Genshin Impact: Demon God of Shura

"Morax! Here!"

Blue Sky, who had already arrived at the ancient tea plantation slope, waved and shouted to Morax, who had just arrived in the air, after switching to rapids mode.

"Old friend, is this the hiding place of the Dream Demon God?"

Morax landed beside Lantian and together they looked toward the direction of Lingmeng Mountain.

"Yes, that's right. I confirmed the location using the ley lines; this is definitely the place."

As he spoke, Lan Tian raised his right hand and pointed to the mountainside of Lingmeng Mountain, where two massive, tightly closed stone gates were clearly visible. He then said:

"The Dream Demon is currently hiding in that cave entrance with two tightly closed stone doors. In addition... there are the five Yaksha generals that Luo Xue and the other immortal Yakshas mentioned..."

As he spoke, Lan Tian clenched his right hand, which he had been pointing at, into a fist and said coldly:

"The celestial demons should be freed!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous aura suddenly erupted from Lan Tian's body.

The end of the light blue headscarf that hung naturally behind Lan Tian's head, along with the light blue split cloak behind him, and Morax's divine robes, were all lifted up instantly, making a rustling sound in the air before falling back down naturally.

"Old friend..."

Morax gently patted Lan Tian on the shoulder, seemingly reminding him not to let his anger affect him.

"I'm fine, Morax."

Lan Tian let out a breath, turned his head and shook his head at Morax beside him.

"But before that, we must first free the immortal yakshas who are controlled by the Dream Demon God."

Lan Tian pointed to an open space in front of the stone gate, where there were many yakshas with black smoke rising from their bodies, tattered clothes, and very stiff movements.

“That’s true, but if you make a move, our arrival will be exposed to the Dream Demon God, since the entire Shenyu Valley is the Dream Demon God’s territory.”

Morax nodded in agreement, then, as if remembering something, reminded Blue Sky, who had just switched to Mansen form.

"It doesn't matter. I'm actually hoping to cause him some more trouble, Morax. I don't believe that after losing so many Dream Demons containing some of their original power, he can still be as lively and energetic as if nothing happened."

Lan Tian estimated the distance with his eyes while saying dismissively.

"Old friend..."

Morax seemed about to say something more, but Blue Sky, as if by telepathy, guessed what Morax was thinking, smiled faintly, raised his dark green heavy warbow—Dawnbreaker—and voiced Morax's concerns:

"Although I am the God of Asura who wields the power of slaughter and destruction, I will not use this power to indiscriminately kill the innocent, Morax, never will!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Tian's expression hardened, and he shot three emerald green arrows into the air.

As the three arrows streaked across the sky and reached the heads of the yakshas, ​​they exploded in three different locations in the air, releasing a large amount of vital grass elemental energy that formed wisps of emerald green smoke that enveloped all the yakshas.

Before the controlled yakshas could react, a large number of emerald green vines burst from the ground and directly entangled them.

Before the yakshas could react, they were bound together by vines and turned into green rice dumplings, unable to make a sound because their mouths were also gagged with vines.

However, although the whole process was uneventful, the powerful grass elemental force was still noticed by the Dream Demon God, who had just recovered.

[Oh no! It's Rhodesius, the God of Asura! He's coming!]

The Dream Demon God, deep within the cave, immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly ordered five Yaksha generals to lead the remaining less than two hundred Yakshas to guard the cave entrance.

Meanwhile, the Dream Demon God himself took the opportunity to begin setting up the most powerful dream space he could currently unleash.

Although the Dream Demon God was wary of the powerful strength of Blue Sky and Morax, he never felt that he was powerless to fight back.

Because the Dream Demon God's Dream Authority is not a physical attack like cold weapons or magical artifacts, but a mental attack!

In other words, once struck by the power of the Dream Demon, a dream will be created in the victim's mind.

Once trapped in a dream and unable to break free on their own or with the help of others, the victim's consciousness will remain trapped within the dream, while their unconscious body will be controlled by the Dream Demon, becoming a slave or tool under the Dream Demon's control.

Meanwhile, outside the stone gate.

"Morac, you go and meet that Dream Demon God first. I'll help these Yakshas cleanse themselves of the power of the Dream Authority!"

As Lan Tian raised his hand to purify the bound Yakshas, ​​he pointed to the tightly closed, massive stone door and turned to Morax, speaking into it.

Morax nodded slightly in agreement.

"I will try my best to subdue those Yaksha or humans who are under control."

With that, Morax, holding the Rainbow Spear in his right hand, kicked open a huge, tightly closed stone door and began to fight the children of the Dream God inside.

"Morax! This is not a place for you!"

Just as Morax raised his spear again and knocked out a group of controlled Dream Demon citizens, the voice of the Dream Demon resounded throughout the entire cave.

