Chapter 418 The War (5)
Di Rong's movements became less agile, and he became more stained with poisonous blood and venom.
He felt like a trapped beast being devoured by ants. He still had strength left, but he could no longer shake off these insects and could only watch helplessly as they slowly swallowed him up.
"Times have changed," the once mighty god sighed inwardly. "Now even these insects can crawl onto my body."
Brown roots, following the deity's spine, finally reached the top of the deity's head, and a huge, emerald-gold leaf grew before Di Rong's eyes, its golden veins filling his vision.
Confusion began to rise in the eyes of this deity, first in one eye, then in another after a breath; in less than six breaths, doubt appeared in all four of Di Rong's eyes, and many ambiguous memories flooded into His mind.
"who I am?"
Where is this?
"The ancestral tree? How did the ancestral tree become like this?!"
...
A series of questions arose within this modified body, leaving the deity suspended in mid-air;
The doubts and confusion in His eyes grew, and the weapons uncontrollably transformed into streaks of light, flying into the War God Seal that was blazing with blood. The seal, having absorbed the weapons, then burrowed into Di Rong's brow.
Ten thousand weapons pierced his body, causing him excruciating pain. He wanted to cry out in agony, yet a clear understanding arose within him that he was about to be freed.
"It's almost over."
He let the thick roots pull him away from the chariot, and for no reason, the words of the Mother Goddess came to mind: "Di Rong, when will you die?" He wanted to say that he was not called Di Rong, but he could not remember his own name.
Di Rong's eyelids grew heavy. He felt a chill in the surrounding clouds and mist, so he closed his eyes and disappeared into the thick fog.
In the thick fog, four-colored, scaled and clawed dragons of authority circled and scrutinized the deity who was bound by roots;
Behind them were Long Gu and Feng, their bones broken and bound tightly by the lightning and electric wires. They were barely breathing, having lost most of their lives.
The enormous head of the Horned Jade emerged from the clouds and mist. It slightly waved its claws at the four little dragons, then opened its two sharp claws and reached out to grab the four-eyed Emperor Rong.
Tearing, gnawing, Jiaojue felt as if it were chewing on iron and gold. The flesh and blood turned into tiny sharp weapons in its mouth, spitting out mouthfuls of blood and foam before it was unwillingly reduced to dregs.
With great effort, the horned beast swallowed it, then grabbed the violently struggling head with its claws and ripped it off.
However, the divine bones were so strong that Jiao Jue's acquired divine body alone could not break them.
Jiao Jue's brow furrowed, and he immediately shouted, "Four Divine Dragon Lords, come quickly to my aid!" The four divine dragons, one serious and one excited, roared, "Yes, sir!"
They clung to the horned jaguar's muscular claws, pulling them backward in unison.
"Bang!" A perfectly intact spine was ripped out of the flesh, with blood and bits of flesh remaining on the white bone, gleaming with layers of golden light in the thick clouds. As the spine was ripped out, the divine flesh limbs left in Ji Rong's roots began to gush blood into the sky, and the moment the blood touched someone, it was as if they had been cut by a sharp blade.
Weapons shot out from the severed wounds of the god's body, and as soon as they appeared, they chased after the cultivators like mad dogs, stabbing them repeatedly.
But we see:
The sky darkened, and the stars appeared.
The rain fell like knives, and the earth arched like a dragon.
Jiaojue, clutching Di Rong's head, soared into the sky alongside the four little dragons against the biting wind and rain. They roared in unison, "Di Rong is dead! Warriors, let's finish this quickly and enjoy a divine feast!"
The star that belonged to Di Rong gradually dimmed and crumbled.
The soldiers on the ground shouted excitedly, "Our Lord is mighty!"
Jiaojue held Di Rong's head and coiled it in the air. It opened its mouth wide and the source flowed out. The four little dragons surrounded the dragon's mouth and drank it down. Then the four little dragons grew bigger.
Golden dragon drives the wind,
The white dragon ceased its rain.
Blue Dragon Scattering Thunder
Red dragon absorbs electricity.
Ji Rong's roots roared as they lashed out at the arched earth dragon.
Thus, a strange phenomenon appeared between heaven and earth.
Even though a great god had just died, a time when heaven and earth should have wept and all things should have scattered, there was a place that was forcibly isolated. There, clouds and mist rose high, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and every now and then, sharp blades with a cold glint were thrown out from the clouds by strands of brown roots.
They created a space, and the four little dragons swirled around Ji Rong's body, which was bound by roots, gnawing at it while exercising their power.
As they devoured it, four small stars slowly lit up beside the star that belonged to the Horned Jade.
Ji Rong looked down at the battle below from the air and shouted loudly: "Di Rong is dead! Lay down your weapons! Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who do not surrender will die!"
Upon hearing this, Qing Guanzi, Zhan Shi, and Shan Wu quickly led their soldiers to form an encirclement, and they all echoed, "Di Rong is dead! Lay down your weapons! Those who surrender will not be killed! Those who do not surrender will die!"
The God has died, and heaven and earth mourn!
Every surviving soldier knew in their hearts that even if they fought their way out, they would most likely be buried with the god; staying here might offer them a chance to live...
I've heard that the new ruler is fond of commerce and dislikes meat feasts.
As long as it's not used for banquet meat, there's hope!
Among the remaining soldiers of the Imperial Rong, a few bold generals, seeing the inescapable net formed by thick fog, soldiers, and strange tree roots, and hearing the voices urging them to surrender coming from the surrounding area, immediately relied on their King-level cultivation, dropped their weapons, raised their claws, and fled quickly to the side, shouting: "I surrender!"
Upon seeing this, Feng Lan and Yu Nu both glared angrily. Yu Nu, clutching her injured arm, roared, "You pigs and dogs! How dare you betray the Divine Lord and surrender to a false master!"
Guiya and Sitao remained silent, gripping their weapons and chasing after the fleeing soldiers who had lost their weapons!
Qing Guanzi wouldn't let them have their way, so he once again took on two opponents and fought them in the air.
Then the rhinoceros cultivator who was running at the front and whose neck was bound by soldiers spat on the ground and shouted as she channeled her spiritual energy, "You're so loyal, why don't you just die right now!"
Upon hearing this, Shan Wu immediately brought a separate cage from the back. He personally lifted the iron chains binding the rhinoceros cultivator and placed it into the cage, praising loudly, "You rhinoceros were able to surrender willingly, you have excellent judgment, I will remember you."
You are prisoners of our sovereign, and all you need to do is perform some work so that you can pay with your lives and regain your freedom. You won't find such a good deal anywhere else in the world.
"Since you're so clever, I'll put in a good word for you with the Lord and ask her to give you an easy job!"
Upon hearing this, Zhan Shi, who was not far away, shouted to the surrendered men rushing towards him, "Our lord is merciful. If you want to surrender, do it now. If the cage can't hold you all, don't blame us for being ruthless and dividing you up here!"
Ji Rong, who was in the sky, also spoke up: "Descend to my throne, and everyone can become a good citizen!"
The defeat was swift and irreversible!
Once one surrendered, two followed, then three, then four. In less than half a quarter of an hour, several hundred soldiers who were still relatively healthy surrendered.
Even though Feng Lan and Yu Nu tried their best to block them, hundreds of cultivators still managed to break through, abandon their weapons and armor, and surrender as prisoners.
