202: Episode 9 Amethyst Behemoth Chapter 57 Amethyst Past and Three Divine Beasts (Part 1)_1 202: Episode 9 Amethyst Behemoth Chapter 57 Amethyst Past and Three Divine Beasts (Part 1)_1 “What exactly is a heavenly punishment?” Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but ask.
From Zi’s gaze, he could clearly see the extent of the damage the Behemoth Tribe had suffered from that heavenly punishment.
Zi’s mood was obviously a bit agitated, “It was a collision, a collision from the east.
Another continent, no smaller than our original one, drifted from the vast and endless sea, and collided fiercely with our current continent.”
Ye Yinzhu exclaimed, “Are you saying that the current Ryuzakinus Continent was created by the collision of two continents?”
Zi nodded solemnly, “The sky and earth lost their color, the sun and moon lost their light.
That collision brought an unbelievably enormous catastrophe.
With the collision site as the center, countless creatures from various races were obliterated.
Even the most powerful Forbidden Curse couldn’t pare to the explosion produced at the moment of collision.
Under that violent collision, it seemed as though heaven and earth were being torn apart.
A huge fissure in the sky appeared at the core of the two continents’ collision, and countless alien enemies surged out from the fissure, starting a frenzied slaughter of the original inhabitants.”
“Alien life forms?
What are those?”
Zi gave a bitter laugh, “My ancestors referred to them as Dead Spirits.
They seemed to have no life, they didn’t fear death, and they didn’t even know what pain was.
They were not particularly strong individually, but their quantity felt infinite.
Most frightening was the plague they brought about.
No race could resist the erosion of this plague.
Their emergence, like the aura of death, spread outward in circles.
Wherever they reached, not a single blade of grass would grow.
Their unifying characteristic was their green eyes.
The records of these alien creatures are scarce, with the memories left by my ancestors only including their hopelessly green eyes and the green fog of the plague ing from them.
Soon, the area where the plague had spread amounted to a quarter of the total area of both continents bined.
Countless wildlife died under their corrosion.
Then, all races began to panic.
Faced with these irrational Dead Spirits, the previously hostile Behemoth and Dragon Clans quickly formed an alliance.
They joined all the races present on the Ryuzakinus Continent to launch an all-out attack on them.
We couldn’t let the plague spread further, or let the Dead Spirits occupy our homeland.”
From Zi’s narrative, Ye Yinzhu could almost visualize the terrible scene, watching countless alien creatures besieging the continent, while the Behemoth and Dragon Clans led all the races on the continent to launch their last attack.
“An untold multitude of dragons and your people, perished in that battle …”
Zi nodded with some difficulty, “In the midst of the battle, we suddenly discovered that the Dead Spirits didn’t just invade our continent, but also the Eastern Continent that had collided with us.
The Eastern Continent’s assaults on the Dead Spirits were even more intense than ours.
Under the leadership of an enormous golden creature, which had no wings but could fly freely in the sky, countless warriors wore gold armor and launched wave after wave of furious attacks on the Dead Spirits.
Later, my ancestors discovered that those golden creatures capable of flying through the sky without wings were also known as the Dragon Clan, but they belonged to the Eastern Dragon Clan.
The humans from the East referred to themselves as the Descendants of the Dragons.”
The Descendants of Dragons?
For some reason, upon hearing these four words, an unfathomable emotion surged from deep within Ye Yinzhu’s heart.
“From these Eastern humans, we learned that humans can also fight in this way.
They had powerful Douqi and an impressive array of skills.
They were countless times stronger than the humans on our side, who didn’t really have any bat capabilities.
The bination of Eastern Dragons and Eastern humans actually outperformed our side by a wide margin.
While we were barely holding our own against the enemy, they had already used desperate tactics to push back the Dead Spirits.
They held off the vast majority of the enemies, and with their fearless courage, they fought tooth and nail with the Dead Spirits.
The number of their casualties far exceeded ours.
The Eastern Dragons are the real dragons.
pared to our species that are like flying lizards, they were stronger by a considerable margin.
They were indeed the true main force in this war of annihilation.”
“Does that Eastern Continent have a name?
And the Eastern humans, do they have any distinctive features?” Ye Yinzhu subconsciously voiced the doubts in his mind.
Zi gazed deeply at him, saying, “That continent is called the Eastern Dragon Continent by its native inhabitants and there’s just one country there, known as the Eastern Dragon Empire.”
“What?
What did you say?
The Eastern Dragon Empire.” Ye Yinzhu’s eyes flickered intensely.
The Eastern Dragon Empire, what connection could it have with his own Eight Eastern Dragon Sects?
Zi nodded, saying, “You’re correct in your thinking.
If I’m not mistaken, your Eight Eastern Dragon Sects are likely descendants of the Eastern Dragon Empire.
The original inhabitants of the Eastern Dragon Empire are distinguished by their uniformly black hair and black eyes.
