Genshin Impact: The Beginning of the Wind

Is this really a life form that can exist in this mortal world? Even the Judgment-class Honkai Beasts with specialized body shapes are no better than this, right?

Such a thought popped into Su Feng's mind, but he soon had no time to think about it any further, because he finally saw the huge dragon king's remains with a hole filled with traces of abyssal corrosion, and various demonic creatures and vast abyssal power emerging from it.

In order to break through the blockade of his once-proud, sturdy body, the fallen dragon king did not hesitate to use the abyss to completely destroy and devour his remaining body. After opening up a passage whose length no one knew, the fallen dragon king finally accomplished what he wanted to do.

"Tiny insect, feel the fury of the abyss and the destroyed!"

Perhaps sensing Su Feng's gaze, a huge, crimson eyeball, almost filling the passage from which abyssal monsters were constantly emerging, suddenly opened. Accompanied by the Fallen Dragon King's angry roar, the abyssal tidal wave, seemingly solidified, transformed into a terrifying crimson beam of light and pierced towards Su Feng.

"Then let me see what kind of power you've gained by flattering your new master after abandoning the pride of a dragon to become a lackey of the abyss."

Faced with the Fallen Dragon King's roar, Su Feng responded with his own taunt without any concern. As he moved, the surging light force seemed to transform into a tornado and began to spin. Then, under Su Feng's control, it swept down along the spatial rift.

When the two collided, the terrifying force suddenly overturned the mysterious space that was the center of the battle, and then the violent shockwave spread out to both sides!

Su Feng didn't know what was happening on the Fallen Dragon King's side, but when the violent shockwave tore through the spatial barrier and penetrated Teyvat, it immediately pulverized all the ruins surrounding the Sky Spike into dust.

The thick rock walls were worthless before the power that seemed capable of destroying the world. The entire earth trembled instantly, and when the aftershocks of the power fell on the rock walls, they carved out unimaginably deep openings.

Some of the cave entrances were even large enough to see tiny specks of light if you looked through them—the aftershocks of that tiny amount of power actually penetrated countless layers of rock and reached the ground!

The sheer power unleashed by both sides is thus evident.

Even so, it is not the end, but merely the beginning.

Because neither side suffered any injury under such an impact, and the next wave of power had already been gathered!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Both Sides Have Their Own Methods

In the first round of probing, neither side gained any advantage. Both Su Feng and the Fallen Dragon King immediately realized that their opponents were not someone they could defeat in a short time.

However, Su Feng didn't care about this. After all, he had endless energy. If it didn't work the first time, he would try again. So when he realized that the first attack had no effect, he immediately gathered more and stronger light energy to prepare for an extravagant and inhumane bombardment.

Of course, while preparing for an even more intense bombardment, Su Feng also separated a light bullet composed of endless light force that seemed to block out the entire field of vision for a moment, and smashed it towards the spatial rift corroded by the abyss.

He didn't expect these light-elemental bombs to do anything to the fallen dragon king; just delaying his actions a little would be enough, because he was sure he could give the fallen dragon king a huge surprise next.

However, unexpectedly, when Su Feng chose to attack while gathering even stronger energy again, the Fallen Dragon King on the other side also chose to do something similar to him.

An even larger number of abyssal monsters continued to converge from the other side of the border. These monsters, devoid of any sense of self, paid no heed to the light force bombs that relentlessly rained down on them, leaving not even a speck of dust behind. Driven by the Fallen Dragon King, these monsters frantically advanced towards Su Feng.

He essentially used these monsters as one-time releasers of Abyssal power—the boundaries of the world still prevented his power from passing through on a large scale, so he hoped that these monsters carrying Abyssal power would die more often in Teyvat.

Once these monsters die in Teyvat, the abyssal power hidden within them will be released into Teyvat, and Su Feng must use his own power to cleanse and remove this abyssal power.

Su Feng, forced to be distracted, will definitely be able to accumulate much less power.

As expected, the people in the abyss are just as inhuman as those in the heavens; they're practically equal!

Because he didn't know that Su Feng could draw energy from the imaginary space at any time, the Fallen Dragon King might still harbor the idea of ​​directly exhausting Su Feng while preserving his own strength.

After all, Teyvat has to deal with more than just Su Feng. Even with the entire Abyss as its backing, it still needs to carefully plan every bit of energy at this time.

If it suffers serious injury or excessive damage, even it will take a long time to recover, so it is not unreasonable to use these ignorant monsters as consumables when necessary.

Of course, because it is backed by the Abyss, it has many and sufficient ways to replenish itself, so it is much better than the gods of Teyvat who are struggling to make ends meet. But this does not mean that it can really play the game of attrition as recklessly as Su Feng.

Whether it's Su Feng or the Fallen Dragon King, neither side is hiding their intentions—they both want to wear the other down!

Soon, the light-elemental bombs rained down and collided directly with the endless monsters, instantly turning the lowest level of the entire Layered Rock Abyss into a brutal slaughterhouse.

"Roar!"

