Chapter 688 We Must Find a Way to Survive
The abyss demons suddenly withdrew their troops, putting the dragon race at a disadvantage.
Although the humans did not launch a counterattack, the dragons were also unable to mount an offensive and had no choice but to retreat first.
Jiang Yi's arrival only compounded the problem, delivering a devastating blow to the Dragon Clan. Outside the Abyss Demon Emperor's palace, the Dragon Emperor himself stood guard, roaring furiously at the palace.
"Demon Emperor, what do you mean? Why are you retreating!" The Dragon Emperor's voice was filled with anger, causing the Abyss Fire to tremble continuously.
The Demon Emperor did not appear; its voice came from the palace, "Our plan has failed. What else can we do but retreat?"
The Dragon Emperor roared, "Even if we failed to ambush Jiang Chen, as long as we join forces, we can at least drive the human race out of the Yuan Battlefield!" "Are you out of your mind? Jiang Yi is back, didn't you know?" The Demon Emperor sneered disdainfully.
The Dragon Emperor paused slightly, finally recalling Jiang Yi from his memories. Jiang Yi had risen to power over 700 years ago and was once a leader of the human race.
More than 600 years ago, it was besieged by dozens of demon kings and eventually perished.
At that time, the Dragon Clan was isolated from the Yuan Battlefield, and the Dragon Emperor had only heard of the name Jiang Yi, but did not know much about him.
“Jiang Yi, isn’t he already dead?” the Dragon Emperor said.
The Demon Emperor replied, "Dead, but not completely dead. He died over 600 years ago and has been resurrected."
"This is impossible!" the Dragon Emperor exclaimed. Even it had never heard of anyone being able to be resurrected after being dead for over 600 years.
The Demon Emperor said, "Although I don't know how Jiang Yi was resurrected, it's definitely related to it. If you want to know, you can go ask. Anyway, it's right there, not hard to find." It...
The Dragon Emperor suddenly shivered.
What a joke! Go ask Antares how many lives he has. If he had stayed obediently in the Dragon Realm, Antares wouldn't have bothered to kill him out of boredom; after all, there was an agreement between the parties.
But if I were to go to the upper space and stand in front of it, I would probably be killed by a single breath of dragon's breath.
The Demon Emperor continued, "Regardless of the reason, Jiang Yi has now been resurrected. He is at the peak of level 98, a near-godlike figure. Although he is a little weaker than you and me, the difference isn't too great."
"With him around, there's no point in attacking the human race."
As the Demon Emperor said, with a near-godlike being in charge of the human race, and the formidable Antares also present, it's impossible for them to not only annihilate the human race, but even drive them out of the Yuan Battlefield.
Moreover, there's Jiang Chen now, and Jiang Chen is too outlandish.
The Dragon Emperor also understood that the situation was hopeless. There was indeed no need to continue the attack; retreating was the only option.
It gritted its teeth, "I wish that once the humans lose Fan Huang, they can be driven out of the Yuan Battlefield, and I can suppress the human race once more and completely cripple them."
"I never expected it to turn out like this."
After speaking, the Dragon Emperor departed in anger, leaving the abyss behind. The abyssal fire burned even more fiercely, while the Demon Emperor sat on his throne, his gaze extremely complex.
"Idiot, you don't even understand your own identity, yet you want to cripple the human race."
"We are pawns, understand? Since we are pawns, let's do our job well."
"Act when you need to act, be shrewd when you need to be shrewd, and surrender when you need to surrender. Living is more important than anything else!"
"We can't wait any longer; we have to find a way to survive."
But the hatred between us and humans can never be erased... This is such a headache!
The fire of the abyss grew fiercer and fiercer until it enveloped the entire Demon Emperor's palace, and the Demon Emperor's voice completely disappeared.
Inside the palace, Li Xueru stated his purpose directly.
Without any hesitation, Dongfang Yi took all the information about Jiang Yi and the Demon-Slaying Sword.
