254 The Ten Thousand Mountains, Chapter Thirty-One
He was always extremely confident and never disappointed, because his elder brother, the emperor, always held the heavens above all else. No matter the changing circumstances, his resolve never wavered.
In this vast world, it seems there is nothing that makes him frown. If he wants to, he will definitely change it. Looking at the goddesses' expressions here now, he imagines that their lovers are the same, giving them the strongest support.
Han Linling was also filled with envy at this moment, but she tried her best to restrain herself and watched quietly. Her slender hands gently combed her long, jet-black hair, which was almost dragging on the ground as she leaned against the mahogany chair with blue silk cushions.
Her fingertips danced lightly, her hands like a delicate snowflake, twirling and weaving through her hair, a beauty that was breathtaking, like an angel's feather, exuding a sweet and intoxicating charm. Yet, at that moment, she seemed somewhat distracted from her own beauty.
Looking at the women opposite her, envy instantly filled her eyes. She mischievously thought to herself, 'Hmm, if I could attract their attention, that would be quite interesting. I could give it a try and show off my charm.'
Thinking and thinking, a hint of expectation in his eyes, though he didn't know what he was thinking.
Yun Su explained softly, "Under the cover of night, Chen Lang and I went to greet Sister Yun Qing. The journey was relatively smooth at the time, and we arrived quickly. Later..."
He recounted the events in a simple tone, with few words omitted. He didn't elaborate on the harrowing situation, afraid of worrying them. Even now, looking back, he can't help but feel a lingering fear.
At that time, the sight of Shen Lang and the giant demon elephant, nearly a hundred feet tall, made people feel that the end of the world was coming, and they had no power to resist. However, Shen Lang, with his incomparably heroic figure and sharp blade, launched an earth-shattering battle.
At that moment, the earth seemed to tremble beneath their feet; it felt as if the entire world was about to be destroyed. The two forces were indescribably powerful, their collision and impact unpredictable, each strike carrying the weight of life and death.
The immense power and massive shockwave generated radiated in all directions, causing the surrounding area for dozens of miles to tremble. The intense fluctuations were like an earthquake, with houses collapsing and the earth splitting into pieces.
At that moment, the mountains and rocks crumbled, sand flew, stones rolled, and birds and beasts had nowhere to hide, fleeing in all directions, wishing they had more legs and more wings.
The entire earth was torn apart into countless cracks thousands of feet long, like shattered ceramic plates, a terrifying sight, as if this were the end of the world.
During their battle, Shen Lang and the Hundred-Foot Demon Elephant continuously released powerful energy, causing everything around them, including the earth and space, to become shattered and fragile, like the surface of water. Even a small pebble could create endless ripples, and the description of raging waves was inadequate.
At that moment, the wind and clouds were in an uproar, thunder and lightning raged, and the entire sky was obscured by the thunder. The deafening roar of the thunder was deafening!
It seemed poised to devour the entire world. If the evil magic of the demonic elephant were to awaken, the entire Dalong Prefecture would likely become a desolate wasteland, and all living beings in Dalong Prefecture would be doomed.
Looking back, it seems that at that moment, there were no so-called powerful beings or hidden peerless cultivators who came to help. All the so-called saviors were simply beyond their own imagination. Young men and women always fantasize, but when death comes, they never see anyone come to save them.
How absurd and laughable! Without the Holy Emperor, this royal city is now nothing more than a small gathering of people. No wonder my father is so angry. When the Holy Emperor was alive, he could suppress all opposing forces.
Now that the Holy Emperor has disappeared, the First Prince's naive idea of not uniting those he could has is probably still fueled by a sliver of self-righteous reliance and trump cards. Little does he know that he has likely never participated in any real battles.
The princes are restless and arrogant, thinking they have all the trump cards they have up their sleeves. But against a king, they'll probably only meet their demise. And why is Father in such a hurry to send Sister Yunqing and the others out? Could it be that something unpredictable is about to happen in the royal city?
At this moment, while recalling the battle between Shen Lang and the hundred-foot demonic elephant, he consciously preserved many images in his mind, and many thoughts arose. A fleeting thought, just having subsided, was unconsciously picked up again.
If another cultivator as powerful as the Hundred-Foot Demon Elephant were to attack the royal city, wouldn't the hidden experts within the city intervene? They probably would.
Even if the experts of the royal city were to repel the demonic elephant's world-destroying power, countless civilians would likely die. They are not all compassionate, and most of them have no desire to protect others!
Even if a few had the intention to save the world, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything. In times of crisis, they would only protect the nobles and royal children of the capital, and there were never any other unexpected situations.
While pondering in his heart, he softly repeated the words. Although his tone was casual, the hundred-foot-tall demonic elephant's terrifyingly powerful aura instantly suppressed the women, silencing them completely. It was as if they were about to be sent to their deaths without even realizing it!
It felt as if I were there, experiencing the atmosphere around me. Thinking about the monster's terrifying form, it was like the end of the world. A strong sense of fear and worry permeated the air, and even breathing could be clearly heard.
A terrifying aura of death instantly swept over them, making the women feel uneasy and uncertain. They involuntarily moved closer, as if only a little more warmth could dispel the chill.
His eyes, unable to remain calm, were fixed intently on Yun Su, eager to know what would happen next.
At this moment, Jingzhai's eyes showed a hint of worry. Her beautiful eyes shone with a captivating light, and a sense of powerlessness arose spontaneously. If such a huge demonic elephant were to truly descend upon the royal city, it would likely cause widespread devastation.
A sense of terror swept over me, a chilling fear that rose from the depths of my heart like icy tentacles gripping my heart, making it feel like I couldn't breathe.
My own body was trembling uncontrollably, as if I couldn't resist this inescapable fear.
Vivid images flashed through Jingzhai's mind, images gleaned from long ago, from books or chance encounters—images that had seemed unreal before, yet now felt utterly real. 'Ancient demonic elephant, splitting heaven and earth, causing cataclysmic destruction, the end of humanity, unparalleled, leaving countless lives lost!'
