Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

Seeing Lan Tian's serious expression, Heulia and Gui Zhong also became serious.

"Go quickly, Blue Sky! The Tianheng Mountain defense line is of utmost importance!"

Gui Zhong spoke solemnly.

Heureia, standing to the side, nodded in agreement and said seriously:

"With us here, Guixiuli will not be breached!"

"Please help me out, see you later!"

Lan Tian nodded slightly to the two of them, then turned and shot off towards Tianheng Mountain. A sonic boom immediately followed, and Lan Tian's figure disappeared in an instant.

On the way, Lan Tian took out the Shura Token from his waist and contacted Morax:

"Morac, there's something unusual going on at the Tianheng Mountain defense line. It's suspected to be a demon god-level power. We need to go and investigate. I'm already on my way!"

A moment later, Morax's calm voice came from the Asura Token:

"Understood, old friend, I'll be there soon."

After losing contact, Lan Tian immediately switched to his rocky form and continued heading towards Tianheng Mountain, thinking to himself:

Hopefully it's not something bad... The Tianheng Mountain defense line absolutely cannot fall!

……

A quarter of an hour later, Lan Tian, ​​clad in rock-hard armor, descended majestically from the sky to the summit of Tianheng Mountain, instantly creating a spiderweb-like crack on the ground. However, Lan Tian quickly repaired it with a wave of his hand.

Standing up, Lan Tian, ​​wearing a rock mask, glanced at the Asura Knights who were already waiting in formation beside the Returning Machine, then solemnly addressed Luo Xue and Maxius, who had clearly been waiting for some time:

"Luo Xue, Maxius, how is the situation? Can you confirm it's a demon god-level power?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue and Marcus exchanged a glance, nodded, and then shook their heads.

“Master, Junior Sister Luo and I can clearly confirm that the power of that vibration is at the level of a demon god, but…”

Marcus frowned, his expression turning somewhat strange, and then said:

"But the strange thing is that we didn't find any demon god nearby, not even a trace of their aura..."

Luo Xue, who was wearing a Yaksha mask, quickly added:

"Lord Shura, there's another strange place. The amplitude and scale of the tremors... are exactly the same as the power of a high-level demon god whose strength is similar to yours. But the problem is, there aren't any high-level demon gods fighting around here..."

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian frowned and pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

[Strange, logically speaking, if the other party truly possesses demon god-level power, then they should be a genuine demon god. But the problem is, we haven't even seen a trace of them...]

Thinking this, Morax, clad in divine armor, landed steadily beside Lantian, nodded slightly to the three of them, and said solemnly:

"Old friend, and young friend Luo and Maxius, do you have any leads?"

"Morax, have Maxius and the other man explain the situation to you. I'll go and explore the surrounding area first. I have a strange feeling about this."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lantian soared into the sky with lightning speed, transforming into a golden ray of light and temporarily leaving the Tianheng Mountain defense line.

After Luo Xue and Maxius explained, Morax also showed the same furrowed brows as Lan Tian.

"Possessing the power of a high-ranking demon god, yet there's no demon god aura around? Hmm... old friend, have you tried using your Asura Vision?"

After a while, Morax suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Lantian, who had just returned to Tianheng Mountain, and asked.

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian approached Morax and the other two. His slightly luminous amber diamond-shaped eyes came into view, indicating that Lan Tian was already using the Asura Vision.

Unfortunately, when faced with Morax's question, Blue Sky simply shook his head slightly and said helplessly:

"Moracs, I've thoroughly searched the surroundings, but I haven't detected or detected even a trace of a demon god's aura, let alone any demon god... Hmm?"

But just as Lan Tian finished speaking, the entire Tianheng Mountain... no, it was Tianheng Mountain and a large area nearby that began to shake, almost reaching the outer walls of Gui Xiuli's city, and the magnitude was about six or seven!

"Damn it! Asura soldiers, hold on tight!"

Lan Tian sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted loudly. At the same time, he rushed towards the few Return Machines at the edge of Tianheng Mountain and grabbed two Shura Knights who were about to fall off Tianheng Mountain due to loss of balance.

Morax, Maxius, and Luo Xue also rushed to the edge of Tianheng Mountain and saved the Asura Knights who were about to fall off the mountain.

The tremors lasted for several tens of minutes before gradually stopping.

During this process, all the Asura Knights on Tianheng Mountain were urgently evacuated to their caves on the mountain to prevent anyone from falling off the mountain.

