CHAPTER 1100: CHAPTER 863: ONE GOD’S PATROL

Above an ancient Da Ze, there stood a hundred-foot-tall giant, cloaked in thunder and lightning, stepping on Xiangyun, radiating infinite Divine Power, each strike seemingly capable of piercing through heaven and earth.

At this moment, within Da Ze, a six-hundred-foot-long mutant beast, resembling a True Dragon, roared and thrashed excitedly in the water, trying to battle this Thunder God, but with just one strike, it was defeated, its Xuanhuang-colored blood nearly soaking the entire lake.

Terrified, it wanted to escape, but the deity clearly gave it no chance.

Lightning struck, shattering the scale armor on its body, a punch landed, and the terrifying force nearly shattered its body, all in just a brief moment of battle.

This mutant beast was already powerless, lying in the water, emitting a helpless wail.

"An eighty Mountain Lord level mutant beast is indeed rare; this should be a Chi Dragon, possessing a higher bloodline than a Jiao Long, a type of Dragon Seed."

Li Yi stood atop the Da Ze, reaching out to grasp the Chi Dragon’s head. Amidst the intertwining lightning, divine power flowed, capturing this heavily wounded Chi Dragon.

He then looked at the nearby tribe, the Fengshui Tribe, whose Clan Leader had once come to Red Gold Mountain seeking help, hoping he could help them slay this evil dragon.

With such an eighty Mountain Lord level Chi Dragon entrenched in the Da Ze, the tribe’s life was indeed difficult, and ordinary warriors were unable to handle it.

Li Yi had no choice but to personally make this journey.

Upon seeing the evil dragon defeated by the One God, the Clan Leader, High Priest, and warriors of the Fengshui Tribe cheered and prostrated in the direction of the Divine, grateful for this kindness.

Unfortunately, this world does not give birth to Incense Fire Belief Power; otherwise, as a One God, Li Yi would undoubtedly be able to collect much Power of Incense.

Li Yi withdrew his gaze and then carried the six-hundred-foot-long Chi Dragon, stepping on Xiangyun, striding away.

He still needed to head to other places.

Although his Red Gold Country only charted a thousand miles, not intending to be vast, the resources in the Barbaric World were too abundant, birthing many powerful mutant beasts; naturally, as a One God, he needed to act and clear them to avoid future dangers to others.

"Chi Dragon, are you willing to submit and serve me, to fight for me in the future? If you are willing, I can spare your life and heal your injuries. If you are not, then today you will die by my hand."

Li Yi now attempted to subdue the Chi Dragon.

Destroying it is a wasteful approach; previously, he regretted ending the Suan Ni he encountered on Earth, let alone an eighty Mountain Lord level Chi Dragon.

However, these mythical creatures are difficult to subdue; Li Yi was simply trying his luck.

The Chi Dragon’s light blue vertical pupils stared at Li Yi. As a top predator, even when severely wounded, it exuded a terrifying aura, but this aura was negligible before the One God.

The silver lightning between heaven and earth was enough to break the pride of this Mountain Lord level mutant beast.

Moreover, in terms of bloodline, the Thunder God’s bloodline surpassed that of the Dragon Seed Chi Dragon.

Under comprehensive suppression, the Chi Dragon was unable to resist, the heavily wounded body still bleeding, and if it didn’t respond, its life would soon end.

"You don’t have much time to think. By the time I cross those mountains ahead, you must make your decision." Li Yi’s expression was indifferent, giving it little time to ponder.

He knew the Chi Dragon could understand his words; it once demanded tribute from the Fengshui Tribe when it had yet to mature. But as its power grew, it gradually became a regional overlord, no longer satisfied with a single tribe’s offerings, even preying on strong warriors.

The Fengshui Tribe thus declined over time.

But that’s the nature of the Barbaric World, mutant beasts eating people, warriors hunting mutant beasts for meat, weaker tribes being annexed, only the strong surviving.

Li Yi stepped on Xiangyun upon an ancient mountain range, remembering that crossing this range would lead to a prairie where a powerful mutant beast also resided, causing great losses to nearby tribes.

At this moment, the Chi Dragon made its decision, retracting its ferocity, bowing its head, and emitting a low sound, signaling submission.

"Very well, remember your submission today. If you dare betray me in the future, I will personally end your life."

After warning, Li Yi casually tossed the Chi Dragon onto the nearby Xiangyun, then took out several fist-sized Elixirs from the Red Gold Five Elements Bracelet and stuffed them into its mouth.

These Elixirs were crafted by cultivation experts on Red Gold Mountain recently. Although the craftsmanship was somewhat rough, the abundance of Treasure Medicine in this world ensured that even coarsely crafted Elixirs could unleash astonishing efficacy.

After the Chi Dragon ingested several Elixirs, the bleeding immediately stopped, and its injuries healed visibly.

From a near-death state, it regained some vitality, at least able to support itself and roam in the clouds.

