Chapter 251 Golden Totem, Tyrant Earth Dragon King

Chapter 251

The center of the Principality of Cuilan is where the former royal capital was located.

It is surrounded by many provinces, presenting a pattern of "a group of dragons guarding a pearl".

In the past, the royal capital's political decrees were transmitted to the various provinces like blood vessels, controlling the power center of the entire principality.

However, with the appearance of the terrifying golden totem, the entire kingdom was engulfed in golden light, and all order collapsed.

Today, the Principality of Cuilan exists in name only, and has been transformed into a number of independent provinces with fragmented power and disconnected government orders.

What's worse is that the Creation Society, a giant entity entrenched in various places, is frantically infiltrating all parts of the kingdom, inciting rebellions in the provinces, creating disasters, and plunging the entire country into unprecedented chaos.

On the road leading to the ruined capital, a massive army was gathering.

Flags filled the sky, armor shone like snow, and the troops stretched out in an endless stream, as if dark clouds were pressing in, blocking out the sky and the sun.

However, although this legion has a large number of people, most of them are just mortals in armor. The real core combat power comes from the alchemists mixed among them: black iron, brass, and even extremely rare silver alchemists.

In the center of the legion, Evelyn, wearing a large white robe fluttering in the wind and wrapping her delicate body tightly, was walking slowly forward.

She had a stern face and a noble aura, like a queen made of ice and snow, making people dare not look at her closely.

Besides her close associates of the Quetzalcoatl, she was surrounded by two "outsiders", Lynn and Earl Weir.

Lin En has now entered the ranks of silver alchemists. Even without considering his secret cooperation with Evelyn, this identity alone is enough to secure his second place in the entire legion.

Earl Weir, on the other hand, was in charge of commanding the mortal army and was responsible for the logistics and march deployment of the entire army.

"My Lord, I have sent people to contact the earls of other provinces," Earl Weir reported in a low voice, his tone full of respect.

"But the situation in various places is turbulent, and the Genesis Society has not yet eliminated the chaos. They are all busy with their own affairs and are temporarily unable to join our coalition forces."

When Evelin heard this, there was no fluctuation in her beautiful eyes, as if everything was already under her control.

"It's okay." She opened her red lips slightly, her voice cold and firm, "Whether they can come or not is just a show. With me and the people from the Quetzalcoatl, it's enough."

After saying this, Evelin raised her jade hand lightly, her expression calm but not to be questioned: "Let's go."

"yes!"

Count Weir quickly sent out orders.

Boom! With the sound of long horns, the iron-like army slowly set off.

The heavy boots stomped on the ground, and the metallic sounds of armor rubbing against each other merged into a deafening echo, advancing slowly towards the capital in a mighty and mighty manner...

As the army marched, flags fluttered and war drums sounded.

Evelyn was wearing a white robe and riding on a black-maned warhorse. Her beautiful eyes were filled with distant thoughts, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

After a long while, she turned her head to look at Lin En who was not far away, and her tone was somewhat inquiring:

"Lord Layton, according to what you said before, your teacher Klaus is now hiding in the capital? I thought he had already escaped."

Lin En looked calm and did not comment, just nodded slightly.

He could indeed sense that Klaus's remaining aura had not yet left the royal capital, but the real question in his mind at the moment was something else.

He looked at the dense army of mortals behind him and frowned slightly.

Such a large army would seem redundant for the upcoming alchemist showdown.

They were unable to resist the horrific destruction of alchemy, and would easily slow down the overall marching speed and even expose their tracks.

Thinking of this, Lin En finally spoke, with a somewhat doubtful tone:

"This army of mortals...won't it slow us down? Besides, what use can they have against an enemy like Klaus?"

However, Evelin seemed to have anticipated his question. She chuckled and narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"It seems that there is indeed no deep relationship between you and Klaus."

There was a hint of tentativeness in her tone, but seeing that Lin En was calm and collected, she coughed lightly, put away her teasing intention, and said seriously:

"Although we, the throne-level forces, don't have a deep understanding of the Creation Society, we have some key intelligence."

"They are under the banner of creating a new world and destroying the old order, and they keep saying that they want to make 'everyone like a dragon', as if they are talking about an illusory ideal."

"But the reason why Klaus joined the cause, and why the Creation Society was able to disrupt the continent in a short period of time, was not because of slogans..."

She paused, then slightly opened her red lips, her tongue flickered across her lips, a fiery and greedy light flashed in her beautiful eyes:

"Lord Layton, I believe you have heard of the rumors about the 'World Tree'?"

Lynn was slightly startled.

The "World Tree" is a legendary creature on par with "dragons", "angels" and "hell". It exists in folk nursery rhymes and heretical poems and is considered an absurd illusion.

