45. Splendid Valley

The Supreme Celestials are all wilderness demigods who have fused the power of the elements.

The green dragon fuses the water element, giving it additional healing powers; The crested crane fuses the fire element, giving its power a purifying effect; The White Tiger fuses the wind element, giving its attacks the power of wind and thunder that is terrifying to the power of heaven and earth; And Xuan Niu, this Tianzun with the will to protect has fused the earth element, making it already strong in defense, and with the blessing of the earth element, it has almost reached the realm of invincibility in defense.

In other words, the Xuan Niu is the supreme celestial god, and even the most resistant top-level meat shield of all the wilderness demigods, and its flesh is so bad that even the almost omnipotent great lord feels irritated...

Under the manic attack of the Death Demon Warrior, it took the Great Lord a full 15 minutes, under the endless bombardment, to knock open the layer of fur that was thicker than the turtle shell, and then changed to the now very docile soul sword Apocalypse, and cut off a large piece of soul on the soul body of the weakened Xuan Niu as a reward for this battle.

Dreadshead is really a cunning little bastard, it may well have planned everything when it escaped the seal, and it spent most of its strength to infect the Bull, but it turned out to be the right decision.

Only a meat shield-type Celestial Venerable like Xuan Niu, who is extremely good at grappling, can support him in front of the Lord of the Dead Realm for so long, so that the Fear Demon has enough time to complete his "work".

"Heart of Darkness has been revived! My mission has come to an end... It's coming back! ”

"It's coming back!"

The combat power of the Dreadevil body is not worth mentioning compared to Tyrion, after solving the most difficult soap, the Dreadevil barely made an effective counterattack, and was sealed into the "Demon Vial" by Tyrion with brutal methods, however, the Dreadsome is like a crazy dedicated cultist, shouting something that the Great Lord does not care about.

And just after the Evil of Fear was sealed, the Candle Dragon, who was fighting against Snow Fury, and the guardian of Yongchun Terrace, the Water Spirit Lei Shi, also returned to normal due to the calming of the evil energy, but everyone, including Snow Fury and the sober Soap, could not show a calm expression in the face of the Ten Thousand Years Altar that was completely destroyed by the Evil of Fear.

"Woo woo, Raysch's job! It's over..."

Seeing the altar that had been completely destroyed by the evil energy, and the staff of the divine dragon mist, which had lost its mysterious power, the ancient water spirit Lei Shi who had returned to normal, cried out like a child.

"I'm going to be scolded by Shao Hao now, woo woo."

Its voice is very good, and it sounds like a simple little girl, the appearance of this water spirit is also completely different from the general water element, to be precise, the water spirit and the water element, are already two completely different elemental creatures.

Resh's cry made Tyrion turn his head, and the Great Lord looked curiously at this powerful ancient water spirit, this thing should be a special elemental creature unique to Pandaria, its appearance is very anthropomorphic, with arms and a slender body, but like the water elemental, it has no legs, instead it is replaced by a blue water wave that swayes on the ground.

And Lei Shi's head is also very strange, as if he is wearing a playful mask, covered with all kinds of dexterous patterns, and a pair of big blue eyes.

Reesch can describe her mood so clearly, and how fluent she speaks, which means that Reshi is likely to be one of the first water spirits born in Pandaria hundreds of thousands of years ago...

"Shaohao?"

When Tyrion heard this name, he glanced at the spirits behind him with some surprise, he stretched out his hand, picked up the ancient staff that fell to the ground, and waved it in the air, the green jade bell dotted at the top of the staff swayed, making a light sound, and the pandaren prayer flag wrapped around the top of the staff shook in the air, and a cold mist also shrouded Tyrion's body, this thing can perfectly transmit the power of the Great Lord's death realm and turn it into the form of mist, which is really a strange thing.

"The last emperor really didn't die, did he?"

The Great Lord looked left and right, he closed his eyes, and in the state of spiritual vision, he soon noticed that above the ruins of the Ten Thousand Year Altar, which had been completely destroyed by the Evil of Fear, there was a weak spirit suspended there, and he seemed to be at a loss.

