Ch 51: The Butcher and the Demonic Khan

“Rebuilding after cultivation is abolished, and there’s this effect?” Chu Mo remembered the last time he saw someone’s cultivation being abolished and rebuilt, making the foundation more solid, it seemed to be when he was reading Battle Through the Heavens…

But then, Chu Mo realized what the other self was preparing to do.

It was as he expected…

【In the 451st year, after confirming that you had plenty of time, you chose to abolish your cultivation again and start over!】

【In the 2510th year, you abolished your power for the ninth time!】

【In the 2852nd year, for the tenth time, you abolished your power again and re-cultivated to the Half-Step Heaven-Human Realm. You keenly realized that the quality and quantity of the Qi in your body had not increased again!

You realized that you had reached some kind of extreme in this realm of Qi!

Although your spirit was only half as strong, the quality of your inner force was more than twenty times stronger than before!

In the Half-Step Heaven-Human Realm, you were confident that you could fight the you who had broken through to the Heaven-Human Realm in the previous life.

After confirming that abolishing power was useless, you finally took that step and became a great expert in the Heaven-Human Realm!】

Chu Mo silently threw another Demonic Seed into his mouth to supply the increase in his body’s strength.

【In the 3570th year, you successfully reached the peak you had once reached! Achieving the peak of the Heaven-Human Realm.】

【In the 3852nd year, you glimpsed a bit of the demeanor above the peak of the Heaven-Human Realm.】

After the point allocation ended, Chu Mo frowned slightly and sorted out the information that emerged in his mind, “Logically speaking, I should be able to break through after such a long time! It’s not like I lack techniques.”

Whether it was the numerous techniques of the Ming Dynasty or the Zhiyuan Demonic Art, they were all complete Level 2 techniques. The Celestial Phenomenon Realm was hard to say, but the Heaven and Earth Realm was definitely within the scope of Level 2!

After closing his eyes and thinking for a moment, Chu Mo realized something, “Perhaps I lack combat?”

There was a very famous saying in the Main World: bitter cultivation will not make you the best in the world. Many breakthroughs for experts are achieved during intense battles…

“With my current strength, the only ones who can put pressure on me should be Huang Taiji and those Demonic Prince-level figures of the same level as him!”

Chu Mo was briefly silent, then turned around and re-entered the courtyard. He looked at the remaining bones of his parents, and a complex look appeared in his eyes.

Even though he was only three or four years old in this life, he had quite deep feelings for his parents. If it weren’t for the fact that these three or four years of memories didn’t account for much compared to his decades of memories, he would never have been so calm when he first awakened his memories.

With a sigh in his heart, Chu Mo waved his sleeve, and the Mountain River Sea Domain manipulated the ground to sink. He carefully collected all the bones of his parents and buried them deep underground.

Afterward, Chu Mo re-entered the room, looking at one room after another, faintly recalling his past life.

Finally, he pursed his lips and took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen that his deceased father had just finished forging three days ago, as a memento.

Walking out of the house, Chu Mo looked at the courtyard and gently patted his palm. The earth vibrated slightly, and the entire house slowly sank.

After completing everything, Chu Mo bowed slightly, he spoke softly.

“Don’t worry, I will use the lives of thousands of demons, use Huang Taiji, use Dorgon, use Hooge… use the destruction of the Demon Qing Dynasty! To commemorate you two, to commemorate all the spirits in heaven of those who died under the iron hooves of the demons!”

Chu Mo walked towards the outside of the city, the Mountain River Sea Domain reflecting the tragic scene inside the city into his mind.

Although there were still people alive in the entire city, it could be said that less than one in a hundred remained…

He walked past one house after another. If only corpses remained in the house, then the house would sink into the ground along with the corpses.

When he went around the city and truly walked out of the town, the originally prosperous city turned into a vast wasteland…

Of course, it’s not like there weren’t any living people… but Chu Mo used the Mountain River Domain to turn these people’s houses into basements.

Otherwise, if these few houses stood alone on the ground, they would surely die if they encountered a demon attack.

Eight days later, the Guan Ning Cavalry finally arrived.

But looking at the city address, the leader of the cavalry almost suspected that he had found the wrong place… It wasn’t until he found the survivors that he confirmed that he hadn’t come to the wrong place, but they also found it difficult to get information from the survivors.

