boom …
However, it was different from the battle on the other side of the sea.
Although there were a lot of water monsters in the river, they were all Ordinary. Although there were a lot of them, they posed little threat to Transcendent creatures!
"Gululu …"
Wuzhiqi, on the other hand, jumped out of the water.
Following that, a large group of Extraordinary shrimp and crab soldiers, turtle ministers, and flood dragon concubines dashed out of the water as if they were boiling sesame dumplings.
This was because, as the River God of this river, and his true form was a great demon in chaos, Wu Zhiqi had already subdued all the Extraordinary Demon General-level aquatic creatures in the entire river before this battle!
As for the demon kings above the Transcendent level …
How could the people of Chidragon, who were famous for their gluttony, waste such food that could significantly enhance one's vitality?
Because of that, as the only king of the river, Wuzhiqi put on a ferocious expression and his eyes glowed when he saw the Transcendent creatures that came out of the water.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
Roaring nonstop, Wu Zhiqi fought dozens of Transcendent giant crocodiles alone. Although the alien species that resembled the giant crocodiles had scales that could vibrate at a high frequency like particle knives and left wounds on Wu Zhiqi's body, almost as soon as the wounds were inflicted, they were quickly healed by streaks of silver light.
The "healing" ability was acquired after it made a contract with Ji Ye.
At this moment, Ji Ye's healing talent had been further improved, and he could even heal his contracted creatures remotely.
As an ancient demon, Wuzhiqi was cruel and bloodthirsty. With the healing ability, he didn't care about his own life at all.
The more he killed, the more courageous he became. The river was dark, and the water reached a radius of 15 kilometers.
"That's impressive. I'm afraid that he's not much weaker than the real Sun Wukong!"
"So far, the master of Dragon City hasn't joined the battle yet. He only sent out one of his contracted creatures, and he's already stopped an alien race. How strong is he exactly?"
"That's hard to say. Some people's talent abilities are related to contracts, but they're not very strong in a head-on battle!"
Seeing that, the players from other settlements who had returned to Earth to watch the battle discussed among themselves.
"I don't know if he's strong, but I'm sure of one thing!"
"Even if this monkey is powerful, Dragon City won't be able to escape defeat without reinforcements from the other strongholds."
A beta tester said solemnly.
Even though the Primitive Sun Wukong had stopped the alien crocodiles from the river, the aliens in the ocean were still attacking fiercely.
However, the attacks of the foreign races in the sea were getting fiercer and fiercer, and the third line of defense was about to collapse.
It must be noted that not far behind the third defense line was a sub-settlement with more than 200,000 people. If the navy of Dragon City failed, the 200,000 people would probably die with them. Even with the hyperspace teleportation technology, it was impossible to teleport so many people in a short time!
However, speaking of hyperspace teleportation technology …
Hum!
Exactly at this moment, the white light that represented hyperspace teleportation flashed in the sky above the battlefield, and several people appeared!
The person in the lead had a broad figure, and he wore a black and gold official robe. His skin was dark, and his eyes were shining with divine light. There was a crescent moon mark between his brows, and his aura was awe-inspiring and inviolable.
"Huh? Why does this guy look familiar?"
"A crescent-shaped birthmark? Is he …?"
"Lord Bao?"
"Justice Bao!"
With such an obvious feature, the Chidragon people who were watching the battle recognized him at first glance.
"According to the second law of Dragon City, whoever kills human beings in Dragon City will be executed!"
Bao Zheng, who was wearing the official robe, glared at them, and the crescent-shaped mark on his forehead glittered. His voice wasn't loud, but it echoed on the battlefield.
Although the aliens couldn't understand human language, they could clearly sense the message that was delivered through the mind.
Then, they simply ignored it.
Instead, they urged a lot of sea creatures to attack the third defense line that was already in danger at the cost of their own lives!
"Guard Zhan, please summon the emperor!"
Facing the actions of these foreign tribes, Bao Zheng's eyes glowed brightly as he yelled out.
"Yes, sir!"
Behind Bao Zheng …
There were also a few Transcendent guards who were holding weapons and guards of honor.
One of them had a squarish face, sword-like eyebrows, and an imposing appearance. He wore a tall red hat and was dressed like a swordsman. In his left hand, he held an extremely large longsword.
