Chapter 1236: Moving Mountains to Fill the Sea

There were many other bloodlines provided by the System, but Hong Dali felt that none of them were as good as the Devil bloodline. After all, it had no side effects. All the others had some kind of weakness or other and were not as good as this one.

With the Divine Energy Cores, the exchange was simple. Once Hong Dali was done with the exchange, wisps of black aura appeared around Tang Muxin and everyone else. It looked really scary. In no time, all the black aura were absorbed into their bodies and everything looked normal again.

“This is...” Levis was the most powerful amongst them and he was able to feel the most obvious difference. “Powerful energy keeps pouring into my body. I feel that my power seems to be increasing.”

“Indeed. Although the speed of this improvement is a little slow, we will definitely become much more powerful over time.” Blood Demon’s eyes lit up. He obviously felt very good.

He was right. The change in their physical ability was very obvious. The rate of increase might be low, but it would add up over time. This was similar to stocks, where a 1% rise a day would compound into a horrifyingly high number. For example, a person with an attribute of 100. It would increase to 101 on the first day and 102.01 on the second day. On the surface, the change would seem insignificant, but after 100 days, the value would not be 200% of the original number. Instead, it would be 270.48%! The more time passed, the scarier it would be. In a year, it would be 3740.9! How many times the original was that? A 37-fold increase in attribute point value compared to their present state!

“Hehe, any improvement is good.” Hong Dali nodded with satisfaction. “Okay, everyone just needs to wait now. Jiang Shili has asked us to go see Tang Zhen build the battlefield with him tomorrow. I think this is a good opportunity to better understand the enemy’s strength. I think it will be impressive, perhaps it will look like a scene from a science-fiction blockbuster.”

Well, not everyone had the opportunity to witness something like that...

So, everyone went back to their room to rest and the night passed quietly.

Soon, it was noon the next day. Hong Dali was waiting together with everyone else when a soldier suddenly came in with a report. “Report! There’s someone outside who claims to be the Cultivator Jiang Shili asking to meet Second Lieutenant Hong.”

He’s here!

Hong Dali quickly got up and smiled. “Let’s go, Jiang Shili is here.”

“Understood!” “Yes!” “Let’s go see!”

A large group of people set off. When they exited the command center, they saw Jiang Shili in a purple robe standing alone in the square with a smile. His robe was embroidered with five Real Dragons in different colors. Their color combinations were all different, consisting of black, yellow, green, and red. It exuded an air of regal nobility and was different from the elegance of a Cultivator. The robe suited his temperament, complimenting him perfectly.

“Oh, Brother Jiang, you’re so handsomely dressed today. Going on a blind date?” Hong Dali did not care much. His greeting almost made Jiang Shili lose his composure. “Tsk tsk tsk... five dragons, wonderful, handsome! Which girl caught your fancy? Would you like me to help with introductions? I’ll say this first, you’re not allowed to hit on my women!”

Hong Dali was amusing and Jiang Shili did not know whether to laugh or to cry. He shook his head and said, “Brother Dali, you’re funny. Master rarely involves himself in matters these days. This time, he promised to personally prep the battlefield. As his disciple, I have to be formally attired or I might make myself look foolish in front of my Master. This five-dragon robe was given to me when Master accepted me as a disciple and I have put on it today as a show of respect for Master.”

He spoke sincerely, and Hong Dali could not pick up anything out of line. He nodded and said, “Well, that’s the right thing to do. Do we set off now? By the way, how does the Devil Lord intend to set up the battlefield?”

“Come with me. You’ll find out when you get there.” Jiang Shili rose into the air as he spoke. He was very fast and in the blink of an eye, he was already a thousand kilometers up in the air.

“Okay, brothers. Let’s transform. It seems we will have to fly there.” Hong Dali had 300,000 attribute points in hand and he was able to transform whenever he wanted to. Everyone transformed in an instant and rose as a group into the air—this proved that Hong Dali’s vision and luck were indeed good. If they were not able to transform into Sky Knights, King Zerg Knights, and Star Knights, it would be impossible to fight against Cultivators who flew all over the sky on their flying swords.

You can’t expect infantry to go against planes, can you?

Hong Dali brought all his lackeys along whenever he went out. Jiang Shili had witnessed it before and it was nothing strange to him. He simply led everyone to their destination.

Speaking of which, the command post where Hong Dali and others were based was, according to the position of the Earth, somewhere around Australia. And the place where Jiang Shili was leading them, was about the location of Europe, France, directly opposite Australia.

