The Legend of Min Hong

Chapter 257: The Great War [2]

When the battle got to a heated extent, and that venerable, honourable young man was still in a stalemate with the demon, he self-detonated and all the primus energy within his Dao tree diffused into the surroundings"

"Due to it being in a very close proximity, the Primus Dao simply sealed the demon's Dao for a temporary period of time whilst the rest of it went around the battlefield and eventually suppressed the Dao strength of over twenty percent of all the demons that were beneath the General level" Old Man Li narrated

"Furthermore, then all the First Bloodline Ancestors of our Plane were all in the Autarch Stage and all in the Essence Realm, minus the 'great creator' himself, we had about a hundred experts on this level of power"

"Then we also had over a thousand God Realm experts and ten thousand Demi-god experts, but despite all that, we were still at a strong disadvantage in the battle with these demons"

"Imagine us being supported by the prayer of all creations, and even having our Daos boosted because these Dao True Spirits were the ones who warned us about the intruders first, then the Dao True Spirits of our planes even suppressed their own Daos by at least 30 percent, and despite all these we were still at a very sore disadvantage"

"If not for the support of the True Spirits which tampered with both parties Daos, that Yao general would most definitely have tragically defeated the first master of the 'Eye of Infinite Dao' in a matter of minutes, because not only were they stronger on an individual level, they also outnumbered us of about ten to one"

Old Man Li paused a bit to catch his breath there and the trio listening to this history could sense deep fear radiating from the old man

"I fought with only three generals and my physical body was even destroyed"

"I had to self detonate at a very close proximity to these generals, and all I could achieve with that was just to gravely injure one"

"Furthermore, I was very lucky enough to escape with my soul, and that was just because these demons never understood a thing about our cultivation world, and so they thought I would have died completely after self detonating"

"This battle raged on for years, and we kept on suffering immense casualties, and it was then the 'great creator' set his plans into motion

"Out of his essence blood and his Peak Essence level Daos, he created a palm sized orb and gave it to the First Bloodline Ancestor of the Dragon Clan to go and move all the mortals of our plane into it" 

"A palm sized orb that could actually house all mortals?" Min Hong asked in wonder

"Yeah, and as a matter of fact, you are so close to that orb than you can ever imagine, but that is something you will come to know about later on"

"Then the First Bloodline Ancestor of the Elven Clan was an archer, and he was so great that even the great Huoyi, himself, was an ordinary disciple to him"

"What!?"

This time it was Shen Bing that couldn't believe what she was hearing, because even from her own Ancient Bing Dynasty, Huoyi himself was a religion in a part of it

They had a strand of his eye lash on an altar within the innermost section of their clan which all the top archers of their clan would meditate in the same room with, and absorb the aura radiating from it so as to sharpen their eye sight and mental strength

But now, this old man was telling them that even someone of his level was just an ordinary disciple? Then who was or were the core disciples of the Elven Ancestor?

"Yes The First Bloodline Elven Ancestor was so strong that he single-handedly ensured that, despite being outnumbered by at least ten to one, no one amongst us had to battle more than three demons at once"

"He could create a thousand bows with five arrows in each just by using his mind and Qi"

"I guess when ones archery surpasses the godlike level, one wouldn't even need a bow anymore"

"So, he was able to push back majority of the demons back by firing several arrows infused with all his Essence Level Daos, and as a result, mankind and every other species were not overwhelmed with the sheer power and numbers of these demons"

"Thus, when the First Bloodline Ancestor of the Dragon Clan left the battlefield, it was still this same Elven Ancestor that took over his opponents without losing any momentum"

"But as wonderful as it sounded, this was also where the tipping point of the battle was decided"

"Knowing what the 'great creator' just did, the Yao Overlord decided to get back at him for it...

"Thus, he waited till everyone was engrossed in the battle and then, he made the fastest attack that even the 'great creator' himself had never seen before..."

"Two beams of light shot out of his eyes, and before the 'great creator' could even blink, these two beams of light shot straight into the head of the First Bloodline Elven Ancestor..."

"Though we didn't know what was truly happening or how it happened, all we could see and sense was the Elven Ancestor falling to his knees whilst holding his head and crying his lungs out in agony."

"It was the most demoralizing thing that could ever happen to us at that moment, and it really slammed a massive dent into our battle confidence and morale"

"The rest of the demons being free and able to re-join the battle then swarmed over us, and then a one-sided slaughter began"

"We were now conceding double casualties per minute compared to the beginning of the battle, and it was at the moment when we thought nothing could get any worse, that things got jinxed"

"Apart from experts, friends and families dying in front of us all like moths in a flame, the Elven Ancestor who we all thought was going to die suddenly recovered, but this time, he recovered as our enemy instead"

"What if it was me, I couldn't have been suffering so much pain and no one would even come to check up on what is going wrong with me" Min Hong responded furiously

"You're right, and we realized that very late"

"Aside from the fact that every single one of us are back to facing ten demons each and we couldn't even afford to look over to our friends who were dying, because that would instantly result in our own death, we really didn't check up on the Elven Ancestor"

"But that was not the reason why he turned against us"

"Eeh!?"

"Unh!?"

"Hmm!?" Both Shen Bing, Min Hong and Little Wu were all stunned by Old Man Li's response

"Then what could have caused him to turn against his own people!?"

"Or was it his plans from the beginning!?" Min Hong asked

"Never In fact, the Elven Ancestor was one of the top three most trusted entity to the great creator, with the Dragon Ancestor being the second"

"But you see, as much as these demons knew nothing about our powers, it was likewise for us too, and that was the deciding factor or simply the hot knife through the butter which was 'the great war'"