The royal family can be regarded as the oldest family in the Divine Dragon Empire, and all the records since the founding of the country have been preserved.
Li Xueru and Jiang Chen carefully reviewed the documents, which contained detailed records of Jiang Yi's life and deeds.
There is a lot of information that is not available to the outside world, especially regarding the origin of the Demon-Slaying Sword. The Demon-Slaying Sword came from a piece of extraterrestrial metal, which Jiang Yi obtained by chance.
According to the information returned by the detection technique, this is a top-tier mythical material called: Magic Gold!
In Jiang Yi's era, there were no god-level blacksmiths. But mythical-level materials couldn't just be wasted.
So several top blacksmiths joined forces and came up with a method: to smelt the demonic metal using the power of the demon king's blood essence.
At that time, there was a constant war between the abyss demons and the human race, so obtaining the demon king's blood essence was not difficult.
In several major battles, Jiang Yi made a bold move and collected the essence blood of five demon kings. Using this essence blood, the blacksmiths finally smelted the demon metal and forged it into the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Unfortunately, it wasn't crafted by a master blacksmith and used mythical materials, so the Demon-Slaying Sword was ultimately only a top-tier legendary weapon.
The Demon-Slaying Sword naturally became Jiang Yi's weapon.
Wielding the Demon-Slaying Sword, Jiang Yi's combat power greatly increased, allowing him to dominate the battlefield.
Until he was targeted by the demons, and finally died from exhaustion in a great battle.
But no one knew that Jiang Yi hadn't truly died, and that over 600 years later, through Jiang Chen's intervention and relying on the power of Antares, he was resurrected...
However, after being resurrected, something seemed to go wrong, and the problem lay with the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Jiang Chen knew that Antares was definitely right.
“The documents don’t contain any specific information about that piece of magic gold from back then,” Jiang Chen said softly.
The information only states that this mythical material is called Demon Gold and comes from outer space. However, its specific properties are unknown.
Li Xueru said, "Is it possible that Your Excellency knows?"
Jiang Chen shook his head. "It doesn't know."
Mythical-grade materials are nothing to Antares.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, "According to the records, of the five top blacksmiths who participated in the making of the Demon-Slaying Sword, the one named Dongfang Jin must have come from the royal family."
Dongfang Yi also looked at the information based on what Jiang Chen said and immediately found the corresponding information. "That's right, it did come from our royal family."
"Could you find all his information, including his handwritten diaries and such?"
The royal family has always had a habit of preserving documents, keeping all kinds of information, big and small, useful and useless.
This is a great habit; you can always find it when you need it.
Dongfang Yi naturally wouldn't refuse such a small request.
Moreover, these materials are not particularly important; they are simply from a long time ago and it will take some time to find them.
The royal family has no shortage of people, and the result was obtained in just half an hour.
They brought over all the information about Dongfangjin.
Dongfang Jin inherited the fine tradition of the royal family, and he actually recorded most of his works throughout his life.
He was a top-tier blacksmith of level 88, and his biggest regret in life was not becoming a god-level blacksmith.
His greatest achievement in life was forging the Demon-Slaying Sword.
Jiang Chen indeed found information about magic metal in his diary. "Teacher, look at this!"
Jiang Chen handed the documents to Li Xueru.
After reading it, Li Xueru's expression changed slightly. "It's actually like this." Dongfang Yi sensed something was wrong. "Lord Li, General Lin, is there a problem?"
Li Xueru's gaze swept over them, and Dongfang Yi understood, immediately ordering all irrelevant people to leave.
Li Xueru pointed his finger and set up a simple soundproof array.
Li Xueru said, "According to the records, the main material of the Demon-Slaying Sword, the mythical-grade material Demon Gold, has the ability to bewitch the mind, making people manic and even bloodthirsty."
“There was a low-level professional who, influenced by the magic metal, killed someone.”