However, he did not bring them directly to take the mainland. He stopped halfway there.

Right in front of him, stood a man of imposing stature. Who else could it be other than Tang Zhen?

“Oh, Mr. Tang Zhen, we meet again.” Hong Dali greeted him with a smile. When the power disparity was too big, there was no stress at all. Hong Dali was not worried Tang Zhen would attack them—if he wanted to attack them, they would have been dead long ago...

“Little Brother Hong, we met again.” Tang Zhen smiled and nodded, elegant and faultless as ever. Tang Zhen said slowly, “After we parted ways the last time, This Tang felt that Brother Hong was unique and different, so he asked Shili to exchange a few blows with Brother Hong. I hope Brother Hong will not be offended.”

He always spoke like everything was within his control. He was polite to a fault. Even an enemy would find it hard to get angry at him.

“It’s okay. Our positions are different, that’s all. I can understand.” Hong Dali smiled and said, “I heard that Mr. Tang intends to set up the battlefield, how is it done?”

Jiang Shili said that Tang Zhen intended to set up the battlefield personally. Hong Dali did not really understand what he meant by that.

“Setting up a battlefield is nothing more than moving mountains to fill the sea,” Tang Zhen said casually with a relaxed tone. However, the meaning in his words made Hong Dali and the others frown.

Moving mountains to fill the sea? It was an easy thing to say but a monumental task.

“Okay, it’s a really big thing.” Hong Dali sniffed. “When will you start? Seriously speaking, I haven’t seen it being done before and I’m really curious.”

“Anytime.” Tang Zhen smiled and said, “Then, This Tang will start now.”

As he spoke, he stood suspended in the sky, unmoving like a mountain. He looked at the vast and boundless world below, then slowly raised his right hand and extended his index finger. His movements always seemed slow, but Hong Dali knew that if he had fought against him, he would not be able to evade that finger.

It sounded really contradictory, but that was how strong it felt.

Tang Zhen stretched his finger and gently drew a stroke in the sky.

His finger opened a rift that was hundreds of kilometers long. It was dark within the crack and nothing could be seen. The rift cut across the sky in front of Tang Zhen as if it was a piece of paper he had cut with a knife.

Hong Dali and others did not know exactly what was going on, but they soon understood.

Rumble—

Space began to oscillate, boulders and earth began to fall from the rift. Once it started, it continued without end. The whole earth was shaking. The scene was like the Monkey God in the Journey to the West being pressed down by the Wuzhi Mountain. Within ten minutes, a mountain range hundreds of kilometers long appeared in front of Hong Dali.

Moving mountains to fill the sea! It was actually so simple to move the mountains!

As Hong Dali and the others watched, they felt a chill. They had never seen such strength, much less imagined it.

However, it was obvious that Tang Zhen was still not very satisfied with this speed.

“It’s still a little slow.” Tang Zhen shook his head and sighed softly.

“You still think it’s too slow?” Hong Dali’s eyes widened. “Creating a mountain range hundreds of kilometers long in ten minutes is slow? Isn’t it already incredibly fast?”

“Master is afraid of damaging this planet.” Jiang Shili quickly explained. “Originally, Master could be faster, but that would cause more damage to the planet.”

Did you see it? Their considerations were all at a planetary level.

Hong Dali shrugged his shoulders. “So be it if it’s damaged. Anyway, the people on this planet have already been transported away by me. There are only some soldiers left...”

Well, there was practically no one left, and no harm would be done if the planet was damaged. Even the animals had already been transported away. After all, he was the Animal’s Best Friend...

“Brother Hong is chivalrous, which is very rare.” Tang Zhen smiled and said, “In that case, This Tang will use a faster method.” As he said that, he flew toward the southwest direction. As he flew, he said, “This Tang intends to build a mountain range on this planet to divide the whole planet into two. Brother Hong will occupy half as your headquarters and Shili will occupy the other half, okay?”

At this time, only a fool would disagree. Hong Dali nodded. “You’re the boss, we will of course listen to you. Hehe, you may arrange it as you wish.”

“Brother Hong is straightforward.” Tang Zhen smiled. He soon reached his destination, and everyone stayed in mid-air.

And at this time, Jiang Shili reminded Hong Dali in a serious voice. “Master is going to use a quicker method. Watch carefully. Master does not easily allow others to watch him perform.” He continued, “Oh right, everyone who has seen him do it before is dead. Brother Hong is probably the only one... the only group of people who are allowed to live after seeing it.”

Hearing this, Hong Dali suddenly felt extremely honored!
