North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun and the Origin of the Northern Darkness
"His Majesty personally led the expedition, and after a day and night of fighting, he directly crushed the North Sea Coalition Army."
"Judging from the corpses on the battlefield, at least 200,000 enemy soldiers were killed in the daytime battle."
"The nighttime raid took down at least 200,000 enemy soldiers."
"The Seventy-Two Allied Armies of the North Sea originally numbered over 1.2 million, but more than 700,000 have perished here."
"The rest of the troops were also routed; some fled, others escaped, and they no longer pose a threat."
"If those feudal lords do not wish to surrender, they will surely return to their respective tribes and regroup their forces."
Hearing this, Ye Xuan nodded.
Although the losses were severe.
However, their efforts to suppress the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords in the North Sea were not in vain.
"Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, hand over all the cavalry under your command to Huang Feihu and place Huang Feihu in unified command."
When Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen led 500,000 troops to the North Sea to suppress the Seventy-Two Feudal Lords, he naturally had troops from all different branches.
The elite cavalry also brought tens of thousands.
If the cavalry under Grand Tutor Wen were handed over to Huang Feihu's cavalry would reach as many as 120,000, which would be a significant boost.
After Ye Xuan made some arrangements...
The size of the army has changed considerably.
Huang Feihu directly commanded 120,000 cavalry.
The remaining 530,000 troops were combined into one force.
Wen Zhong Grand Tutor Wen appointed as the chief commander, and Zhang Kui as the deputy commander.
A new formation has been formed.
Of the original 790,000 troops, 140,000 have been lost, leaving 650,000.
120,000 cavalry.
530,000 light mobile troops, heavy armored troops, shield bearers, archers, and other infantry.
As Ye Xuan fell silent, everyone else fell silent once again.
The atmosphere in the camp also became slightly somber.
Many people were moved.
This Northern Expedition can be described as an unprecedented victory.
The loss of 140,000 to 150,000 directly crushed the enemy's million-strong army.
This is already a remarkable achievement.
But His Human Emperor the Emperor was clearly not in high spirits.
This shows that His Human Emperor the Emperor loves his people like his own children.
They were heartbroken by the loss of their troops.
How could they not be moved by such a monarch?
How could they not swear to be loyal to such a ruler to the death?
Just as silence fell over the camp.
Deng Zhong returned to report.
Standing behind Deng Zhong was indeed North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun with a dragon's head and a human body.
Upon seeing Ye Xuan, Ao Shun was immediately startled.
"Old Dragon Ao Shun pays respects to His Majesty the Human Emperor!"
Old Dragon Ao Shun bowed respectfully to Ye Xuan.
Under their elder brother's leadership, the Dragon Clan has sided with the Human Clan.
His Majesty the Human Emperor openly declared in Chaoge that the Human Clan would protect the Dragon Clan.
At the same time, it also gave the Dragon Clan many benefits.
The Primordial World land and waters were all bestowed upon the Dragon Clan by the Human Emperor.
This can be said to have finally brought peace to their Dragon Clan.
His elder brother, Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, also underwent a successful bloodline transformation under the guidance of the Human Emperor's envoy, becoming True Dragon.
All of this was bestowed upon the Dragon Clan by the Human Emperor.
How could North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun, not be extremely respectful to the Human Emperor?
"Dragon King, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise and take a seat."
The Dragon King then got up and sat down next to Huang Feihu.
"Dragon King, the main reason I summoned you here is to inquire about the monsters of the North Sea."
"When the North Sea rebelled, I personally led the expedition, but unexpectedly encountered an ancient ferocious Thunder Beast."
"Do you know anything about this Thunder Beast?"
Are there any other ferocious beasts in the North Sea?
North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun, nodded. He had already guessed the purpose of the Human Emperor's invitation.
This is naturally due to the ferocious beasts of the North Sea.
He took a deep breath, organized his thoughts, and finally spoke:
"Your Majesty is actually unaware of some things."
"All living beings in the world believe that among the Four Seas —east, west, south, north, North Sea is the smallest, but this is not the case."
"To be honest, the North Sea is the largest of the four major oceans, even surpassing the East Sea in size."
"The reason why people in the world have such prejudices is mainly because the North Sea is a wild and undeveloped place, and few people know anything about the North Sea."
"In addition, the shape of the North Sea is quite unique, resembling a gourd. In the middle of the North Sea is a very simple peninsula, which almost divides North Sea in two, with only a small body of water in the middle connecting the two seas."
"Due to special circumstances, a powerful being named these two oceans separately. One was called the Northern Darkness, and the other the North Sea. From then on, the North Sea was divided into two."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
This was definitely a secret to him.
Although he had traveled from the future, he was unaware of these secrets.
The legendary North Sea and the Northern Darkness are actually connected.
That really surprised him.
North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun, organized his thoughts and continued.
"Since the beginning of time, an extremely powerful Innate being has been born in the Northern Darkness Sea region."
"After this being gained sentience, it called itself Kunpeng, and the ocean that nurtured Kunpeng was also called the Northern Darkness."
So that's how the name Northern Darkness came about.
Ye Xuan finally understood.
He knew perfectly well who Kunpeng really was.
Kunpeng is an Innate being of great renown in the Primordial World.
He was one of the most powerful figures in the ancient, Primordial World.
The place where Kunpeng was born is Northern Darkness, which is also the half of the North Sea mentioned by North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun.
It is said that the Kunpeng has an incredibly powerful body, which almost occupies half of the Northern Darkness.
Many people believe that the physical body of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng is the largest in the Primordial World.
There are even poems specifically praising the physical body of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng.
In the Northern Darkness there is a fish, its name is Kun. Kun is so large that no one knows how many thousands of miles it is.
It transformed into a bird, named Peng. The back of Peng is so vast that its length is unknown.
It flew in anger, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky.
These verses are enough to prove just how enormous the physical body of the Old Ancestor Kunpeng was.
At the time, Ye Xuan jokingly remarked that the Kunpeng was so large that it couldn't be stewed in one pot.
The Old Ancestor Kunpeng, who possesses such a physical body, naturally possesses unfathomable strength.
It is said that when it was born, it already possessed the strength of Daluo Golden Immortal.
With a little practice, he had already reached the Quasi-Saint realm.
Even among Quasi-Saint, they are among the very few.
Unfortunately, in the Purple Cloud Palace, he was tricked by those two despicable Saint from the West, which caused Daoist Hongyun to implicate Old Ancestor Kunpeng and ultimately lose the opportunity to become Saint.
Later, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng became the Demon Master of the Demon Clan.
He also created the Demon Clan's script, gaining astonishing merit.
After the Witch-Demon War and the Demon King, the Old Ancestor Kunpeng became unknown.
No one knows where the Old Ancestor Kunpeng went; it remains an unknown to this day.
Just as Ye Xuan was deep in thought, North Sea Dragon King Ao Shun to speak:
