On September 17th, in the 315th year of the Daqing reign, a spark ignited in Baixian City.
It's like striking a match on a vast ocean; even the smallest wave could extinguish it.
When over three thousand demonized soldiers surged towards Bai Xian City, you realized your own foolishness; it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Even the most powerful grandmaster would find it incredibly difficult to defeat an army of ten thousand, let alone a force of three thousand second-rate martial artists. This force is comparable to an army of fifty thousand. You only have two grandmasters, and you're supposed to protect the people of a city from escaping? How are you going to fight?
Then, you see a group of fierce warriors emerge from the previously apathetic crowd; judging from their aura alone, there are at least three grandmasters among them.
[Even more ferocious was one man, standing at 2.6 meters tall. He had likely been crouching among the crowd until now, when he rose and wielded two massive hammers weighing thousands of pounds with incredible speed and power, capable of instantly killing seven or eight demonized soldiers in a single encounter.]
[Jiang Yueli, the aloof woman standing to the side, explained, "Actually, most of the strong members of the entire resistance organization have gathered here. They had already decided that this place is the furthest from the Demon King: the Otherworldly Demon, and the Human Demon wouldn't appear in this remote area. You must take advantage of the fact that it hasn't reacted yet and quickly conquer a city."]
The invincible demon has become complacent and lazy for the past seven or eight years, and has hardly left its "Holy King's Palace" in the last seven years. Therefore, those who come will only be other demon bloodlines and higher-level human demons.
[And in the past decade, you have discovered a countermeasure: use your unique skills to defeat your own!]
[Forge divine weapons by melting iron with magic!]
These demonic beings, who call themselves the "Ancient Race," possess a bloodline power or some other component within them that is perfectly suited for forging divine weapons!
[Even the most ordinary demonized soldier, by extracting its demonic blood, can be used to forge weapons suitable for top-tier martial artists, and there seems to be no limit to this synergy.]
Yun Shou: "???"
Are you saying that although I, an ordinary person, can't beat a top-tier expert, as long as I have a weapon that can cut through iron like mud, I can take them down?
Before I could even raise my hand, he probably would have sliced it off!
[The three thousand demonized soldiers were quickly wiped out by a group of grandmasters working together, with the giant man standing at two meters and six feet tall contributing the most.]
[You learn that the other party was once a great general of the Wu Kingdom, named Xu Zhenwu. He was born with the strength of a dragon and an elephant, and even without practicing martial arts, he could exert the force of ten thousand jin with a single wave of his hand.]
However, don't misunderstand, this doesn't mean his foundational talent is ten times that of an ordinary person. While it's higher than the average person, it's only roughly two or three times greater.
An ordinary person who reaches the level of a first-class martial artist can defeat two hundred of their untrained selves in one go; however, someone with a unique talent like "Dragon Elephant Might," even after reaching the first-class level, doesn't actually experience a significant increase in strength.
Only by reaching the Grandmaster level can one's strength be equivalent to several times that of an ordinary person.
Yun Shou: "Wu Guo, Wu Jiang, Long Xiang Dali."
"Is this someone I've heard of somewhere before? It's so hard to guess."
In short, the rebels were mainly gambling: they were gambling that the true form of the Otherworldly Demon wouldn't arrive before they gained enough power.
A month later, a suit of magical armor was completed, and the one who wore it was, of course, Bei Chenguang.
[Afterwards, the surrounding Blood Demons mobilized their armies to annihilate Bai Xian City. Bei Chenguang charged into the midst of the army alone. Clad in demonic armor, he was practically a war god, single-handedly killing three Blood Demons in the main tent.]
Honestly, I feel safer working as a blacksmith in the rear than in the Demon Exorcism Forest.
[Daqing, 316 years old, you're still forging iron.]
[In the same year, a demonic being attacked, shattering Xu Zhenwu's sternum with a single palm strike. Xu Zhenwu's Grandmaster-level strength, almost two to three times that of an ordinary Grandmaster, was unable to withstand the attack.]
All the grandmasters of Baixian City came out, and in the end, Beichen Guang beheaded him.
Yun Shou: "Why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more of a background character?"
In the year 317 of the Great Qing Dynasty, you heard that Bei Chenguang infiltrated the Demon City and single-handedly killed a human-demon!
[In the 318th year of the Daqing era, you heard that Bei Chenguang, for reasons unknown, charged into the Holy King's Palace and cleaved a corner of the palace with a single sword strike. The reason you heard this news is because he returned alive!]
He didn't know how he did it, but he survived.
On the same day, the people of Baixian City dispersed into the plains. Soon after, several demons slayed those in the city who refused to leave.
Later, you heard that the Demon Exorcism Forest was swept away by a determined demon army, and tens of thousands of human remains were transported to the border, their skulls chopped off and piled up to form a mound of skulls.
In the year 319 of the Great Glory, you wandered the wilderness. One by one, magical armor and swords were forged. Wearing the appropriate armor, warriors could fight opponents one level higher!
[You are planning to forge divine armor and weapons that Grandmasters can wear to fight against the Otherworldly Demons.]
[In the 320th year of the Daqing reign, all the hidden plans of the rebels were revealed at once, and rebellions broke out simultaneously in hundreds of cities!]
Although many were suppressed by bloody means in a short time, many portions of demonic blood were also delivered to you.
[That year, the divine intent to slay demons manifested behind Bei Chenguang. Facing the demon who was once a grandmaster, he did not move, but forced the demon to his knees with only his divine intent.]
[At age 20, a supreme grandmaster.]
That year, clad in armor and helmet, wearing a divine weapon forged from the demonic blood of 100,000 demonized warriors, he headed straight for the Holy King's Palace.
"Is this the protagonist of our time?" you think to yourself. You're glad you made the right choice that day, following the "protagonist" and not losing your life along the way.
[If Beichenguang wins, you'll be one of his saviors, and that'll be it for your whole life!]
