Hunting God Era

Chapter 168 Water God Collidees with Heavenly Pillar? Emperor Yu Controls the Floods?

What exactly the Primordial Demon Realm is remains unknown. Li Ye can only see the water from the horizon crashing against the giant mountain, but he can't figure it out.

"withdraw!"

After working together to quell the flood, a man who was over two meters tall and even stronger than Yang Jie twisted his neck, shook his whole body, and then raised his hand.

A group of people around him looked at him, seemingly subconsciously taking him as their leader.

"Kong Wen, it's best if everyone stays together. Nobody is familiar with this place, so it's safer to gather together," Wang Qiu said.

He is a typical pragmatist. He is arrogant but also wants to be on equal footing with those above him. Once he realizes that he is not up to par, he will automatically lower his stance and hope to gain more support.

This tall, strong man seemed to be one of the people Li Ye had heard arguing about in the cafeteria, and in his opinion, he was also a contestant who had passed the three levels.

This guy contributed a lot to the combined attack just now.

The loud noise from the mountaintop attracted many people, including some experts.

Although the Demon Realm is vast, its geographical locations vary. The only coastal area is the one Li Ye was traveling through. Similarly, while there are hills and small mountains within the Demon Realm, there is only one high mountain, which was also the direction Su Ao had traveled in earlier.

It's right that some strong individuals subconsciously gravitate towards this direction.

Stop talking nonsense!

Kong Wen cursed, "Now I see it clearly, the Jianghuai region produces talented people!"
These words made Wang Qiu's expression freeze, revealing a look of confusion.

"That person's name is Su Ao, right? He's become a demon, or maybe he's been bewitched by a demonic influence. I just don't understand. In this day and age, how can anyone still be bewitched by a demonic influence? The key is that the demonic influence has grown to this extent, even reaching the Primordial Realm. Do you even know what the Primordial Realm is?!"

Kong Wen waved his hand, "Anyway, I'm not playing with you guys. I'm going to find a safe place to wait for rescue. Someone will definitely come; until then, I just need to make sure I don't die!"

Despite his burly appearance, he is quite knowledgeable, knowing not only about inner demons but also about the Primordial Chaos.
"Wait a minute."

Seeing that Kong Wen was about to leave, Li Ye spoke up: "Do you know about the early Yuan Dynasty? Tell me in detail."

"You do not know?"

Kong Wen glanced at him sideways, a hint of contempt in his eyes. "I know you, Li Ye, who defeated Wang Qiu. You're quite strong, but if you don't know, then so be it. You'll find out when it's your turn. Let's go."

The group of people who came with him followed behind Kong Wen and walked towards Li Ye, intending to bypass him and leave.

Li Ye stretched out a hand, about to stop him.

"You dare stop me? In the Primordial Demon Realm, killing is not illegal, and nobody will know how you died!"

Kong Wen roared, "I've never killed anyone before. Don't become my first victim. Martial artists are meant to slaughter!"

Snapped!
A hand shrouded in black mist slapped Kong Wen across the face, knocking him straight down into the water below, where his legs were submerged.

The flowing water also has its own sluggish gravity, so that once someone falls in, it takes them a long time to get up.

Even after breaking through three barriers, including the Vajra Breaking Army Divine Speed, he still couldn't withstand the power of this palm strike.

After a long pause, he subconsciously got up, but before he could even stand up, Li Ye strode over and slapped him repeatedly across the face.

"I'm asking you a question so you can answer it!"

Snapped!
"Regardless of whether we are all martial artists undergoing assessment or are currently facing a common crisis as humans, you must speak!"

Snapped!
"You have no human consciousness whatsoever, how can you be a martial artist!"

Snapped!
"With a formidable enemy at hand, we should cooperate. Sharing some intelligence is not like I'm going to kill your whole family!"

Snapped!
"You fucking think killing people wasn't illegal in the Primordial Era? You know that's not illegal? Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?!"

Li Ye slapped Kong Wen across the face again. In the end, Kong Wen just covered his face, curled up, and half-submerged in the water.

"Never killed anyone before, so you're planning to kill one? Have you always been this brave? Don't you know I've wiped out entire families?!"

After delivering the final blow, Li Ye straightened up and cursed.

The latter dared not move at all, only turning his face to the side into the water, making it impossible to see his expression, and his mind was also in a state of confusion.

He also practiced top-notch martial arts, using his fists and feet to break through enemy lines. His style was not much different from Li Ye's back then. However, Li Ye practiced his internal energy channels, focusing on endurance rather than speed. But no matter what, he was no ordinary person.

He is also the number one in the hearts of Qingzhou martial artists. Before a martial arts competition, he is best at reasoning with people. He remains calm even when the other party is wielding swords and axes, and he can reason with people while fighting.