He raised a box with golden dragon patterns in his right hand that seemed to be made of both gold and jade.
Hum!
Dazzling golden light emanated from the box, and an imperial edict that had a paragraph and a golden-red "Ji" character on it flew out.
A tremendous amount of power of providence was attached to the imperial edict. It condensed into small five-clawed golden dragons and auspicious clouds that floated in the sky like a small sun!
"An imperial edict?"
"Haha, these Dragon City people are funny."
In the Sea King Plaza in Sakura, several high-level players of the One Piece settlement looked rather weird.
They felt that they had been slapped in the face because Mazu had saved so many combatants, but now, they began to sneer again.
"Items such as imperial edicts from ancient dynasties have special powers on the Land of Inheritance, just like the four arts. However, the problem is that imperial edicts are only effective on human beings, and they won't be as effective on aliens … This reminds me of a line from a Chidragon movie, in which someone kills an official of the current dynasty with the sword of the previous dynasty …"
The short and fat player with evil eyebrows and crooked eyes spoke in an extremely eccentric tone as he chewed on the grapes that the maid brought to him with her mouth.
"Shoot!"
However, in the next moment, his triangular eyes suddenly widened.
"Let's go to court!"
In the sky, after summoning the imperial edict, Bao Zheng waved his long robe.
Hum!
The imperial edict in the sky suddenly emanated dazzling golden light.
It covered Bao Zheng, Zhan Zhao, and the four Transcendent guards as well as a large area around them.
In the blink of an eye, the outline of a building that looked like an ancient government hall was outlined. In the middle of the hall, which was dozens of meters tall, there was a huge dark red table. On the left side of the table was a gavel and a book with a black cover. On the right side were three black, red, and gold tokens!
At the top of the hall, there was a black plaque with three blurry words written on it.
"Huh, the court in ancient times shouldn't have four words, such as' Bright Mirror Hangs High 'or' Just and Honorable '. Why is this plaque with three words?"
On Earth, many people widened their eyes, but they still couldn't see the three words clearly.
When Bao Zheng said "let's go to court", most people thought that it was similar to the ancient court in dramas or TV dramas.
However, the hall that appeared in the sky …
Not just the regular court in ancient times, even the court in the central government couldn't compare to it.
Moreover, not only did the environment change, but the people who were covered by the golden light also changed.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's tight clothes turned into black and white robes, and they held mourning sticks and shackles in their hands.
Two hats, one black and one white, appeared on their heads. One said "Fortune at First Sight", and the other said "World Peace".
As for Wang Chao and Ma Han, their clothes had transformed into large beast-head armors. They held black chains in their hands, and their heads had transformed into a bull's head and a horse's head respectively. Black soulflames flickered within their eyes.
"Are they … Bull Head, Horse Face, Black and White Ghosts of Impermanence?"
"What's going on? Are they going to construct a … "
Everyone in the Chidragon culture on Earth realized something.
The "imperial edict" in the air continued to emit golden light, and the building of the main hall was still taking shape. On the left and right sides of the hall were black stone pillars that towered into the clouds, and on them were couplets that would make one's soul tremble at a glance.
"Idiots dream that there is no such thing in the netherworld. I didn't know until I came to this hall that evil comes with the soul."
"Tears, blood, salty mouth, sweet hands, don't say that there is no sea of bitterness in the world. Gold, silver, white, red eyes, and black heart, know that there is a clear sky above your head."
"You may be spared from punishment in the world of the living, but you cannot escape from the law of the dead."
"Good and evil are up to you. Rewards and punishments are up to me!"
"Pa!"
Bao Zheng, who looked as majestic as a god, walked to the back of the table and sat down. The three words on the plaque finally became clear — [Yama Palace].
It was true that the laws of human dynasties only applied to human beings, but in the ancient legends, the Yama King could judge the souls of all creatures and decide their position in the six paths of reincarnation in the next life!
Most people knew that Bao Zheng was known as the "Clear Sky", but only some of them knew that Bao Zheng was actually a demigod hero like Guan Yu and Mazu.
