"I don't need to know who you are.
You just need to remember my name.
I am Yi Tianxing, ruler of Great Yi.
As long as I stand here—you'd best lie back down where you came from."
Yi Tianxing's voice rang through the void, cutting off the artifact spirit mid-sentence, not showing the slightest courtesy.
He didn't care about the name.
Didn't think it mattered.
"You—!"
The artifact spirit nearly vomited blood in rage.
He had planned to announce himself to the world, to declare his rebirth in grand fashion.
But now—Denied. Interrupted.
Humiliated.
This can't stand!
How could a sovereign artifact not announce its name?
He would make this mortal remember. Deeply. Painfully.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, above Gourd Valley, blood-red clouds surged in.From within them, bolts of blood-colored demonic lightning crackled and lashed down.
They tore across the land, carving gruesome red scars into the valley.
This wasn't ordinary lightning—It was Blood Fiend Demon Thunder, a corrupt force that:
Latches onto the body with blood miasma,
Corrodes flesh and spirit,
If unresisted, turns the target into a puddle of blood.
Cruel.
Deadly.
Extremely hard to dispel.
In a blink, the valley became a domain of blood thunder.
"Today, I shall overturn this world! Let heaven and earth return to the Void!"
The demonic artifact spirit roared in fury.
His introduction denied, his pride wounded—he would destroy everything.
"You'd better ask me if I'll allow it."
"This Dragon Demon Continent is now part of my Great Yi Empire.
Whether you're a dragon, a tiger, or a worm, you crawl when I say so."
Yi Tianxing sneered.
"You can't stop me! You mad? Come hit me if you dare!"
Now the artifact spirit sounded downright bratty, almost… absurd.
Yi Tianxing's face twitched involuntarily.
Why do I suddenly want to beat him to death...?
"Xuanhuang Immortal City—descend!!"
Yi Tianxing no longer wasted words.
As his words fell, a mystical intent spread out, invoking a profound connection.
The sky above trembled.
An overwhelming divine pressure swept across the land like a tide—Majestic, absolute, imperial.
A titanic immortal city appeared in the sky—
With two characters inscribed on it:
Xuan (玄) and Huang (黄).
It was none other than Xuanhuang Immortal City, the Emperor capital of Great Yi.
"The capital appeared so fast!"
Even the Great Yi officials were shocked.
The city had fully transformed into an Eternal Heaven Ark, giving it unique abilities:
It could appear anywhere within Great Yi territory,
Summoned at a thought,
It now served as a mobile divine weapon.
"Suppress!!"
Yi Tianxing gave the order.
Boom!!!
Without hesitation, the city fell.
Within the city, the Eternal Spirit Fairy Ruyi instantly responded.
As it descended:
Celestial maidens danced,
Auspicious lights beamed,
Conch horns sounded,
Purple mist spread thirty thousand li.
Majestic beyond compare.
And then—
The entire Xuanhuang City crashed down directly atop the demonic blood pillar.
The city looked as if it had always been sitting there, like the pillar had been meant to support it.
But—
The blood pillar wasn't strong enough.
As the city pressed downward:
The pillar began to collapse,
The demonic power it emitted was steadily suppressed,
Even the Blood Fiend Thunder was absorbed by the city, harmlessly fused into its structure.
Since its transformation into the Eternal Ark, the city had developed the trait of "adaptation"—
The city could absorb and evolve from attacks.
The more it was hit, the more it integrated the enemy's power.
Soon—
The city walls themselves began to emit Blood Fiend Demon Thunder—
Stronger and denser than the original.
Now it was the city counterattacking.
The magic thunder summoned by the artifact spirit was destroyed midair, overwhelmed by the city's rebounding might.
The city no longer feared the lightning.
It had adapted—and now used the enemy's power against them.
This terrifying property of full absorption and transformation made the city nearly invincible.
Crash!!
The entire city finally landed on the ground.
It fused with the earth, without a crack or seam.
The demonic treasure had been entirely crushed beneath, fully sealed.
Not even a tremble escaped.
From summoning to suppression—
It had taken less than ten breaths.
The looming catastrophe of a demonic treasure's awakening was instantly neutralized.
"So strong!
Our imperial city can actually suppress a born demonic treasure?!
And inside its innate fengshui formation at that?
This is no less than a miracle!"
"Truly terrifying.
The Emperor made the right call—using the city itself for suppression is far better than any other strategy."
"However… until the demonic treasure is fully dealt with, the city can't be moved again."
So spoke Jiang Ni, watching solemnly.
But he also knew how to fix that:
"If we fully incorporate Dragon Demon Continent into Great Yi, and spread out the Xuanhuang Immortal Cities,
Then the Mountains and Rivers Map will cover the land—
And the treasure will remain forever sealed."
Eventually, it might even be refined and repurposed.
"Heavenly might of the Emperor!!"
Zhuge Liang and the other generals saluted, awe in their eyes.
They had all sensed the catastrophic potential of that demonic treasure—but now it had been sealed without even a fight.
The pressure it had built was instantly turned to Great Yi's advantage.
"The coalition of alien races is defeated.
The demonic treasure is sealed.
The Dragon Demon Continent is now defenseless."
"The best time to expand—is now."
Yi Tianxing nodded.
"Jiang Ni, mobilize the entire Celestial Observation Bureau.
Deploy immortal cities across the continent.
This place will become our Dragon Demon Province."
This was part of the Tiance Strategy—
Seize territory,
Plant foundations,
Use each city as a spike to lock down space.
With most of the resistance already eradicated, the remainder would be swept aside in a matter of time.
This battle had secured total victory.
The Hanhai Realm was now inevitably falling into Great Yi's grasp.
"Yes, my Emperor."
Zhuge Liang remained focused, still cautious.
Victory was close—but never to be taken for granted.
Yi Tianxing returned to Xuanhuang Immortal City, entering the Imperial Palace.
The sudden arrival of the city, the instant suppression of a demonic artifact—it naturally shocked the city's entire population.
Curious citizens poured out of the city to explore.
The entire valley was now abuzz.
At the same time—
Teams of Feng Shui Masters stepped forth from the city, heading out to survey and prepare the land...