He possesses both Vajra and Breaking Army attributes, and his Divine Speed ​​is at the 'String' level. He has enough strength to be so arrogant, which is also an ancient 'virtue' of his Kong family.

He was originally prepared to do the same if Li Ye had forcibly blocked his way, but...
He was the one who started it first, both in terms of ideas and actions!

But why did the other person use it first, and with such skill?
Most importantly, Kong Wen was stunned. He was a second-realm martial artist who had broken through three levels, and he was one of the top martial arts students in the country, no, even the world. He was easily stunned!
What is the strength of the opposing team?
There are no "beginner villages" in the world, at least not on Earth. A person's level is closely related to the level of the whole world. They are all martial arts, and they are all cultivation. Even the most talented person has a limit. They all progress. It is not possible for someone to be at the second level of martial arts here and someone to suddenly become at the fourth level there.

At this age, with this level of ability, he would be among the top in the world.

In foreign countries, he would be a true aristocrat, a tycoon, and a powerful martial artist who treats people like livestock.

But now it's very straightforward; he's been beaten so badly he can't fight back.

This didn't even feel like a fight; it was more like he was being attacked all by himself!
After Li Ye finished beating the man, he looked around. The martial artists who had followed Kong Wen and were about to rise up all lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

The others dared not speak. Even one of the martial artists who had been eager to try and was preparing to go alone showed a fawning smile when he saw Li Ye looking over.

"Who are you?" Li Ye asked.

He saw that this person had also broken through three levels.

"Hello, Brother Li. My name is Xie Hong. I'm just a minor martial artist, nothing to mention."

Xie Hong immediately said, "Furthermore, I strongly agree with your statement. We should indeed work together to resolve the threat, take it upon ourselves as martial artists to eliminate demons, put aside our differences, and unite against external threats."

Li Ye was taken aback, then sneered, "Your name is quite fitting, isn't this a flood discharge site? And you've got a whole repertoire of words, like someone from an official family?"

"Doing a little thing doesn't count as being an official," Xie Hong said modestly.

These words caused the nearby Lingnan martial artists to show expressions of surprise.

In their impression, Xie Hong was extremely arrogant. He seemed gentle and mild-mannered, but in reality, he was arrogant to the core and looked down on everyone.

But they have the resources to back it up. The Xie family is not only a prominent family in Lingnan, but also a family that has integrated into the national system. They are at least the kings of Lingnan, if not in a high position of power.

He himself, in particular, was the pride of the Xie family, ranking first in martial arts in Lingnan and a master who had broken through three barriers. But given the current situation, even breaking through three barriers was no longer an option!
When he first arrived for the assessment, he already knew that in a certain canteen, the martial artists from Lingnan and Qingzhou had gotten into a fight, and he and Kong Wen were among the parties involved.

Of course, as someone who had also passed three trials, he was bound to be arrogant. Although he disagreed with Kong Wen's words, he also had his own thoughts.

Wang Qiu was right, but since Kong Wen wasn't going to get involved, he planned to gather everyone together to make them appear more powerful, especially this guy named Li Liye, who seemed to be quite capable and could be a good weapon if used properly.

But I never expected it to be such a good knife, so powerful that those around it were not human, and ordinary people could not get close, otherwise they would become fish and meat.

Although their cultivation levels are similar, he is no match for Kong Wen in terms of combat strength.

They both possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, but he had a skill called Soul Fixation, which made him slightly weaker in human combat, though he had some advantages in dealing with demons.

Kong Wen has been beaten so badly, he must be no match for him either, and can only be chopped up.

Fortunately, he was pragmatic and, with Kong Wen's example before him, he wouldn't repeat the same mistake.

"If it's official, then it's easy to handle."

Li Ye took out his ID and showed it to Xie Hong. "Li Ye from Ningjiang Disinfection Bureau, this is an emergency, not an assessment. All demons are under the jurisdiction of the Disinfection Bureau. You all follow my orders."

Xie Hong's eyes widened visibly when he saw the identification.

He certainly recognized that document; in fact, he could distinguish it from other documents.

The badge on his ID is a Bixie (a mythical beast), and this guy isn't just a data clerk; he's a disinfection worker specializing in weapons. And the rank on his ID is bureau chief?!

Good guy!
At this age, with this level of martial arts skill, and these achievements, it's already quite impressive.

Xie Hong himself did not participate in any department, but he had an understanding of the relationships between the departments. The disinfection department was the most difficult to work in. Many people who entered the disinfection department full of vigor were either forced to become ineffective or resigned in a fit of anger and went to beat people up instead.

Judging from Li Ye's demeanor, he's not some incompetent, subservient person; he's a ruthless individual who has firmly established himself.

But this also allowed Xie Hong to let go of the last bit of resentment in his heart. The other party was more capable than him and occupied a high position at a young age, so what else was there to say?

