On September 17th, 315th year of the Daqing reign, a spark was ignited in the city of Qixian.
It's like lighting a match on the vast ocean; any small wave can put it out.
When more than three thousand demon soldiers rushed towards the city of Amaranth, you felt your own foolishness. This is like trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm.
"No matter how powerful a Grandmaster is, defeating an army of ten thousand is as difficult as ascending to heaven. What's more, three thousand second-rate warriors form a military formation, which is comparable to a fifty-thousand-man army. You only have two Grandmasters, and you have to protect the people of an entire city from escaping. How can you fight like this?"
[Later, you watched as a group of fierce warriors rushed out from the numb crowd. Judging from their aura alone, there were no fewer than three Grandmasters.]
[There was also one incredibly ferocious being, over two meters tall. He had probably been crouching among the crowd before, but now he stood up, swinging his two thousand-jin hammers with all his might, capable of instantly killing seven or eight demon soldiers with a single blow.]
The aloof woman, Jiang Yueli, explained that most of the powerful demons from the entire resistance organization had gathered here. They had already decided that this place was the farthest from the Demon Kingdom's center: the alien demons. Human demons wouldn't appear in such a remote place. They had to take advantage of the day when they couldn't react and quickly capture a city.
[The invincible alien demon began to slack off seven or eight years ago. In the past seven years, it has rarely left its "Holy King Palace", so the only ones who come here are other demon blood demons and higher-level human demons.]
[And in the past ten years, you have discovered a countermeasure: using your own unique skills to defeat them!]
[Use magic iron to refine divine weapons! ]
[These demons who call themselves the "Ancient Clan" have some kind of bloodline power or some other component in their bodies that is very suitable for forging divine weapons! ]
[If you take the demonic blood from the body of an ordinary demon soldier, you can forge a weapon with first-class martial arts configuration, and there is no limit to the number of weapons you can forge.]
Yunshou: "???"
What you mean is that even though I, an ordinary person, cannot defeat a top-notch master, as long as I have a weapon that can cut through iron like mud, I can go and defeat the other party?
I was afraid he would cut my hand off before I even raised it!
[The three thousand demon soldiers were quickly wiped out by the combined efforts of a group of Grandmasters. Among them, the one who contributed the most was the two-meter-tall giant.]
You learned that the other party was once a great general of the Wu Kingdom, his name was Xu Zhenwu, and he was born with the strength of a dragon and an elephant. Even without any martial arts training, a single wave of his hand could exert the force of ten thousand pounds.
[But please don't get me wrong, this doesn't mean his innate talent is ten times that of an average person. While it's not higher than an average person, it's only about two or three times higher.]
[An ordinary person who reaches first-rate martial arts can defeat two hundred of their pre-trained selves at once; however, for someone with a unique talent like "Dragon-Elephant Strength," even if they reach first-rate martial arts, their strength improvement is actually not that great.]
[Only when one reaches Grandmaster status can one's strength be several times greater than that of an ordinary person.]
Yunshou: "Wu country, military generals, dragon and elephant strength."
"Is this someone I've heard of somewhere? It's so hard to guess."
[In short, the rebels can only make a bet: bet that the Demon Lord won't arrive before they become powerful.]
[A month later, a set of magic armor was produced, and the one who put it on was Beichen Guang.]
Afterwards, the surrounding demonic blood demons mobilized their armies to annihilate the city of Amaranth. Bei Chenguang charged into the vast army alone. Wearing his demonic armor, he looked like a god of war, and he killed the three demonic blood demons in his tent.
"You're working in the rear, and honestly, it feels safer than being in the Exorcist Forest."
[In the 316th year of Daqing, you are still forging iron.]
[Years ago, a human demon attacked and shattered Xu Zhenwu's sternum with a single palm strike. The Dragon Elephant Grandmaster's power, nearly two or three times that of an ordinary Grandmaster, was unable to withstand the opponent's palm strike.]
[All the masters of the Amaranth City came out together, and Beichen Guang finally beheaded him.]
Yun Shou: "Why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a supporting role?"
In the 317th year of the Daqing era, you heard that Beichen Guang had sneaked into the Demon City and plotted to single-handedly kill a human demon!
In the 318th year of the Daqing era, you heard that Beichen Guang, for unknown reasons, had charged towards the Holy King's Palace and slashed a corner of it with a single sword strike. You were able to hear this news because he had returned alive!
He didn't know how he did it, but he survived.