As soon as the Dream Demon's mythical voice faded, the humans in front of Morax who hadn't yet been knocked unconscious began to emit black smoke from their eyes and started attacking Morax even more violently.

It's clear that the Dream Demon is fully unleashing the power within these slaves, making them even more fearless and ferocious!

Before long, Yakshas began to wield various weapons and join the battle against Morax.

But Morax simply remained calm, spreading his hands and saying steadily:

"As solid as a rock".

As the Jade Shield appeared, the surrounding Yaksha clan and people were immediately thrown back by the shockwave generated when the Jade Shield was summoned, colliding haphazardly with their companions behind them.

Some of the Yakshas even lost their weapons and dropped them to the ground.

Before these people could get up and continue their attack, Morax noticed something first and quickly stepped aside, revealing Blue Sky in his rock armor behind him.

"Iwa-battered!"

Boom!

Blue Sky, now in its rock form, condensed a small amount of rock elemental power on its heavy rock shield and slammed it hard into the open space that Morax had just cleared. A golden light immediately spread out, blasting away the crowd that had gathered around again.

However, unlike the shockwave emitted when Morax summoned the Jade Shield, Blue Sky's attack directly stunned most people.

A few minutes later.

After subduing and settling the surrounding yakshas and humans, Blue Sky and Morax simultaneously heard the somewhat angry voice of the Dream Demon God:

"Damn it! Don't push your luck! This is my territory! All of you! Get him!"

As soon as the Dream Demon God's voice fell, Blue Sky and Morax sensed something at the same time and looked up into the depths of the cave.

Then, the seven missing immortals awkwardly used their magic and began to rapidly attack the location where the two were.

Behind these seven immortals were the five ragged Yaksha generals and the rest of the Yakshas, ​​as well as... five demon gods who had forcefully broken through the rock wall in front of them and were charging towards the two menacingly, their strength barely reaching the lower or middle level.

Clearly, these were demons whose strength was far inferior to that of the Dream Demon God. After being defeated in battle against the Dream Demon God, they were controlled by the Dream Demon God's dreams and became one of his slaves.

The five demon gods were covered in dense black patterns, and under the power of the Dream Demon God, those patterns shone brightly, giving these demon gods a significant boost in power.

"Tsk, it's really troublesome..."

Lan Tian subconsciously activated his Asura Vision to take a look, then clicked his tongue and muttered a complaint.

Lan Tian said this not because he thought these demon gods were troublesome, but because he felt that if he killed these demon gods directly here, the demon god power and residue released when the demon gods fell would be enough to kill everyone except Lan Tian and Morax in a short time!

Besides, battles at the level of demon gods are not something these people can participate in casually, because the aftershocks of the battle alone can easily injure them, and even immortals would be in serious trouble!

"Morax! It seems we need to get rid of these demons first! Otherwise, the others won't survive!"

As he spoke, Lan Tian brandished his rock spear, using the shaft to send four immortals who were charging at him and two Yaksha generals flying against the rock wall, instantly raising clouds of dust!

"That's certainly how it will be, my old friend!"

Morax nodded solemnly, and after sending the remaining three immortals and three yaksha generals flying against the rock wall, he spoke directly to the five demons who had fought against him and Lantian:

"The heavens are moving!"

A giant celestial star appeared from the top of the cave and crashed down directly towards the five demon gods.

Boom!

The entire Lingmeng Mountain trembled as a result. After the dust settled, the five stone statues of demon gods crashed heavily onto the floor, with the stone statues of yakshas still in various menacing poses behind them.

Seeing this, Lan Tian seized the opportunity and once again concentrated a small amount of Geo elemental power onto the Dark Rock Shield in his left hand:

"Tremble!"

Boom!

After the rock-breaking attack from the blue sky, the yakshas who had been petrified by the celestial star were instantly freed from their petrification state, flew backward, crashed heavily to the ground, and lost consciousness!

"Morax, charge!"

Lan Tian roared and raised the Xuan Yan Heavy Shield in his left hand, directly lifting up two of the petrified demon gods. He also used the rock spear in his hand to pierce through the body of one of the demon gods. He turned around and charged towards the completely open stone door behind him, directly carrying the three of them out of the cave!

Meanwhile, Morax took the opportunity to pierce the body of one of the demon gods with his Rainbow Spear, and with his other hand, he grabbed the last demon god by the neck and carried the two away from the cave!

[P.S.: Here's an explanation of why the Yaksha clan is affectionately called the Celestial Yakshas instead of just Yakshas. It's because, over time, more and more Yakshas—the Asura Knights mentioned earlier—began to go to the Minlin area for training under the guidance of the Asura God. Over time, this affectionate name came about.]
