Chapter 1676: A Good Person Would Be Repaid in Kind

Xiang Shaoyun brought the azure dragon and Little White into the territory controlled by the diabolic dragons. There, a bloody scene welcomed them; numerous human corpses were strewn everywhere. Dismay rose in Xiang Shaoyun's heart.

This is a world where the weak are the food of the strong. No kindness is allowed. Only by reaching the very peak of existence will I be able to suppress everything and return peace to the dominion, thought Xiang Shaoyun to himself.

In the past, he only wanted to protect those dear to him. Now, a desire to protect the dominion bloomed within him. His mindset underwent a change due to the sense of responsibility he had as a human.

Relying on his senses, he found places with human survivors. However, these survivors were barely alive; they were all madly slaughtering each other after being driven mad by the devilish energy.

Xiang Shaoyun cleared all their minds before pointing a way out for all of them. After visiting about a dozen towns and killing a large number of devils, Xiang Shaoyun had rescued a decent number of humans. However, it did not seem like his actions would solve anything. Only by driving the Diabolic Dragon Clan away would the humans be saved.

Xiang Shaoyun brought the azure dragon and Little White straight to the Diabolic Dragon Clan's headquarters. That was the place where the largest number of devils were stationed and where the human resistance was fighting the hardest. In fact, the war had never paused since it had begun.

The Guardians Guild was still the main leader of the human army. The remaining army of the Dusk Dynasty was also there. Additionally, other volunteer cultivators were also helping with the war effort.

When Xiang Shaoyun's group arrived, nobody batted an eye. The three looked too young and did not look like capable cultivators. Instead, they looked more like ignorant fools who were there to temper themselves.

"Young men, you better leave. This is not the kind of battle you can participate in," advised a kind uncle when he saw them.

The uncle was surrounded by a thick baleful aura, and his body was dyed with a large amount of devil blood. It was clear he was a strong warrior that had seen a lot of battle.

Xiang Shaoyun smiled and said, "Thank you for the advice, uncle. We'll be fine."

"Li Shi said that for your own good. Don't let his advice go to waste," berated a different man.

"Forget it. Since they wish to die, let them be. This place is not far away from the diabolic dragons. A massive battle can erupt at any time. We should pull back farther," said a woman coldly.

There were about 100 people in this group. They were all volunteer unaffiliated cultivators here to help. They were all at the Sovereign Realm and beyond, but with their strength, they could only help at the fringe of the main battlefield and could not go deeper.

They were rather harsh with their words, but Xiang Shaoyun did not mind them. People at his level of strength no longer cared about something so trivial.

Abruptly, powerful devils started rushing toward the group. Numerous heavy auras radiated toward them, causing all of them to hurriedly lift their weapons in preparation for the incoming fight.

"Leave! A Devil Saint is coming this time!" shouted the middle-aged man called Li Shi at Xiang Shaoyun.

He then charged toward the devils with a saber in his hand. As he charged, he roared, "Vile devils, pay for my son's life!"

As for the other humans, they were shrinking from the fight. A Devil Saint was more than what they could deal with.

"Humans, all of you will become my food!" The Devil Saint was strong, and tagging along were about a dozen powerful devils. The human group was completely surrounded, and escape did not seem likely.

They all despaired. Left with no choice, the only thing they could do was lift their weapons and fight back. Li Shi might be decently strong, but he wasn't strong enough to face a Devil Saint. Just as he was about to be killed by the Devil Saint, a youth appeared before him and casually suppressed the Devil Saint. The Devil Saint only felt a supreme power pressing down upon him, and his entire body turned cold from fear. He immediately thought of fleeing, but he couldn't even budge.

"This is human territory, not some place for the likes of you to act as you wish," declared Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly. Then, he applied some force to his hand, releasing a strand of primal chaos flame that instantly reduced the Devil Saint into ashes.

Li Shi's pupils shrank as he exclaimed inwardly, So powerful!

"Little Azure, Little White, end them quickly. We need to go deeper inside," said Xiang Shaoyun.

The dragonfish who had transformed into an azure dragon was named Little Azure by Xiang Shaoyun. Naturally, the dragon was not given the choice to object. Little Azure and Little White were able to defeat all the devils as easily as lifting their hands.

Xiang Shaoyun then said to Li Shi, "Uncle, a good person would be repaid in kind."

A drop of precious saint-grade spring water appeared in his hand. He handed it to Li Shi. This drop of water would help bring Li Shi's strength to a brand new level. Xiang Shaoyun gave it to him because he found Li Shi's personality pleasing. After all, there were very few kind people in the world.

All the other people were envious. How would they have known that the three youths would actually be so scary? If they had spoken kindly to them like Li Shi, would they have received such valuable gifts as well? Unfortunately for them, regret was not something that could be cured.

With Little Azure and Little White, Xiang Shaoyun penetrated deep into the devils' territory. The devils had developed the area to a certain extent, creating a zone of baleful energy that would instantly kill any humans that entered. At the same time, the place was guarded by powerful Devil Gods who kept watch against any human sneak attacks.

Little Azure and Little White would kill any devil in their path. Thus, a large number of devils were killed as they advanced. As actual Demon Gods, only Devil Gods could pose any sort of threat to them.

At this time, a human God was fighting against a Devil God. The two were fighting high in the sky, creating a series of massive explosions in the air.

"All you devils deserve death for destroying our Dusk Dynasty! I won't rest until I kill all of you!" roared the human God furiously.

That person was dressed in a dragon robe and was holding a dragon sword. His domineering aura surged to the heavens while his valiant and unrivaled aura spread in all directions. This was an imperial uncle of the Dusk Dynasty, and he was also the dynasty's most talented cultivator. He was Huang Baiwu, a fifth-stage Rebirth Realm cultivator.

In the past several years, Huang Baiwu had killed many Devil Gods. He had also nearly died several times from all the dangerous battles. Unfortunately, he had not been able to preserve the Dusk Dynasty despite his efforts.

As he aimed to add two more Devil Gods to his kill, a powerful diabolic dragon suddenly soared into the sky and seriously injured him. At the same time, all possible paths of retreat were sealed. They were evidently prepared to kill him.

"Today is the day you die!" roared the diabolic dragon before clawing at the seriously injured human God's head.

"Diabolic Dragon Clan, what a repulsive species," an annoyed voice suddenly rang out just as Huang Baiwu was about to be killed.
