Chapter 1294: Lantong

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After drinking the fountain water from the Kin Devil Spirit Fountain, the Devil Horn soldiers obtained that restrictive power and became much stronger. They were also much more ferocious than before, and their battle prowess greatly increased.

With the help of the Royal Kingdoms, Yao Ming had also developed a Kin Forbidden Technique. He had some soldiers kill their siblings and parents and then devour them. Adding on the fountain water, they could become devil monsters.

Their bodies were two meters tall and they had two horns on their heads. They had blood-red eyes, muscular figures, and scales. Each of them could fight seven or eight others at the same level.

There were not many of these monsters because the soldiers had to kill their own relatives and eat their corpses. It was only because of massive rewards that some people would choose to do this.

Many people had started to kill and eat their relatives for wealth and power.

Late at night, a young man held a knife as he snuck into a room. Looking at the two elderly people sleeping soundly, he inwardly apologized to them; it was time for them to be of use. After a few strikes, the young man killed the two elderly people.

The two of them died quickly. The young man went over them and started to eat in big mouthfuls. These two elderly people were his parents who had raised him for many years.

Within a courtyard, a big man looked at the baby in his arms and thought to himself about the massive wealth and power he would gain. He then looked at his wife, who he had knocked unconscious, and he made up his mind – they could always give birth to more.

The big man raised his arms, preparing to slam the baby onto the ground, but the noise might be too big. As such, he used his hand to suffocate the baby before devouring it in large bites. The baby’s flesh was quite tender and supple, and the flavor made the big man feel quite intoxicated.

At a desolate place, a young man held a dagger as he eerily smiled and walked towards another young man. The other young man had a few wounds on his body and blood stained his clothes. He weakly pleaded, “Little bro, I’ve always treated you well. Why are you doing this?”

The young man coldly laughed, “For power and authority! Our King even ate his own little brother and became much stronger, so big bro, help me one last time!”

In the end, the young man killed his big brother. Instead of devouring him like a wild beast, he used his dagger to gradually cut off his big brother’s flesh and slowly ate it.

Within a room, a young woman tearily pleaded, “Big brother, don’t do this! We can’t do this!”

A young man was ravaging the young woman, who continuously struggled. The young man savagely laughed and enjoyed the young woman’s body. However, because the young woman was resisting too greatly, he used his hands to suffocate her before continuing.

Afterwards, he took a few bites but then spat it out. He found that he did not like eating raw flesh, so he took a cleaver and started to chop apart the girl’s body to boil it.

A while later, a delicious aroma floated out, and the young man added some seasoning before eating in big mouthfuls as he thought about the fame and glory in the future.

This sort of thing started to happen more and more. In order to obtain power, Yao Ming was willing to pay any cost and had no ethical reservations. Now that even their King had done such a thing, no one else had any worries.

Right now, killing one’s relatives and eating them was not only not a crime, but they would even receive immense rewards. As such, many people started to do this.

There were more and more of the Kin Devil Soldiers, and soon their numbers reached 400 or 500 million. Their battle power could rival three billion ordinary soldiers, and with such a terrifying army, Yao Ming felt that doing anything was worth it.

If they continued like this, his dream of having a Royal Kingdom would soon be realized. He would also be able to destroy Great Qin and devour Great Qin’s Legatee.

With the Devil Horn Empire’s strength, they could start a war as opposed to continue to quietly develop like this. Now, the Devil Horn Empire had the power to deal with various threats.

Yao Ming summoned his subordinates and started to discuss expansion. Their target was not Great Qin because Yao Ming knew that Great Qin had also become much more powerful. Attacking Great Qin right now was not a wise decision.

He needed to further develop his power before he could destroy Great Qin; this power was not enough. As such, he decided to attack some other worlds first and increase his power.

Yao Ming chose the Lantong World because it was next to the Devil Horn Empire and was the closest world. Moreover, after fighting against them for many years, they had whittled away a large portion of the Lantong World’s strength.

Comparatively speaking, the Lantong World was weaker than the other worlds and would be easier to take down with fewer casualties.

Moreover, after conquering the Lantong World, the Continents that the Lantong people had conquered in the Grassi World would also belong to the Devil Horn Empire. When that time came, the Devil Horn Empire would have five Continents in the Grassi World. If they could conquer the Continent that Great Qin occupied, the Devil Horn Empire would have the strength of three worlds.

After making detailed battle plans, Yao Ming officially started to invade the Lantong World. Because of the wariness of the other worlds towards the Devil Horn Empire, they had to quickly conclude this battle or else the other worlds would also get involved.

In fact, they might even simultaneously attack the Devil Horn Empire to tie down their army. There was also Great Qin, their greatest enemy; they would definitely try to stop them too.

Because the Lantong people were often invaded by the Devil Horn Empire, they had invested a lot in their defenses; it would not be so easy to break past them.

As such, Yao Ming would not act without preparations. In actuality, ten or so years ago Yao Ming had set down a few pieces within the Lantong World in preparation for this day in order to quickly conquer the Lantong World.

Before, the Lantong World could join forces with the Grassi World to resist the Devil Horn Empire’s invasion. Adding on the other worlds restricting the Devil Horn Empire, the Devil Horn Empire would not be able to conquer the Lantong World.

However, things were different now – the Grassi World had already been destroyed, leaving only the Lantong World. The Devil Horn Empire had also given great benefits to the surrounding worlds, so they were not too wary towards the Devil Horn Empire. If the Devil Horn Empire suddenly attacked the Lantong World, they would not be able to react in time.

The Devil Horn Empire went all-out, preparing to take down the Lantong World in one fell swoop.

Late at night, the sky was completely black and there were no stars. The lighting was quite dim, and visibility was low. The wind blew loudly, making people feel quite unsettled.

The Lantong World had constructed a large defensive wall at its border with the Devil Horn Empire, and there were Lantong people standing guard all around. Because they had been continuously invaded by the Devil Horn Empire, the Lantong people were always incredibly wary of the Devil Horn Empire and did not dare to be careless.