“I know that in the early Yuan Dynasty, this place was a land of high mountains eroded by water. It seems to be not very large in scale, probably only at the level of ‘biography’, but I don’t know exactly what it is. The Kong family has studied this aspect quite a bit.”

As Xie Hong spoke, he looked at Kong Wen lying in the water and said, "The Kong family is an old family in Qingzhou. They can trace their lineage back to the Shenzhou period. We are not. We are just a small family. We only achieved some success after the establishment of Shenzhou. We don't know as much about them as they do."

The two words sound the same, but Li Ye can understand them.

In modern times, "Shenzhou" mostly refers to place names, but in ancient dynasties, due to the existence of warriors and demons, the names were different.

The earliest era is unknown, but it has been known as the Secret Xia since the Xia Dynasty.

Secret Xia, Ghost Merchant, Divine Zhou, Immortal Qin, Heavenly Han, Prosperous Tang, Reasonable Song, Fierce Yuan, Martial Ming, Demonic Qing. The last one is because this period is the most verifiable, and it was found that demons were everywhere, so it earned this title.

The Kong family.
Li Ye now knew what kind of family this was.

"We're not going to talk about that anymore. Stop playing dead and get up!"

Li Ye lifted Kong Wen up. Despite being over two meters tall, Kong Wen looked like a chick in Li Ye's hands. He was lifted to a standing position, swaying and staggering for a long time before finally settling into a stable posture.

He knew his own strength. Although he used the Great Hand Seal Technique, the force was just right. It would confuse him but not hurt his brain, and he wouldn't die.

Kong Wen's face turned pale and then flushed. He looked at the martial artists staring at him, hesitated for a moment, and weakly explained, "The water was too heavy."

Those around him nodded in agreement.

"What is 'biographical' level?" Li Ye asked.

Kong Wenzheng composed himself and said decisively, "There are four levels of Primordial Chaos. The lowest level is the 'Biography' level. Most Primordial Chaos events are based on stories and characters, but some great demons also create their own Primordial Chaos."

"The 'regional' level above that generally covers a very wide area, from one city to several provinces. It is also very strange and wonderful. It may be a combination of multiple 'biographies' or it may be formed by local customs and legends."

"Above that, there's the Battlefield level. If you're from the Elimination Bureau, then you should know about the East China Sea. That's the Primordial Realm at the Battlefield level. It contains not only modern nations but also demonized demon realms organized by country, which is extremely troublesome."

"And then there's the top-tier 'Mythical' level, but we don't know about that yet; it's just been passed down, and it's said that this level exists."

Upon hearing this, Li Ye suddenly realized something and asked, "Is the 'Sodom' in the West the same as the Yuan Dynasty?"

Kong Wen nodded: "Yes, the core internally is at the regional level, and the pollution outwards is like that of Yancheng."

That infamous Demon Realm, capable of turning people into salt at will, is actually only a regional level?
Before Li Ye could ask any further questions, Kong Wen said:
“Look around here, it seems like you can’t see the boundary, but the horizon of the sea is the limit. On the other side, you can only see the flood, and you can’t see anything beyond that. That’s also the limit. This place is only this big.”

"If you force your way forward, your senses will be that you are moving forward, but if you look back, you will find that the distance has not changed. This area can only let us see water rushing against the mountains. If there is only this one thing, then it is most likely a 'biography'."

Li Ye looked at the scene of water crashing against the mountain and frowned. "The biography... literally, is it about water hitting rocks?"

“Yes, any biography related to this could potentially be transformed into a demon, or it could be a variation of the legends of people from the three southeastern provinces themselves. It’s quite complicated,” Kong Wen said honestly.

He's very well-behaved now, just like those people he's 'reasoned with'.

"That's too many."

Li Ye understood immediately, "The most typical examples are the water god hitting the pillar of heaven and Emperor Yu controlling the floods. Surely there can't be any 'biographies' about these two, right?"

"Also a possibility."

Kong Wen considered for a moment and said, "But if it's just a 'biography,' then the intensity isn't that high. It's more likely to be a fragment of history, or some strange legends that have arisen from the changes over time."

"Unofficial history?" Li Ye looked over.

Kong Wen nodded.

Li Ye chuckled, "What, is the Water God using a hook to lure the Heavenly Pillar into breaking?"

"It's not that wild."

Kong Wen pursed his lips and said, "But if we want to stop it, we can only go to the source of the incident and find the demons involved. However, this is not something we can do, as we are at least fourth-level martial artists, so we can only wait for someone to come to our rescue."

"The Primordial Demon Realm has nodes. It's difficult for us to find the nodes inside, but it's easy to get in from the outside."

You're right.

Li Ye pointed ahead and said, "But right now, the demons here are clearly not giving us a chance."

Boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant mountain that had been washed by the water suddenly trembled and made a loud, shaking sound, and actually moved towards him little by little!