However, from Evelin's mouth, it seemed that it was more than just a legend.

As expected, Evelin's tone turned serious: "Although the authenticity has not been confirmed yet, according to the secret report received by the Quetzalcoatl, the 'Creator' of the Creation Society... does hold something similar to the World Tree in his hands."

"More importantly..." Her voice sank, and every word was sonorous, "Those thirty or so golden totems that destroyed the capital were derived from the 'World Tree'!"

Lin En's pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was filled with ripples.

You know, even if you add together all the golden thrones in this world, there probably won’t be more than thirty.

However, the Creation Society was able to release more than thirty golden totems in one fell swoop, swallowing up the capitals of more than thirty countries one by one.

If this was a real golden totem, the Creation Society would have swept across the entire continent long ago. Why would they need to hide in the dark, stir up trouble, and kill people with borrowed knives like they are now? Obviously, these so-called "golden totems" are not the real power of the Golden Throne.

After listening to Evelin’s explanation, Lin En had a clearer idea in his mind.

These totems born from the "World Tree" may indeed possess some of the power of the golden totem, but they are far from being comparable to the real golden throne.

It is more like some kind of imitation, relying on special mechanisms to maintain its strength and lacking in qualitative change.

But...even so, it is still weird and powerful.

But what does this have to do with that slow and bloated army of mortals?

As if she saw Lin En's doubt, Evelin smiled lightly, her tone a little mysterious:

"According to the information we have obtained from the Quetzalcoatl, the 'World Tree' not only gave birth to totems and alchemy... it also gave birth to the life forms of the entire world, including us and them."

She glanced at the advancing mortal army, her eyes deep: "The golden totem created by the Creation Society using the 'World Tree' has now firmly wrapped around the capitals of various countries, like some kind of barrier. It is difficult for outsiders to approach, let alone break it."

"But we found that as long as the 'number' is sufficient, even mortals can have a subtle impact on it."

"When the number reaches a certain critical point... even mortals without totems can have their 'life reactions' resonate and pry open the barrier constructed by the World Tree."

Hearing this, Lin En frowned slightly and his eyes darkened.

It turns out that these mortals are not simply "troops", but are used as "fuzes".

A fuse that might be able to destabilize the entire barrier of the royal capital.

However, what Lin En was really concerned about was not the so-called royal capital defense line, but the world tree.

If he guessed correctly, this mysterious "World Tree" was most likely the fourth-level opportunity that his original body had been searching for! As long as he could control it, he would have the key to enter the fourth level! A sharp light flashed in Lin En's eyes, but it was fleeting.

The problem is that even though the veil of the Creation Society has been lifted, the real core...

The "Creator" is still hiding in the darkness.

At this stage, only some members of the Creation Society have been exposed...

And the creator who controls the world tree.

No name, no face, unknown gender, no totem record.

He seemed like a shadow in the depths of chaos, never really surfacing. All investigations were ultimately cut off at some point, making it difficult to trace.

Not only the Quetzalcoatl, but all other throne-level forces were also at a loss.

If we want to find the Creator and get the World Tree, it is indeed a long and arduous journey...

………………………………

As time passed, accompanied by the sound of footsteps that shook the ground, the army finally arrived at the capital of the Principality of Cuilan.

This place was originally located on a vast plain with convenient transportation links, making it a transportation hub leading to various provinces.

In the past, it was bustling with people and busy with carriages and horses. It was the heart and core of power of the principality.

But now, the entire plain is as silent as a grave, empty of people.

A breeze blew by, carrying with it a faint smell of dust and residual blood, which made people shudder.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

A densely packed army stepped into this silent land, with armor rubbing and flags fluttering.

Evelyn, Lynn, and the others at the front all had their eyes fixed on the depths of the plain in the distance.

According to the memory of Layton in Lin En's mind, there should have been a majestic and magnificent royal capital with high walls in front of it, encompassing the whole world and dominating all directions.

However, at this moment, there were no city walls, no people, only a giant golden beast lying between heaven and earth.

It was a light so dazzling that it was almost impossible to look directly at.

It lay prone on the ground, its body so huge that it seemed to be cast from gold. It shone with golden light and oppressed the heaven and earth like the remains of a god.

Even though they were at a great distance, the soul-shaking pressure still came upon them, forcing all the soldiers to subconsciously slow down their pace and dare not breathe.

Lynn stared ahead, his brows slowly furrowing.

That... is the golden totem that devoured the entire capital? The golden beast was lying motionless, but its body was undulating like a mountain range, its face was hideous and distorted, and its body was covered with thick scales, like a sleeping dragon, but it also exuded an innate royal power and brutality.

