The Legend of the Demon Hunter

The full text of "Confessions":

The unknown southern continent is an ancient territory, where several races completely different from humans live. These races are called monsters by humans. But in this southern continent, they have another name: the seventy-two alien races.

The origin of the seventy-two alien tribes is very long. According to records, it is at least more than 100,000 years old. They and humans are separated by the Wangtian Mountains. For tens of millions of years, they have coexisted on the critical continent without interfering with each other.

The seventy-two alien races are actually a collection of seventy-two races. These races have different appearances and abilities. There are ancient races such as elves and dragons who live on the top of the pyramid, as well as frogs and fire moths who have a lifespan of only a few years and are not as strong as adult humans.

Although there are some conflicts among the seventy-two races, in the dark, a magical balance is still maintained between the races. This balance has lasted for one hundred thousand years, and none of the seventy-two races has become extinct in the long river of history.

This balance that lasted for 100,000 years was completely broken after a few humans entered this continent. These people were the Red Lotus Cultists led by Jin Ling'er.

At first, when Jin Ling'er first came to the Southern Continent, she did not know the existence of alien races, and all her energy was focused on finding the other two holy artifacts.

With the power she possessed at that time, even a beast king-level monster would have to flee when it encountered her, not to mention that she had the help of Ziye, Yuejiao and others around her.

Therefore, Jin Ling'er did not encounter many obstacles in the process of searching for the holy weapon, and she arrived at the southernmost land as if walking on flat ground.

I forgot to introduce one thing. The distribution of the seventy-two alien races shows a trend from south to north and from strong to weak. Simply put, the further south a race lives, the stronger it is and the higher its level. For example, the elves live in the Eternal Forest in the extreme south.

Jin Ling'er soon discovered that the holy artifact "New Sprout" was hidden in the Eternal Forest and came here. At that time, the previous queen of the elves had just passed away, and the new queen Nuomi was only over two hundred years old. Among the elves, this was a young age, but Nuomi was very thoughtful. She warmly received Jin Ling'er and others who came to visit, and listened to Jin Ling'er's guesses about the five holy artifacts and breaking the world.

Jin Ling'er also put forward her request. She wanted to borrow the holy artifact New Sprout from the elves. Regardless of whether the boundary breaking was successful or not, she would return the holy artifact as promised.

Of course, this news was too shocking, and it was difficult for Nuomi to decide whether to hand over the holy weapon to Jin Ling'er, so she found another male elf named Rick.

Unlike Nuomi, Reike is over a thousand years old and is known as a genius boy of the elves. At this time, Reike already has the strength comparable to that of a sixth-level beast king, and is mentally mature. Given time, he will surely become a pillar of the elves.

In fact, there is an unknown story hidden between Nuomi and Rick - Nuomi has always admired and had a crush on Rick since she was a child, and Rick also has some feelings for Nuomi, but this feeling is only in its infancy.

Rick and Nuomi finally reached an agreement and they agreed to lend the sacred artifact New Sprout to Jin Ling'er.

At the same time, Rick made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations. He chose to join Jin Ling'er's camp to find the fifth holy weapon and explore the secret of breaking the world.

But once he left, he never came back.

Since I am not good at fighting, I did not participate in that final battle, and a lot of information is inferred based on what happened later, which may not be that accurate.

Jin Ling'er and his group left the Eternal Forest. At this time, the team had reached unprecedented strength. Jin Ling'er, Yue Jiao and Ziye were all hunting kings. In addition, there was a beast king named Yun Ke in their group, plus the elf's Rick. To use an exaggerated metaphor, with the strength of these five people, just a stomp of their feet would cause the entire critical continent to shake.

In fact, if we count the four holy objects, this metaphor is not an exaggeration.

They headed to their final destination, the Dragon Clan.

Because they received information that the last holy weapon, that is, the unknown magic weapon ranked first on the Divine Weapon List, was in the hands of the dragon clan deep in the Dragon Roar Sea in the southernmost part.

As for whether Jin Ling'er finally got this holy weapon, I'm not sure, but my guess is that she did. I have witnessed her mind, means and eloquence with my own eyes. I'm afraid no one in this world can match her. Even if the dragon clan is stronger than her, she has a way to get this holy weapon.

But just when Jin Ling'er obtained the five holy artifacts to achieve her goal, a huge betrayal occurred.

This was a long-planned betrayal. Even though Yue Jiao and Jin Ling'er were like sisters and Zi Ye loved Jin Ling'er deeply, in order to break through the boundaries and become a god, she gave up friendship and love and resolutely betrayed everything.

It was a full moon night 1574 years ago. The power of Shura first attacked Ziye and Rick. Both of them were killed without any preparation. Only Yuejiao survived the betrayal and fled northward.

Afterwards, the breath of Shura began to spread from south to north. All those infected by the breath of Shura underwent changes. The monsters turned into alien shapes, and the dead crawled out of their graves. They turned north and launched an attack on the entire critical continent.

The first to be affected is the Eternal Forest where the elves live!

How could the peace-loving elves resist such a violent force? Before long, more than half of the elves were killed or wounded, and they were facing a catastrophe.

Fortunately, two major forces stood up at the critical moment and joined forces with the elves to resist the power of Shura. One of them was the Howling Moon Wolf Clan, and the other major force was Yue Jiao, a woman of the Divine Moon bloodline who hid in the Eternal Forest after being betrayed when traveling with Jin Ling'er.

Yue Jiao's divine moon power was extremely sensitive to Shura power, so she was the first to realize Jin Ling'er's betrayal and fled the battlefield as soon as possible, thus avoiding being killed.

But at that time, Jin Ling'er had already mastered four or even five holy artifacts. Even if Yue Jiao was aware of her betrayal, how could she be her opponent?

But just when everyone was in despair, something magical happened.

That night, the full moon in the sky suddenly turned red, emitting a blood-like light. The entire earth was shrouded in red. The bodies of the seventy-two alien races underwent changes under the blood moon. Not only did their strength increase significantly, they even turned into emotionless, unconscious, and thoughtless killing machines, and launched a counterattack against the Shura army led by Jin Ling'er.

It turned out that Yue Jiao had always been wary of Jin Ling'er's Shura power. She hid the forbidden technique she had researched, the Blood Moon Disaster, which really played an unexpected role in the critical moment.

The brutality of that war is hard to describe in words. Hundreds of thousands of beastmen died on the battlefield, and more than fifty of the seventy-two alien races were completely wiped out. Only those that were powerful or far away from the battlefield remained. After that, the term "seventy-two alien races" no longer existed.

In order to survive, the beastmen fled southward desperately. They even crossed the Wangtian Mountains to invade human territory, thus forming the current world pattern.