"I see you!"

Under the gaze of the spirits, Tyrion stretched out his fingers and poured the pure power of death into the weakened spirit that was about to disappear, and a moment later, a pandaren in a spirit state appeared in front of the spirits.

He was not much different from other panda people, but his face was majestic, and although the black and white robe worn by the spirit body was simple in appearance, the four spirit carvings in it proved his noble status.

"Shaohao! My friend..."

Snow Fury's eyes widened the moment it saw the spirit.

The rumors from the outside world are true! The soul of the last emperor Shao Hao has been living in the mist of Yongchun Terrace for 10,000 years...

"Ah, it's Snow Fury Heavenly Venerable."

Shao Hao, who was truly transformed into a spirit body, still looked a little dazed, he looked left and right at the surrounding environment, and then at his dark blue illusory body, and finally, the last emperor who sacrificed himself for Pandaria raised his head and turned his gaze to the spirits in front of him, he waved his hand to them with a smile as if he did ten thousand years ago:

"And the soap Tianzun, and the old friend Candle Dragon, oh, and the lovely little Lei Shi, when I am sleeping, I sometimes hear you sing for me, and the song is so beautiful... It's a pity I can't respond to you, the Staff of the Mist protects my remnant, but it also binds my will, only then will I not wither in time... By the way, who is this powerful friend? ”

Shao Hao spun in circles in the air, tilting his head and looking at Tyrion's slightly emaciated face and his long, sharp ears:

"You're an elf? Are you Queen Azhara's people? ”

"I'm not."

Tyrion replied mildly:

"It's been too long, last emperor, it may take you a while to embrace new knowledge and a new era, but anyway, I'd love to see the Panda people welcome back their emperor after 10,000 years... Truth be told, with the situation they are facing right now, they do need a wise leader. ”

"You're back just in time!"

"So... How many years have passed now? ”

Shao Hao's gaze became serious, he looked back at Xue Fu, and he asked:

"I was just awakened from that silence, I felt the breath of fear, could it be that the demon has broken the seal again? And also... Where's my staff? I remember the Staff of the Mist was placed in..."

As he spoke, Shao Hao saw the Staff of Mist held in Tyrion's hand, and the last emperor's eyes widened:

"That's mine..."

"No!"

The Great Lord shook his head stubbornly, he touched the quaint green jade bell at the top of the Staff of Mist with great affection, and the fluttering prayer flag fluttering in the wind, he said to Shao Hao seriously:

"This is mine! In return for saving you, I feel like it makes sense that you're gifting it to me... You're right? ”

The big lord's gaze swept over the snow rage, soap, candle dragon and the timid little Lei Shi who was hiding behind Shao Hao, no one objected... Especially when he saw with his own eyes how the Great Lord beat the soap, no one expressed dissatisfaction, not even a squeak.

"Uh..."

The last emperor Shao Hao was really a person who did great things, and after a short hesitation, he noticed several strange bottles tied to the belt by the great lord, as well as the demon body sealed in the bottle, at this moment, Shao Hao understood the reason why Tyrion appeared here, so he smiled heartily:

"Alright, well, tasteful new friend, the Staff of the Dragon Mist is only a symbol of the Emperor and a medium of rituals, I don't usually use this staff to fight, and the hospitable Panda People should also prepare a reward for helping us deal with the demonic threat thoroughly, I think the Staff of the Dragon is a good gift."

Speaking of this, the last emperor of the panda people remembered something again, he looked back at Xue Fu, and he asked softly:

"Oh, by the way, I remember handing over my weapon, the Staff of Fortune, to my friend Monkey King for safekeeping before the ceremony, and that brave but quiet monkey must have caused you a lot of trouble over the years... Where is he now? ”

This question silenced Xue Fu, and after a few seconds, the Mighty Heavenly Venerable whispered:

"Shao Hao, my friend, just 17 years after you turned into the mist, the Monkey King who was in a bad mood went out on a trip, and then he never appeared again... He, like you, disappeared into history after making a great contribution to Pandaria, and now... Now it's been the time when the fog is sealed, and the whole thing... 10,000 years. ”

This answer made the soft smile on Shao Hao's face stiffen, as a spirit body, he also felt bitter at this moment, and the emotions of the spirits also became a little sad because of this, but with his finger lightly tapped the great lord of the green jade bell at the top of the staff of mist in his hand, a glimmer of light flashed in his ice blue eyes.