However, while the hair color of humans varied greatly on our original continent, there were none with black hair and black eyes.
It could be said that everyone on the current continent with black hair and black eyes, are quite possibly remnants of the Eastern Dragon Empire.”
Ye Yinzhu suddenly stepped forward, gripping Zi’s shoulder forcefully.
“What happened next?
What was the oute of that destructive war?
Given that the Eastern Dragon Empire could still play such a critical role in such a war, why then do they…
Zi said, “Just when we were about to last, thanks to the joint efforts of the Behemoth, Dragon Clan, and the Eastern Dragon Empire, the Dead Spirits were finally pushed back to the Sealed Rift in the heavens.
However, they kept emerging relentlessly, as if they were inexhaustible, which led to numerous casualties daily.
Most races suffered heavy losses with our main bat groups dwindling to a very few.
Moreover, most of the survivors were infected with the plague.
If we continued like this, unable to hold them off from rushing out of the rift, then that would have led to the continent being taken over by them, leaving no chance of counterattacking.”
Zi’s eyes sparkled with reverence, he solemnly said, “My ancestors’ memories of that time are quite vivid.
At the most critical juncture, the final forty-seven Gold Giant Dragons from the Eastern Dragon Empire soared into the sky, using all their strength and brilliance and moved the rift in the heavens to the ground.
They used their massive bodies to act as a seal to fill the gap.
They sacrificed their lives to finally end the disastrous war.
At that time, there were fewer than one hundred thousand warriors left in the Eastern Dragon Empire.
Those were the last remnants of a continent!
Therefore, despite the Behemoth Tribe’s deep disdain for the Dragon Clan, we only have the deepest respect for the Eastern Giant Dragons.
It was they who saved the continent, they who saved all of our tribes.”
The words Eastern Giant Dragons were etched deeply in Ye Yinzhu’s mind.
As a descendant of Dragons, was he one of their ancestors?
After saying this, Zi’s tone became abruptly angered, “Although Destruction War had ended, the conflicts on the Ryuzakinus Continent were far from over.
From the moment the forty-seven Eastern Giant Dragon warriors sealed the rift in the heavens, our continent entered a chaotic era lasting ten thousand years.
This chaos ignited with the ambush of the Giant Divine Dragon, Nox.
Seeing no threats from external forces, he suddenly launched an unanticipated sneak attack at my predecessor, the then Amethyst Behemoth King.
At that time, almost every tribe was exhausted.
Who would have thought one’s ally would suddenly attack at this victorious moment?
Caught off guard, my predecessor was blasted into ashes with Nox’s full strength.
Yet, my predecessor’s dying counterstrike grievously injured him.
Conflicts ignited once more amongst those already fatigued for so long.
With this, the numbers of remaining Behemoth and Dragon Clan members dwindled sharply.
Once this tumultuous war ended, who knows how many people vanished.
The Wild Northernmost Wilderness turned into an icy wasteland, and the Dragon Clan returned to the West.
An era of chaos had truly begun.
Because of this, the Amethyst Clan thanked you for thoroughly annihilating Nox.”
Ye Yinzhu immediately asked, “What about the people of the Eastern Dragon Empire?
What happened to them?”
Zi sighed deeply, “The Destruction War was a huge blow to the Eastern Dragon Empire, with almost ten thousand individuals being infected by the plague.
For a long time, their population only decreased.
They didn’t have the strength to rehabilitate their destroyed homeland.
And yet, during this time, we, the western humans, began to rise amidst the chaos.
Whether they were influenced by the people of the Eastern Dragon Empire or they had swallowed their anger for many years, their population increased exponentially within a short period of a few thousand years.
It should be noted that both we, the Behemoth, and the Dragon Tribe have very low reproductive capabilities, and even Sub-Dragons were no exception; our reproduction rates were substantially lower pared to the humans.
During the Destruction War, the western humans weren’t even qualified to be cannon fodder, so they had been hiding in the rear and hadn’t suffered much damage.
After a thousand years of hard work, they developed rapidly and established the Western Dragon Empire.
As the beastmen were far away in the cold Wild Northernmost Wilderness, we didn’t pose any threat to them, so they hadn’t set foot in our territory.
However, they formed an alliance with the Dragon Clan and started to invade the entire continent.
And their target was not only the original Western Continent, but also the merged Eastern Dragon Continent due to the collision.
At that time, the Eastern Dragon Empire had just started to recover, with a population nearly around ten million.
The war started again, but this time, it was a war among humans.
The pitiful Eastern Dragon Empire lost the protection of the Guardian Divine Dragon.
Despite being poor at magic, they fought with their brilliant Douqi.
Even though they were powerful, they were at a numerical disadvantage and their opponents were supported by the Western Dragon Tribe.
After only a hundred years of resistance, the Eastern Dragon Empire fell.”