As for the Returning Machines, it was because Lantian and Returning Machines had recently added four downward-pointing pillars to the base, which could be deeply inserted into the ground during deployment, allowing the Returning Machines to be firmly fixed in place like a rock. Therefore, the Returning Machines on Tianheng Mountain were not damaged by this tremor, and there was not even the slightest tendency to move.

Inside the cave, the group was rescuing the Asura Knights who had been injured by the tremors.

"To be able to cause such a strong shockwave... the opponent's strength has clearly reached the level of a high-level demon god, or even higher."

Morax stood at the entrance of the cave with his arms crossed, and spoke solemnly.

"Yes, I think so too, and so far, we still don't know the source of this power..."

Behind Morax, Blue Sky, after bandaging the arm of a Shura Guardian who had been injured by a wooden box containing a large amount of energy magic crystals, stood up and responded.

After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no further tremor around them, Lan Tian and Morax were the first to leave the cave and return to the summit of Tianheng Mountain.

"Morax, you seem to have a solution?"

Seeing Morax's thoughtful expression, Lan Tian couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Well, old friend, since we can't pinpoint the source of this anomaly through normal means, why not ask the local land and rocks?"

"Inquire about the land and the rock? Does Your Majesty have some way to do so?"

Behind them, Maxius and Luo Xue, who had just left the cave, couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Oh right, how come I didn't think of that?"

Upon hearing this, Lan Tian suddenly realized something, subconsciously slapped his forehead, and looked as if he had just understood.

Seeing the bewildered looks on Luo Xue and Maxius's faces, Lan Tian chuckled and explained:

"Morax is the Rock Demon God, wielding the authority of rocks that are closely connected to the earth, and can see messages that ordinary people cannot understand from the rocks."

Morax nodded slightly upon hearing this, then calmly said:

"Although we did not sense any aura of the demon god in the surrounding area, the tremors of this land were real. Presumably, the surrounding rocks also recorded a lot of important information about this tremor."

After Morax finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Blue Sky in its rock-like form. Blue Sky immediately understood, chuckled, and said:

“I can do the same in my rock form, but I’m not as powerful as Morax. After all, Morax is the owner of the Rock Authority, while I am the owner of the Asura Authority.”

Upon hearing this, Luo Xue and Marcus exchanged a glance, then simultaneously revealed expressions of sudden realization, excitedly exclaiming in unison:

"In other words, the Emperor and Lord Asura have a way to find out the source of this tremor!"

Upon hearing this, Morax and Blue Sky exchanged a smile and nodded with a light laugh.

“That’s great, but in that case, do Maxius and I need to make any special preparations beforehand?”

Luo Xue suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask, after all, this was the first time she had heard that Pan Shi also had its own memories.

Marcus, standing to the side, nodded in agreement, clearly having the same thought as Luo Xue.

Upon hearing this, Morax and Blue Sky shook their heads simultaneously and said in unison:

"There's no need for such trouble; we can start immediately."

Then, the two closed their eyes simultaneously and began to mobilize the vast amount of rock elemental power around them, causing the entire Tianheng Mountain range to begin to emit a faint golden glow.

A large number of golden elemental runes began to appear around the two of them, and a large amount of information recorded by the rock began to flow into their minds. However, the two of them did not find the culprit that caused such a large-scale ground tremor.

Lan Tian raised an eyebrow slightly at this and transmitted his voice to Morax beside him:

Strangely, according to the records of these rocks, the source of this tremor does not seem to be the noise from the battle between the demons on the surface.

Logically speaking, the only things that could cause such a large-scale ground tremor are either a powerful attack like Lan Tian's roar of the Fiery Dragon a while ago, a fierce battle between demons, or a burst of power slamming into the ground.

As for earthquakes...

In fact, from a purely rational perspective, there are no earthquakes on the Teyvat continent, because there is no plate tectonics on the Teyvat continent, and all ground vibrations are caused by external forces acting on the surface.

I got about the same as you, old friend, why don't you take a look a little longer?

Morax responded telepathically.

A few quarters of an hour later, the two finally gleaned a crucial piece of information from the vast amount of chaotic data:

The source of this tremor was deep underground in Tianheng Mountain.

Morax and Blue Sky simultaneously opened their glowing amber eyes, looked at each other, nodded in unison, closed their eyes again, and continued to probe downwards with their divine senses.

The deeper they went, the more specific information they received.

It wasn't until they reached a depth of over 2,300 meters underground that Blue Sky and Morax discovered a huge cave. Inside the cave was a massive rock elemental dragon, as large as a mountain, surrounded by many rock dragon lizards and baby rock dragon lizards, which were probably the giant rock elemental dragon's retinue!