It was said that because he was fair and honest, he had been chosen by the heavenly court when he was still alive. Every day, he would judge the sun and the moon. After his death, he became the master of the Yama Palace, the fifth of the ten halls of hell. He was also commonly known as the Yama King!
Now that the Yama Palace had shown up, it was naturally to judge the alien races and sea creatures.
"Pa!"
The crescent moon on Bao Zheng's dark forehead flashed, and he smacked the gavel hard. His majestic voice spread across the battlefield!
"Overlord Squid, Sea King Jellyfish, Flying Fish, Shadow Fish … A total of 90,816 creatures have violated the laws of Dragon City."
"Hualala!"
The black book on the table, the Book of Life and Death, turned its pages automatically and displayed scenes in midair. They were all pictures of aquatic creatures and aliens killing or participating in the slaughter of human beings.
Bao Zheng's talent power, "Condemnation", could identify the crimes that the target had committed and distinguish whether the soul was good or evil!
It was actually not a talent ability for combat.
Because crimes could only be defined as crimes when the target had broken the law. Also, although he could identify crimes, Bao Zheng's talent couldn't punish them directly!
However, with the imperial edict that was stamped with the imperial seal, the talent could be used on the battlefield.
It was because the imperial edict and the imperial seal, the two Quasi Mythological items, had different properties. The imperial edict could create rules, while the imperial seal could bestow power.
It seemed quite simple.
However, on second thought, the two items were much more powerful than Legendary heavy treasures.
For example, on the battlefield down below, the third defense line was about to collapse under the attacks of the sea creatures.
However, if the imperial edict issued a sea restriction order, all the sea creatures that entered the territory of Dragon City would be restricted, and they wouldn't be able to use their Transcendent power.
That rule would be triggered wherever the power of providence covered the entire Dragon City.
Then, the situation of the battle would be immediately reversed.
It was even possible to issue orders to certain items or species.
For example, the Overlord Cuttlefish would die immediately, or the Transcendent heroes of Dragon City would be immune to the attacks of all sea creatures!
That could also significantly change the situation of the battlefield.
The power granted by the imperial seal was similar. It could allow an Ordinary person to master Transcendent or even Legendary power.
When the two of them were used together with "Rules + Authority", the power was as close to a real "Divine Equipment" as described.
For example, Wu Zhiqi's position as the God of Longjiang was conferred by an imperial edict that was stamped with the imperial seal!
Not everybody knew that Bao Zheng was the King of Hell, and the Land of Inheritance didn't have the complete Transcendent power of the King of Hell. The King of Hell Temple was also made with the power of the imperial edict and the imperial seal!
Of course, even a divine artifact wasn't truly invincible.
It was because even Legendary players couldn't use such a heavy artifact on their own.
Only by consuming the power of providence of the settlement and using providence as the brush and ink could one write words or leave a seal on the imperial edict.
Also, the more advanced and complicated the rule or power was, the more power of providence it would consume!
For example, the rule that all aliens would be executed the moment they entered the territory of Dragon City seemed invincible, but it was doubtlessly impossible to write such an imperial edict even if all the power of providence of Dragon City was consumed.
Of course, the rule that the Overlord Cuttlefish would die immediately was achievable.
However, the cost of the power of providence might not be as worthwhile as sending a few Legendary heroes to attack.
Therefore, the use of the two items had to be strategically planned.
After a discussion, the strategy department of Dragon City decided that they would only target some of the aliens at a time!
Because as the battle went on, Dragon City had already confirmed that the aliens were not united. Making the rule of "kill those who killed" was more meaningful to the enemy's psychological pressure.
"In fact, this advancement test isn't just a test for us. The aliens are being tested too."
Elder Meng's voice echoed in the SkyNet channel.
"According to the analysis of the strategy department, those Transcendent aliens are probably the villains among the aliens. They need to defeat Dragon City to earn the right to stay on the Land of Inheritance …"
Therefore, the aliens had needs too, which was their weakness.
After all, instead of breaking the rules themselves and risking their lives to stand out, why not wait for the other alien races to attack and whittle down Dragon City's strength so that they could watch from the sidelines and reap the benefits at the end?
Obviously, if all the non-humankind beings had the same idea, the threat that the non-humankind posed to Dragon City would disappear by itself.