They could only know that the tragedy and the great change happened eight days ago.

In the end, the Guan Ning Cavalry could only leave with the survivors with a confused look on their faces.

Spring passed and winter came, the cold frost was biting.

Ten years passed in a flash.

Jinzhou City.

Sun Chuanting, wearing heavy armor, led his Qin army into this important border town.

Riding on his warhorse, Sun Chuanting stared at his surroundings with a strange expression. Street vendors were shouting, children were playing on the street, a scene of peace and tranquility.

This didn’t look like an important border town confronting the demons at all, but more like a water town in Jiangnan that had been at peace for a long time.

Governor-General’s Residence.

Zu DaShou was already waiting at the door. Seeing Sun Chuanting arrive, he immediately greeted him with a respectful smile, “Lord Sun!”

Zu DaShou knew that Sun Chuanting was Emperor Chongzhen’s new favorite, the newly appointed Secretary of War, and the Governor-General of the Nine Garrisons.

Sun Chuanting might not be able to decide everything, but he could decide the future of the city under his feet to a large extent…

Because he was an extension of Emperor Chongzhen’s will.

If Sun Chuanting felt that Jinzhou City was beyond saving, the imperial court would no longer provide support. Perhaps the fall of the Northeast was imminent!

“There’s no need for pleasantries.” Sun Chuanting raised his hand, his brows furrowed. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn’t ask why the important border town could be so peaceful. Instead, he asked another question, “I came here by imperial order, only to ask—”

“Is that nursery rhyme that has spread throughout the world true?”

Zu DaShou’s body stiffened, and after a long silence, he nodded.

“It’s really not those false kings… but a true Demonic Khan has been born?! This kind of thing?!” Sun Chuanting’s scalp tingled.

Eight years ago, in the northern grasslands, a young child walked out from the depths of an unknown place. With unmatched power, he unified countless demonic tribes in the grasslands and established a powerful and hierarchical nomadic military empire.

The demons piously and fanatically called him… the Demonic Khan! Meaning the son of the Eternal Heaven, able to lead the demons to glory again.

The demons under his leadership had several conflicts with the demon race, making Huang Taiji wary…

The original demon army was even torn into two parts, demon and demon, because of him.

Logically speaking, they should be happy that the enemy’s power was divided… but the problem was, that was the Demonic Khan—the ruling family of the Yuan Dynasty that once entered the Central Plains!

In a sense, the psychological pressure that the demon race brought to Emperor Chongzhen was even higher than that of the demon race. After all, there was a precedent for being destroyed by demons…

“I clearly thought it must be a rumor before I came…” Sun Chuanting’s mood was complicated. After all, if it was really the Demonic Khan recorded in the history books, he should have already gone south to use blood sacrifices to rapidly expand the strength of the tribe. But in fact, the grassland defense line was very peaceful…

“Actually, the situation isn’t that bad!” Zu DaShou hesitated again and again before speaking softly, “The Demonic Khan… let’s put that aside for now!”

Although it wasn’t because of the appearance of the Demonic Khan, the city under his feet might have fallen seven years ago.

At that time, the demon army was too strong and too terrifying! Not to mention, his old boss Hong Chengchou had become a traitor… The Demonic Khan’s tearing apart of the demon group and his attacks on the demon race gave them a lot of breathing room.

Zu DaShou restrained his thoughts, took a deep breath, and said word by word, “Our Northeastern people also have their own guardian god!”

Sun Chuanting’s body paused, and a light appeared in his eyes.

“It seems that the legend of the Butcher, the son of Changbai Mountain, the guardian god of the Northeast, who severely injured Huang Taiji, is also true?”

The Butcher, a strange talent who walked out of Changbai Mountain five years ago. At first, many people called him a savage, but when tens of thousands of demon soldiers fell under the rusty kitchen knife in his hand…

When that young boy stepped on countless demon corpses and bones, and almost single-handedly caused the demon army to become decadent and decline…

He had a new name that made both demons and demons deeply awe, even fear—

Butcher!

The Butcher and the Demonic Khan were the two mentioned in the nursery rhyme that spread throughout the world!

Staying up late is too much, the next chapter will be updated at twelve noon.

I’ll adjust my schedule, and basically switch to daytime in the future, updating at twelve noon and five in the evening.