Judging from the size of this rock elemental dragon and the aura that Blue Sky and Morax sensed, it was a being even more powerful than an ordinary high-level demon god!

This discovery caused Morax and Blue Sky to pause slightly, opening their eyes in astonishment and staring at each other, seemingly confirming their findings.

[Morax, this... could it be...?]

Lan Tian transmitted his voice with some uncertainty.

[My friend, the other party is probably the kind of person we're thinking of.]

Morax transmitted his voice with a furrowed brow.

If we were to describe him using a name from the Teyvat continent, he would be called the Elemental Dragon King!

To confirm whether their findings were correct, Lantian and Morax tacitly extended their divine senses to check again, but ultimately had no choice but to accept reality.

Seeing that Luo Xue and Maxius still looked completely bewildered, Lan Tian and Morax exchanged glances, and Morax spoke first:

"My old friend and I have figured out that the cause of the abnormal tremors in the Tianheng Mountain area comes from more than 2,300 meters underground."

Upon hearing Morax's words, Luo Xue and Marcus's thoughts immediately became clear.

No wonder we didn't sense any aura of a demon god; it turns out there was still several thousand meters of land between them!

But what kind of demon is it that would stay thousands of meters underground?

"Then... Your Majesty, Master, can you confirm the other party's identity?"

Marcius thought for a moment and then asked.

"Um……"

Morax and Blue Sky fell silent for a long while before speaking in unison:

"The opponent is an elemental dragon king!"

"What!? The Elemental Dragon King?"

Upon hearing this, Maxius and Luo Xue immediately opened their mouths wide and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Lord Asura, Your Majesty, are you sure the other party is an existence at the level of an Elemental Dragon King?"

Luo Xue looked at it somewhat uncertainly and asked again to confirm, even though Luo Xue and Maxius already had the answer in their hearts.

"Yes, we are very sure, Luo Xue."

Lan Tian nodded solemnly, walked over and patted Luo Xue's head, then continued to explain very earnestly:

“The other party is indeed an elemental dragon king-level being. Both Morax and I can clearly sense the enormous, almost inexhaustible elemental power emanating from him.”

After saying that, Lan Tian withdrew his hand from Luo Xue's head and turned to look at Morax.

Seeing this, Morax's expression turned serious for once. He crossed his arms and calmly explained:

"From a general rational point of view, what my old friend said is not false. The opponent is indeed a genuine elemental dragon king, and a geo elemental dragon king at that. Even if my old friend or I were to fight alone, we might not be confident of defeating him."

After speaking, Morax turned his gaze to Lan Tian, ​​and Luo Xue and Maxius also looked at Lan Tian with questioning eyes.

Seeing this, Lan Tian lowered his head and pondered for a while before shaking his head helplessly and saying:

"Right now, I'm not confident that I can defeat my opponent one-on-one."

But despite saying that, Lan Tian's inner thoughts were quite different:

Based on my understanding of Liyue from my previous life, that Geo Dragon King should be Rota. It's highly likely that Morax and Rota's first meeting won't escalate into a conflict, since neither of them is particularly warlike...

Morax's words, along with Blue Sky's explanation, forced Luo Xue and Maxius to accept the answer they had in mind.

Everyone fell silent, staring at each other blankly.

After all, even the most powerful among Gui Xiuli's people, the Rock King Emperor and the Asura War God, are not confident that they can defeat the Elemental Dragon King.

The Elemental Dragon King is a powerful being that is far more ancient than Morax and Blue Sky, who are demon gods. Moreover, the Elemental Dragon King has been more powerful than ordinary demon gods since its birth!

Although the Elemental Dragon Kings we see now are not the original Elemental Dragon Kings, one thing is certain: the Elemental Dragon Kings have always been extremely powerful creatures.

It is no exaggeration to say that each of the Elemental Dragon Lords, taken individually, is no less powerful than any of the high-ranking demon gods at their peak on the Teyvat continent!

However, the reasons why the Elemental Dragon King gradually faded from the Teyvat continent are unknown, but there is no doubt that it is related to the Heavenly Principles and their maintainers located on Sky Isle.

Half an hour later, Morax finally broke the silence by speaking first:

"The underground is fraught with danger. My old friend will come with me to go underground in a while, while the rest of you wait on Mount Tianheng."

“Yes, I agree. After all, we still can’t be sure if the other party is hostile to us, so Morax and I need to make contact with them.”

After saying that, Lan Tian lowered his head and thought for a moment, then continued:

"Moreover, I would call him the Mountain-Shaking Dragon, because he not only has a body as huge as a mountain, but is also a Geo Dragon King who wields the power of the Geo element. I think he deserves such a title."
