This world has never been at peace, always full of bloodshed, thew of the jungle ying out.
The ordinary citizens of Dawu''s calm lives are thanks to strong forces sheltering them from rain and wind.
In the months after the imperial banquet, Dawu Kingdom remained peaceful, not continuing to wage war externally, but rather fully focusing on assimting its internal power.
The ruler of the Tianhong Realm voluntarily submitted, and its assimtion was swift.
The Origin Spirit Realm was dominated by the n, devoid of the concept of a nation. Its inhabitants had little resistance to bing part of Dawu.
In the Demon Abyss, the initial resistance from the inhabitants towards Dawu was softened due to the imperial banquet. They learned about Dawu''s power to resist the Xuan Gods, which elerated their eptance.
In these few months, Ning Xiuchen continued his rigorous efforts to break through to the Xuan God level.
Zhu Fengfeng, on the other hand, was the first to emerge from seclusion, having absorbed a non-hatchable Phoenix Egg, she had broken through to the Celestial God realm. Her internal Phoenix bloodline has be even more noble,ying the foundation for her possible future reach to the Xuan God realm.
Since she had be a Celestial God and possessed immense power, Chu Yuan nned to assign her tomand an army independently.
The Celestial Gods of Tianhong n were incorporated into the Shenwu Army and the five regr expeditionary corps.
Chu Yuan nned to establish another army, to be called Phoenix Army, with Zhu Fengfeng as themander-in-chief, recruiting soldiers nationwide.
Now, Dawu had plenty of powerful warriors, far too many to be drafted into the existing corps alone. Mobilizing them would be too troublesome, so the number of corps continued to expand.
Like those seven or eight-star imperial dynasties, each nation had many corps.
With the Phoenix Army''s establishment, Zhu Fengfeng, who had spent many years in the military, knew what to do. She would report the list of names to the Military Department, and resources would be allocated to them nationwide.
Chu Yuan only controlled broader issues. If he had to worry about every minor issue, he would be hassled to death.
"God of Fire Secret Celestial Treasure Map One."
Only after several months, when everything was stable inside the country, did Chu Yuan look at this treasure map. Continue your journey with empire
"Fine, let''s take advantage of this rtively calm period to find the treasure hidden within this treasure map."
Looking at the map, Chu Yuan first headed to the Demon Abyss, entering from its depth.
Inside Demon God Abyss is an extremely horrifying world. The incessant surge of demonic qi makes it gloomy and oppressive everywhere with a corrosive smell. Prolonged stay here causes decay and loss of spirit.
The deeper you go, the stronger the demonic god''s power.
After going to certain depths, not even the Celestial God can rip open the void. They can only honestly fly.
This ce is not a world fit for creatures to live in. Even demonic cultivators who practice the demonic way, long-term cultivation here influenced by the environment will face the risk of demonization.
"I wonder what kind of treasure I will find this time."
Chu Yuan, in the Demon God Abyss, looked around, the dense demonic qi produced darkness, and the boundless demonic force surged towards him.
Great Devour Art!
Any power could be devoured by Chu Yuan and transformed into his power.
"What the outside world perceives as the Demon God Abyss is only a part of it, the actual Demon God Abyss has no known length or depth. It was said to exist in the extremely ancient times, seeming not to have been opened artificially. Even existence like the five ancient emperors cannot fully explore it, the secrets of the Demon God Abyss are only known as extremely dangerous."
Chu Yuan knew.
Demon God Abyss, danger upon danger!
If it was not for the numerous divine objects that demonic cultivators could take advantage of located within the abyss, nobody woulde exploring.
"ording to the map, the cement of the treasure isn''t too deep."
Chu Yuan stepped in. He was like antern that could move, the divine fire on his imperial robe emitted a crystalline glow, burning the demonic qi.
He was cautious, following the instructions on the treasure map.
"What is that?"@@novelbin@@
He saw ahead, a bright, grotesque, red flower, extraordinarily beautiful, with a seductive scent wafting into his nostrils.
"This is a Blood Demon Flower; it thrives on the absorption of vast amounts of fresh blood."
Chu Yuan attacked the Demon Abyss of the Imperial Dynasty; he learnt quite a lot about the Demon Abyss from them.
He reached out; the Blood Demon Flower was plucked by him. As he studied it, the flower seemed to have life of its own. Its face transformed into a human-like appearance, and a thorn even appeared, ready to embed itself deeply into Chu Yuan''s skin.
"It even feeds on its own blood."
Chu Yuanughed.
Suddenly!
After the Blood Demon Flower was plucked, a terrifying and evil aura shrouded the surroundings.
Within the darkness, it seemed as if something was moving, mixing with the demonic Qi.
A lethal intent overwhelmed the area. A dried, sharp demon w appeared from behind Chu Yuan, aiming to tear him apart.
"This is the creature mentioned in the records, a vicious creature bred from endless demonic Qi, possessing immense strength!"
Chu Yuan''s aura vibrated, darkness turned into brightness, divine light pouring forth. He saw a strange creature, much shorter than an average person, with a hunched back and ck skin that looked like ck scales.
Manyevous by the sudden light, the creature covered its eyes, emitting a restless noise.
"It even has the strength of a Celestial God."
Chu Yuan nced at it somewhat surprised, "Even though it has the power of a Celestial God, its wisdom is toocking, even less than that of a vicious beast, merely some animal instinct, it is a special entity formed by the environment of evil demonic Qi."
He could discern easily, this demon had no intellect, only primal instincts.
Swish!
The monster despises the light. With one swish, it was at Chu Yuan''s side, and withered ws were tearing through the air.
Chu Yuan, in a casual burst, directly struck the creature, causing it to explode. However, instead of flesh and blood, it blew apart to reveal a round ck pearl.
This ck pearl was the core of that creature.
However,pared to a Celestial God warrior who were treasure from head to toe, the demon was a walking poison. Even a Celestial God-level Demon cultivator wouldn''t dare to take in its demonic energy, as it might risk the danger of bing possessed.
"While its body doesn''t contain anything valuable, I wonder whether it''s possible to take control of these beings and turn them into a demonic army?"
As an emperor, Chu Yuan thought more about his armies.
But he also knew that as much as these demons could be easily manipted, they could also be very difficult to control.
Mainly because theycked the intellect. To manipte them, one''s mental prowess must be domineering enough to suppress their will, without the control of mental power they could instantly copse, causing chaos.
Instead of concerning himself with the demon army now, Chu Yuan continued to go deeper.
Within the Demon Abyss, it was like another world, brimming with such demons.
It was rumored that down in its deepest depths, there exist God-like demons, and even demons on par with the ancient Five Emperors.
Fortunately, the demons loved the decayed, dark, and evil conditions of the Demon Abyss, they disliked the bright world on the outside. Otherwise, if they were to run rampant, it would undoubtedly lead to a catastrophe.
"It would be best if I can capture these demons for my own use."
Chu Yuan muttered to himself.
He was extremely curious about these demons, and he had many strategies regarding them.
But now was not the time to implement them.
After many days of exploration, Chu Yuan located the treasure of the Fire God Cave as indicated on the treasure map.