"That is... the Tyrant Earth Dragon Emperor."

Evelin spoke slowly in a low voice, as if she was telling an ancient legend.

"It is one of the golden totems from thousands of years ago, summoned from history by the Creation Society. I don't know what means were used to forcibly 'resurrect' these once throne-level totems."

"Although his strength and consciousness have been greatly weakened, his remaining instincts alone are enough to destroy an entire country."

Lin En's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this.

"Totem of resurrection? But it must have come at a price, right?"

He subconsciously thought of certain forbidden techniques in the wizarding world, concepts similar to "Reincarnation of the Impure World".

Evelyn nodded. "Almost. But they have no self-awareness and only retain some of their strength and skills. For example, this Earth Dragon King has a complete defense and barrier release mechanism. It will launch a 'Rumbling' attack every once in a while... Even a Silver Alchemist would find it difficult to withstand it head-on."

"Moreover, the capital is now completely blocked by the barrier it released. We in the Quetzalcoatl have tried to break through it, but none of us succeeded."

Lin En frowned slightly: "What about the inside...?"

"It has probably already become a graveyard," Evelyn said calmly.

Lynn's eyes swept over the giant golden beast that lay on the ground like a mountain.

"What about its weakness?"

"It won't open its eyes, nor will it attack proactively." Evelyn sneered, "It's like an unconscious gravekeeper, releasing skills based on instinct only, but lacks the ability to judge friend or foe."

"We just need to wait for it to release its next 'Rumbling'... During the skill window, we need to concentrate our mortal strength and tear open a hole."

Lynn understood immediately.

It turned out that this was the ultimate purpose of Evelyn bringing the mortal army here, to use "quantity" to create a resonance reaction that would shake the World Tree, in order to weaken the barrier of the golden totem, and then the alchemist would forcibly break through and tear open the crack.

"The next rumbling is still about half a day away. Wait."

Evelyn gave a calm instruction and ordered the army to camp on the spot and keep a safe distance from the golden totem - the Tyrant Earth Dragon King.

…

Time passes.

It was already afternoon when the army arrived at the capital. Now it was dark, with two moons hanging in the sky, casting a cold but bright silver light. The moonlight shone on the huge creature, making its golden scales more dazzling, like a sleeping god, solemn and terrifying.

“It’s coming.”

Evelyn suddenly spoke up and reminded him in a low voice. She stepped forward and brought Lin En to the forefront of the battle line, ready to see the true power of the golden totem releasing the earth rumbling sound.

Both of them were silver alchemists, with layers of silver shields covering their bodies, so they could barely be observed from close enough.

boom!!

Suddenly, a loud noise like thunder piercing the earth suddenly exploded!

Immediately afterwards, the earth shook violently, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart, with howling winds and dust everywhere.

The whole world seemed to have fallen into the brink of disaster at that moment.

Evelyn's white robe fluttered in the strong wind, revealing her snow-white, slender legs, but she no longer cared about her image. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the front, full of awe and passion.

Lynn's eyes were equally serious.

The Tyrant Earth Dragon King lay still, but with it as the center, the ground within a radius of thousands of meters was cracking and collapsing like paper, and unfathomable cracks spread out in an instant, like the bloody mouth of hell! The surface was tearing apart, the rocks were collapsing, and the rocks were instantly turned into powder! The terrifying earthquake wave spread out, carrying the power to tear everything apart, and the area of ​​nearly 20,000 meters was completely covered by the disaster! Even though Lin En was still far away from it, the Violet King Totem outside his body began to vibrate violently, and the silver light continued to dissipate, as if it was being peeled off by some force.

The energy was dissipating so quickly that the totem could hardly hold on.

He couldn't help but whisper in his heart:

If they got any closer, even the Silver Alchemist would be torn to pieces in an instant!

This is the true power of the golden totem.

It only takes the blink of an eye to destroy a country.

The rumbling lasted for about half an hour, after which the power of Tyrant Earthdramon gradually subsided.

And those lands were influenced by the power of the Tyrant Earth Dragon Beast and closed together again.

If I hadn't witnessed it with my own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that such a terrible scene had just happened.

"The power of a level three creature is so terrifying... It is much, much higher than that of a level two creature... Could it be because of the world level?"

On the surface, Lynn looked just as shocked as Evelyn.

However, the feelings of the two are completely different.

Evelyn was yearning for the Golden Throne, while Lynn felt a little confused.

In the wizarding world, it is impossible for a third-level creature to burst out such terrible power.

In this world of the third and a half level, the Golden Throne is at the top of the world...

Therefore, their power has reached the same level as the world in a sense...

Therefore, it seems reasonable to do what happened just now...