The Fallen Dragon King quickly realized that Su Feng didn't care about his own consumption at all, which was indeed beyond his imagination—since Teyvat went to its death, even the beings on Sky Island were extremely stingy with any power. Those cowardly bastards had even begun to make large-scale use of the pitiful power generated by the souls of mortals as a supplement.

Those guys used to be proud of their pure and flawless power, but now, in order to survive, they still have to endure the power of 'tiny insects of the mortal world' filling their bodies.

But now, this being of the Light Realm is so recklessly squandering its power? Does this guy have a death wish?

The Fallen Dragon King, who hadn't seen a creature of the Light Realm so unrestrained in a long time, was filled with doubt and worry. He couldn't figure out what was going on with Su Feng. After all, creatures of the Light Realm in the high heavens were never very smart, and it wasn't uncommon for them to self-destruct at the slightest provocation.

He couldn't be sure if Su Feng was the kind of being from the Light Realm who, for some rather strange reason, didn't want to live anymore and was simply planning to give him a surprise.

This situation has happened before, and the Abyss has suffered losses before, so his tension and doubt at this moment are not unfounded.

Even he had to admit that if he were to suffer Su Feng's reckless and desperate attack, even if he survived, he would likely enter a terrifying slumber lasting for thousands of years, which was something he could not accept.

"Buzz!"

The Fallen Dragon King was confused and hesitant because of Su Feng's overly unrestrained way of displaying power, but Su Feng had no intention of stopping to wait for the other party to come to his senses.

The increasingly powerful force continued to gather in Su Feng's hands, and soon a seemingly small wind ball gradually took shape in Su Feng's hands.

The wind sphere looked quite beautiful—the purest light energy seemed to form a flawless white cloak, with the gentle breeze swirling around it in the most tangible way.

Once the small, exquisite wind ball was fully formed, Su Feng couldn't help but reveal a joyful smile.

"Come, you pathetic, fallen dragon, taste the feast I have prepared for you!"

Once the wind ball in his hand had stabilized, Su Feng said this in a voice with a hint of mischief, and along with the sound, the wind ball slipped from his hand.

"Woooooo~"

After breaking free from Su Feng's control, the wind ball, which was originally only the size of a palm, expanded rapidly during its descent. In the blink of an eye, this small wind ball had grown into a behemoth comparable to a mountain.

"Damn Gao Tian's lackey!"

The Fallen Dragon King, who had been hesitant, was enraged upon seeing this scene. He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within the wind orb.

Even if it were to swallow such a windball without any protection, it would probably end up with severe injuries. But if this windball were to fall now, its incredibly abundant light energy might temporarily create a forbidden zone filled with light energy on the wound it created, a zone that most abyssal creatures would be unable to enter!

This was unacceptable to the Fallen Dragon Lord, who was already planning to let the dying Teyvat breathe its last breath—if this field of light were to form, the power of the Abyss would no longer be able to be massively channeled into Teyvat through this gap.

This area doesn't need to be maintained for too long. Once the mortal gods arrive, a seal that plugs the gap can be formed for a longer period. At that time, all they can do is rage in vain. Therefore, we absolutely cannot let Su Feng achieve his goal.

However, in an instant, after realizing the threat contained in the wind ball thrown by Su Feng, the Fallen Dragon King reacted almost at the fastest speed.

"In the name of Zahaka, the former son of the earth and now the dragon, land covered by the abyss, show me your power!"

The fallen dragon king, Zahaka, declared his fury and wrath upon everything. In response, a dark purple abyss, symbolizing the abyss, rapidly spread across his former body, and the abyss, like a tidal wave, displayed its rage at his call.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: But this place has even less of a moral bottom line.

The original Rock Dragon King was a proud dragon. As the embodiment of the earth, he was the purest and most untamed creature of the Light Realm. The original creatures of the Light Realm in Teyvat and the creatures of the Light Realm in the high heavens now are not the same thing. At least the dragons still have physical bodies, but the creatures of the Light Realm now are more like Su Feng, whose entire bodies are made of Light Realm energy.

Even if the light-boundary beings were to dismantle their body tissues, it wouldn't matter, as long as the light-boundary force that constitutes their bodies still exists, then everything would be fine.

Well, the only downside is that doing this is somewhat inconsistent with the values ​​of mortals and flesh-and-blood beings.

Even though their physical compositions are vastly different, both of them, having survived because of the power of the Light Realm, will instinctively resist the erosion of the Abyss.

After all, the Abyss and the Light Sphere are clearly incompatible. If the Light Sphere that constitutes oneself is altered, then is one still oneself?

The Fallen Rock Dragon King is now facing this problem.

Although the soul is still the same, and it can even slightly manipulate the power of the former Rock Dragon King in some ways, its soul has ultimately been completely corrupted by the abyss, and even its once noble name has been lost.

He is now the dragon and god of the abyss—Zahak!

What Zahaka is doing now is to completely sever his last hope of recovery. He is desperately urging the power of the abyss to corrode and destroy his last remaining body, because this body, still filled with the power of the light realm, has now become an obstacle for him to enter Teyvat. The huge wound that was initially corroded was not enough for him to unleash enough power.