If he's not mistaken...

The Monkey King, not dead, that weird demigod... It's just a stupid mistake that ended up stuck somewhere.

But the Great Lord didn't say this fact, he didn't want to show his "omniscient and omnipotent" side in front of this group of pandamen and demigods, that was not what he wanted to see.

And after a few minutes of silence, Shao Hao let out a long sigh, the last emperor looked at the surrounding palaces that had been destroyed in the battle with some regret, he stroked the head of the little water spirit Lei Shi, and said softly:

"Ah, time flies like a white horse, and when I fall into my deep sleep, I know that I will go through something strange, and yet, when I wake up, the sorrow comes so quickly... But we don't have time to grieve, friends. ”

Shao Hao's expression became more and more serious, and he said to the spirits in front of him:

"Fear awakens me, and that may be what it's for... Back then, under the guidance of the Wisdom Heavenly Venerable, I dispelled the six negative emotions in my body, and then, the last of the most terrible negative emotions kept bothering me, and I couldn't discover it. ”

"Pride... It was the greatest original sin hidden in my heart, and at the moment when the Misty Ritual was completed, I enjoyed the glory of the Savior, and the pride in my heart reached its peak in that moment, and then summoned the most terrible pride evil... Luckily, I wasn't wearing the magical mask that the Monkey King had cut himself, so the demon's body wasn't triggered. ”

Shao Hao personally told the unknown history of 10,000 years ago, which made Tianzun Xue Fu and Dang Soap's expressions very serious, and they could have a hunch that this story of Shao Hao was likely to reveal the secret of 10,000 years ago.

"But I sensed the appearance of the Pride Evil, so I could only choose to destroy my own will and body so that I would not become its carrier, and after I incarnated in the Mist, I could still feel that the Pride Evil was aroused through me, but because it lacked a carrier, it remained in the dark heart that gave birth to it and other demons!"

A hint of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the last emperor:

"That's the purpose of the Fear of Fear, it awakens me, it also awakens the Pride that I have caused, and indirectly awakens the sleeping heart of darkness!"

"You should know that the Mantis Demon reveres a mysterious Ancient Venerable, whom they call 'Juggernaut'! We always thought it was the virtual evil god of the mantis demon, but now it seems that it is not! The Master, the heart, the heart of darkness buried beneath the land of Pandaria, is the Lord of the Mantis! The demon is born from it! ”

"We must find it before the mantis demon! Otherwise, the Lord of Terror will be resurrected on this land! ”

Shao Hao's words silenced all the spirits, Xue Fu raised his head, looked at the last emperor, and asked in a deep voice:

"So Shao Hao, where is the heart of darkness?"

Shao Hao looked to the southwest at this moment, he pointed there, and he said:

"Right in the heart of Pandaria, the sacred place that gave birth to all the living beings of this continent... It's here, Fairview Valley! ”

"Ahh

The always steady White Tiger let out an exclamation at this moment, and a humanized expression of joy flashed on its big furry face:

"Fortunately, we came to you first, just a few days ago, the mantis demon once again started the attack of a hundred years of reincarnation, and this time they unsealed the demon, causing the dragon's spine to fall completely, we had already planned to open the Splendid Valley for the refugees to take refuge... It's lucky to be able to open the valley without us knowing that the Heart of Darkness exists... I'm afraid..."

"Now it seems that we can't easily open the Splendid Valley, especially when the mantis demon army is overwhelmed..."

"No!"

Tyrion, who had not spoken, pressed the staff of mist against the ground in his hand, and with the slight sound of the jade bell, he said:

"You've got to open it! The mantis demon is not a problem..."

"You have to open it as fast as you can, as I said, and that's what I'm here for..."