Seeing this, Li Yi ignored it further and instead arrived on a vast prairie, spreading his Primordial Spirit power to perceive the location of the formidable mutant beast in the area.

For a beast to be worth his personal attention as a One God, its power must be at least above that of fifty Mountain Lords.

Swiftly.

He sensed the location of a powerful aura.

At once, Li Yi strode towards that direction.

Meanwhile.

In the distant grasslands, a group of mutant beasts resembling stallions yet akin to tigers and leopards were gathered, playfully engaging with each other, but among them, a leader-level mutant beast regarded the silver lightning shining from afar with caution.

"Roar!"

The leader beast let out a low growl, dispersing the group, then charged toward the direction from which the thunder emanated.

It intends to protect its territory, even if faced with a formidable invader.

But in the next moment.

Boom!

A bolt of silver lightning, carrying a surge of Divine Power, descended from the sky at a speed that could not be evaded, striking the mutant beast and leaving its body mangled and bleeding profusely.

Though possessing the terrifying strength of sixty Mountain Lord levels, capable of shattering mountains with a roar, under the mighty power of One God, this mutant beast leader appeared as fragile as an ant.

The gap in strength was too vast to be bridged merely by courage.

"A mutant beast I’ve never seen before, but quite powerful, it hasn’t died yet." Li Yi, towering a hundred zhang tall, arrived stepping on Xiangyun, his gaze overlooking the beast on the ground, also offering it a choice: "Surrender to me, serve me in battle later, and I will spare your life."

The mutant beast leader, naturally understanding Li Yi’s words, facing One God, couldn’t even flee, trembling incessantly under divine pressure.

Yet it refused to leave this grassland or its tribe, hence it stubbornly held its ground, roaring with resentment at the deity above.

"Refusing to surrender, huh? Indeed shows backbone, but your existence threatens the survival of several nearby tribes, and as One God, I must also consider the safety of others; I can’t let you be unchecked."

Li Yi slightly shook his head, stopped persuading, and instructed, "Chi Dragon, eat it."

The next moment.

From the Xiangyun, a massive dragon silhouette sprung forth, directly confronting the mutant beast leader and swallowing it whole; the injured beast leader didn’t even have time to resist, the battle was already over.

After accomplishing this task, Li Yi continued to the next place,

As the ruler of a nation, the role clearly wasn’t easy; he often had to personally attend to matters. Fortunately, he didn’t blindly expand his territory, instead taking several days to travel round this thousand-mile nation, dealing with some terribly powerful mutant beasts, before returning to Red Gold Mountain.

And this conduct by Li Yi undoubtedly greatly enhanced his prestige.

Many tribal warriors witnessed the God of Red Gold Mountain wielding the Power of thunder and lightning, surveying Red Gold Country, while also eliminating numerous significant threats for their tribes, delivering peace and stability.

This made the tribe members grateful to One God Da Yi, gradually cultivating cohesion within Red Gold Country.

While Li Yi was busy, the group of cultivation experts were not idle either; they had already erected a majestic giant city atop Red Gold Mountain, with the previous mountain range completely vanished, leveled by cultivation experts using Daoist Skills.

Moreover, outside Red Gold Mountain, the cultivation experts constructed roads, opened rivers, giving it the semblance of a grand city.

In reality, Li Yi wanted to settle in Divine Wood City.

Yet Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi opposed this, arguing the Divine Woods within the city were too conspicuous; if a war were to occur, it could easily be affected, and with the numerous convoluted associations between people inside Divine Wood City and the Divine Wood Lineage, expanding Red Mountain City on Red Gold Mountain was simpler and more direct.

Li Yi, being someone who heeds advice, dismissed this idea.

And as time passed.

The expanded Red Mountain City rapidly flourished; additionally, Li Yi’s influence grew larger as numerous tribes migrated from a thousand miles away to Red Gold Country, seeking protection from this One God.

"Stay a bit longer, need to return to Earth once."

Li Yi planned, once everything normalized here, to leave the Barbaric World; he never intended to be a king here for long, manifesting all these efforts purely to prepare for the ensuing cross-world war.

In the coming period, Li Yi arranged for cultivation experts to train warriors, urged Tian Gong Taoist to craft Immortal Dao Battleships and Enlightenment Artifacts, also instructing High Priest Dou Kun to contact the Merchant Master to gather treasures possibly being miracles, while the remaining cultivation experts governed this thousand-mile land.

Though it had only been a few months, the changes were colossal.

These Tri-Floral Realm cultivation experts were incredibly useful; they seemed knowledgeable about everything, capable of handling any affair, and after months of cultivation, many gradually restored their peak strength.

The name of Red Gold Country was also spreading across this ancient land.

Many began to learn of One God Da Yi’s name; naturally, some harbored hostility towards Red Gold Country, for the emergence of a nation inevitably ushered in expansion, consequently compressing others’ living spaces.

Luckily, Li Yi’s creation of Red Gold Country was merely a small nation covering a thousand miles, devoid of expansion plans, reducing many troubles and alleviating numerous concerns.