After discovering that Su Feng indeed possessed the power and potential to stop him, Zahaka finally made up his mind. Regardless of the cost, he commanded the Abyss to begin completely corrupting his former body in order to release more Abyss into Teyvat.

The immense power of the light realm within the remnants of the rock dragon was continuously devoured and eroded, while an even more surging abyssal power poured into Teyvat through the corroded opening. However, this power originating from the abyss was quickly gathered by Zahaka into a raging tide of the abyss.

"boom!"

The wind sphere constructed by Su Feng descended from the sky, and under Zahaka's command, the abyss, like a tidal wave, stirred up towering waves that completely swallowed the now enormous wind sphere.

However, to Zahaka's surprise, the abyss that enveloped the storm ball suddenly began to expand and dissipate.

Under Su Feng's control, the power of the light realm and the ideal fluid he created were completely fused together. The indestructible 'wind of light' sprayed out from the wind sphere like sharp blades. Even the abyssal waves, which had become extremely thick with the support of the abyssal world at all costs, were so fragile that they had no chance of resisting the wind of light.

The Abyss is still very powerful. Putting aside its inherent advantages, the current wave of power generated by the Abyss, under Zahaka's relentless summoning and manipulation, is enough to overwhelm Su Feng.

After all, it would be a bit much to ask him to compete with a vast world in terms of energy output per unit of time, even if the Abyss hasn't invested all its power into him yet.

Su Feng wasn't foolish enough to think he could compare to a powerful world right now. It would be better to discuss this issue after he had completely and thoroughly taken control of the 'Cocoon'.

However, the fact that he can't compare in terms of energy scale doesn't mean that Su Feng really can't deal with the Abyss. After all, he is a Herrscher!

To be honest, given enough time, he alone could destroy the world. If his energy level isn't high enough, he can make up for it with skill and power!

As a test of the Imaginary Tree, a Herrscher must be quite skilled to be considered a true test.

Just like the wind of light that Su Feng is releasing now, the wind of light after fusing the power of the light realm and the authority of the herald is absolutely powerful. The almost unstoppable wind of light easily cuts apart the abyss and silt blocking its way. And when the power of the abyss is divided, it is quickly surrounded and obliterated.

During this process, Su Feng weakened the Abyss's restraining power to the greatest extent possible, and even continued to draw a small portion of the Light Realm Power from the obliterated and decomposed Abyss as a supplement to maintain and expand the scale of the entire Wind of Light!

The Abyss should have the ability to restrain the power of the Light Realm, but when faced with the wind of light created by Su Feng, not only was this restraint not displayed, but it was even severely restrained by him!

After severing a considerable area of ​​the abyss, the wind of light that was unleashed naturally fell upon the remains of the rock dragon below. However, this wind of light, which was powerful enough to easily cut through and destroy the abyss, silently merged into the rock dragon's fading scales after landing on its remains.

When the light barrier power carrying Su Feng's will became a supplement to the rock dragon's remains, and when Su Feng frantically poured his power into the rock dragon's remains in front of his aggrieved master, Zahaka, who saw this scene through the world barrier, once again fell into a rage.

"Damn it, Gao Tian's lackey, what are you doing!"

Although it was a body he had long since abandoned, and although Zahaka had used the abyss to corrode his former body without a care, Zahaka still felt like he was going crazy when Su Feng prepared to take away his former body in front of him.

How could anyone do such a thing? Don't you have any shame?

"Since you no longer need this body, and since you have raised your sword against the world that once gave birth to you, then it is only natural for me to take back the power that Teyvat once bestowed upon you."

"After all, this originally belonged to Teyvat, didn't it?"

Su Feng didn't care at all when faced with Zahaka's rage. He even started rubbing salt into the wound—since it was already a fight to the death, he might as well make it clean.

Moreover, Su Feng was very eager for the Rock Dragon Power that still lingered in the Rock Dragon's remains. Now that he finally had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to make good use of this Rock Dragon Power. Whether he could unlock the second core depended on Zahakanu's efforts!

Thinking of this, Su Feng quickened his pace again, and an even larger amount of light energy spread directly from his body and poured onto the rock dragon's remains without any regard for its size. After receiving Su Feng's light energy, the rock dragon's remains, which had become dim and even broken under the erosion of the abyss, seemed to gradually become more vibrant.

"Roar! You're asking for it!"

After witnessing Su Feng's blatant actions, Zahaka could no longer endure the torment. A massive dragon claw suddenly ripped from the huge wound on the rock dragon's mangled body. This fallen dragon king seemed intent on eliminating Su Feng in one fell swoop.

However, at this very moment...

"The heavens are moving!"

An unknown domain suddenly tore open space, and a dazzling bright yellow light completely permeated everything around it. Then, a brilliant celestial star, carrying unstoppable power, slammed down towards the dragon's deep and filthy claws.

"boom!"

The next moment, endless rock element completely invaded everything around it.