[On that day, the people of Amaranth City dispersed into the plains. Shortly thereafter, several demons wiped out those who refused to leave the city.]
[Later, you heard that the Exorcist Forest was razed by a determined demon army, and tens of thousands of human remains were transported to the border, where their severed skulls were piled up to form a Jingguan.]
In the 319th year of the Daqing era, you wandered the wilderness, and pieces of magic armor and magic swords were forged. By wearing the appropriate armor, warriors could jump one level higher in battle!
[You plan to create divine armor and weapons that can be worn by the Grandmaster to fight against the alien demons.]
In the 320th year of the Daqing era, all the rebels' hidden plans are revealed, and rebellions erupt in over ten cities!
[Although many were suppressed by bloody means in a short period of time, a large amount of demon blood was also delivered to you.]
[This year, Bei Chenguang manifested a demon-slaying divine will behind him. Facing the attacking human-demon who was once a master, he did not move at all, and with only divine will he forced the human-demon to his knees.]
[20 years old, supreme grandmaster.]
This year, he donned armor and a helmet, donning a divine weapon forged with the demonic blood of a hundred thousand demonized warriors, and headed for the Holy King's Palace.
"Is this the trend of the times?" You thought to yourself that you made the right choice that day, following the trend, and not dying along the way.
[As long as Beichen Guang can win, you will be my savior for the rest of your life!]
No one knows the outcome of that battle.
[Both Beichenguang and the alien demon never appeared again.]
There are still over thirty human demons, over four thousand demon-blooded warriors, and about half a million demonized warriors left. This is the mess left before you.
[With the help of the "Demon Soldiers", the invincible Demon Kingdom forces still have the upper hand, but their elimination is only a matter of time.]
What follows will be a protracted tug-of-war.
[In the 323rd year of Daqing, you are already 68 years old. Your foundation has increased by 181% over the years, but it is still not enough to support your martial arts cultivation.]
[Your blacksmithing skills are terrifyingly high, and the utilization rate of magic blood in your hands is quite high.]
In the 325th year of Daqing, you traveled to other cities to forge iron.
In the 327th year of the Daqing era, you heard that the Demonic Kingdom was planning to negotiate peace with humans. As an anti-demon elder, you voted against it.
In the 330th year of Daqing, a generation of human warriors experienced a baptism of blood. The power of the Demonic Kingdom has retreated to one-third of its former size, with only Daqing Kingdom still under their rule.
In the 332nd year of Daqing, you discovered that Beichenguang's former female companion, Jiang Yueli, was in a state of dismay.
In the 335th year of Daqing, you are 80 years old and still in good health. You feel like you can live another 10,020 years.
In the 340th year of the Daqing era, the number of demonized warriors was less than 100,000, but there were still three dozen demon-blooded warriors comparable to grandmasters, and thirty human demons. These high-ranking officials were finally forced into a corner and began to take action frequently.
In the 342nd year of Daqing, humans and demons were in a stalemate.
In the 345th year of the Daqing era, Jiang Yueli, wearing demonic armor, ascended to Grandmaster status and fought her way to a certain demon, demanding the truth about the battle that took place over twenty years ago.
[When she returns, she will tell you the following: Beichen Guang and Yimo fought their way out of the Holy King's Palace, plowing a long trench in the earth. The two disappeared into the East China Sea...]
In the 350th year of Daqing, a demon discovered a way to refine his bloodline and reproduce, which would make the war even more protracted...
In the 355th year of Daqing, in the inland region of human power, you celebrated your 10th birthday and invited guests from all corners of the world to a banquet. Many of your disciples and followers came to pay their respects. You are the first generation of divine weapon forgers, and are now enjoying your old age.
In the 360th year of Daqing, you are 105 years old, and your foundation has increased by 218%. After practicing a few times while you're free, you finally feel a slight improvement in your cultivation.
[But you are too lazy to practice martial arts. ]
In the 368th year of Daqing, the power of the Demonic Kingdom finally collapsed, and the remaining human demons and demon-blooded people scattered in all directions.
In the 375th year of Daqing, you are 120 years old, but you think you can live another ten years. You can still walk and jump now!
In the 387th year of Daqing, you lay in bed, feeling the slow passage of life, feeling somewhat melancholy.
In the 388th year of the Daqing era, you realized your time was up, and with your martial arts skills as a martial artist, you lived to the age of 133. No one considered this a regret, considering it a happy death.
[The human kingdom held a grand funeral for you to honor the anti-demon (blacksmith) hero.]
You are dead.
