Chapter 448 - 448 Patiently Waiting
Originally, Lin Xuan was not able to invade the entire northern lands so quickly. However, after ten days, countless Totem Gods abandoned the village. If they stayed, they would not be able to escape the fate of death.
There were gods who had a sumptuous meal before they escaped, but Lin Xuan had immediately announced that he would kill anyone who dared to devour a human no matter where they went!
It was the same for the wild beasts. When they saw that there was no god guarding the village, their greed magnified. They wanted to rush in, eat a few people, and leave. However, in order to protect the human race as much as possible, Lin Xuan temporarily hired dozens of earth-rank powerhouses from Taixia to protect these people.
In addition to earth-rank powerhouses, every village had a Flying Thunder Gate. After going through the door, it would be Xia City. There was no time wasted on the road at all.
Right now, the only thing in front of Lin Xuan was the Demon Dragon City. As long as he dealt with the Demon Dragon City, the entire northern lands would be taken over by the great Xia Dynasty.
The population of Xia City had already exceeded the 100 million mark. In the Demon Dragon City, there were still more than 30 million people alive.
The Xia Dynasty had already entered its heyday with a huge population. However, it could barely survive with the blood beast from Taixia Country. Additionally, it constantly cultivated land and hunted wild beasts. With the help of many talents in the Xia Dynasty, it finally survived this sudden increase in population.
The situation of the human race was great in the eyes of ordinary people. They were getting stronger and stronger, and their population was increasing. There were rising warriors and young geniuses.
Only Lin Xuan and the higher-ups of the Xia Dynasty knew that the splendor was just an outward appearance. As long as they dealt with the Demon Dragon City, Lin Xuan and the others would be able to slowly enhance Xia Dynasty at their own pace. They could even provide Taixia with a lot of manpower support. They could completely solidify the foundation of the great Xia Dynasty, and they would have the potential to capitalize the entire wilderness world dungeon.
Lin Xuan wasn’t sure if they could deal with Demon Dragon City quickly. If it was 15 days ago, Lin Xuan would have told everyone to quickly go to Taixia and invite the Bright Phoenix over for support!
He had planned to do the same in the beginning. If he couldn’t win, he would call his wife over to fight with him. It wasn’t embarrassing to ask for help. It would be embarrassing if he lost.
Now that the Xia Dynasty has been running smoothly without hiccups, there was nothing to fear anymore. It was a feudal monarchy with a population of more than 100 million. All indicators pointed them in a good direction. There was food, clothing, and shelter for everyone. The happiness index of the residents was bursting with color.. As a Human Emperor, the feedback Lin Xuan received from cultivation was ocean-like.
It could be said that his daily income could match that of the 300 years accumulation in Taixia Country!
In a short 30 days, Lin Xuan’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds… It was a small improvement, but this advancement was godlike. He was now at the peak of earth-rank, and it was all thanks to the fact that he was cultivating the Dao Body. To put it simply, he was using strength to prove the Dao, and it had nothing to do with the comprehension of the laws. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to stand at the peak of earth-rank.
At the foot of the volcano, Lin Xuan stood at the forefront, releasing his terrifying earth-rank aura. None of the powerful fighters of Demon Dragon City could be tough in front of Lin Xuan. There was no other way. Most of the wild beasts in Demon Dragon City were dragon beasts, and they were naturally inferior to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan didn’t care about the Beastmasters in the Demon Dragon City at all. He was waiting for the boss of Demon Dragon City with great interest. He could clearly sense that the beast in the Demon Dragon City was trying to break through to heaven-rank, but unfortunately, the timing wasn’t right. The wilderness world dungeon hadn’t broken through with the Three Treasures yet. Even if it did break through forcefully, it would only be a pseudo heaven-rank, and its strength would be weaker than an earth-rank invincible beast.
“He’ll be out soon. Surrender quickly, or you’ll all die!”
“Great Emperor of the Xia Dynasty, you should surrender. Your human race will perish!”
“Your Majesty, don’t be so stubborn. How can a human defeat a wild beast?”
“Human Emperor…”
The beasts in the Demon Dragon City looked at Lin Xuan with fear and called him a fool. Their eyes were filled with killing intent and blood, and they wanted to rush up and tear Lin Xuan apart with their teeth.
As for the human Beastmasters standing next to the dragons, they had complicated feelings. They were happy to see the human race rise again, and it was unexpected that the Xia Dynasty would end up like this. However, they were also very clear on how powerful the fire dragon God — who had slumbered in the volcano and suppressed the northern lands for hundreds of years — was. One breath could destroy heaven and earth, a single slash could break mountains, and a flutter of wings could cause an uproar. Just by standing still, he could intimidate millions of enemies!
“The old era of the wild beasts and gods has passed. The new era of the human race has arrived. I am not asking you to fight for the Xia Dynasty, but I hope that you can stand by quietly and witness the historical turning point of the rise of the human race.”
Lin Xuan’s tone was calm, but it was not difficult to hear the strong self-confidence contained in it. A new era that belonged to the human race was about to arrive!
The group of dragons roared in retaliation. They didn’t believe that their God would lose. However, after being duped by the group of Beastmasters, they gave up on the urge to attack with all their forces. They knew very well that the battle that belonged to them was insignificant. It didn’t affect the outcome of the battle if they tried or not. Only the battle between the demon dragon and Lin Xuan, the Human Emperor, was of utmost importance.
Both of them had the ability to kill all beasts and humans. As long as there was a winner between the two, that would be enough.
Lin Xuan was waiting for the demon dragon to walk out of the volcano. He could afford to wait.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, an extremely terrifying explosion suddenly sounded from within the volcano. Pure gold lava shot up into the sky, and thick black smoke spewed out from the crater. A powerful aura was slowly rising up from the ground.
The invincible aura of the earth-rank!
It seemed that the demon dragon still didn’t choose to break through to the heaven-rank. It was the right choice.
Lin Xuan smiled. Earth-rank or sky-rank, it didn’t matter to him. To him, he just had to win this battle no matter what. If he lost, the human race would have no future!
A melodious dragon’s roar resounded in the sky, and a dragon with a body that shimmered with red and gold rose from the lava and soared into the clouds. After circling a few times, it slowly landed on the ground and looked at Lin Xuan with a pair of cold eyes.
“You’re a dragon?”
