"How is this possible?"
Jian Yong stood in the void, his right hand a bloody mess, his expression horrified. "It can't be, how can it be, how can it be!"
"My Jian clan received the grace of heaven and earth, and mastered the way of slaughter. The combined might of five hundred thousand sword cultivators' full force attack actually shattered ten thousand sword hearts!"
"Impossible!"
"Da Han!"
Jian Yong's face contorted as he glared at Ma Yuan, who stood in the void holding the Azure Dragon Army Banner. He watched the azure banner flow and bared his teeth.
"Great Han Dynasty, do you know the consequences of offending my Sword God Sacred Land!"
"The Sword God Sacred Land is the sole ruler of the Eastern Desolation Continent!"
"This old man will make you pay with blood!"
Five hundred thousand sword cultivators at the Heavenly Martial realm. This was the culmination of a million years of effort and immense resources invested by the Sword God Sacred Land. The cultivation of these Heavenly Martial realm sword cultivators had almost depleted the Sword God Sacred Land's foundation.
Such an army of sword cultivators was something even the Crimson Night Imperial Dynasty could not withstand, yet they had fallen into the hands of the Great Han Dynasty.
Jian Yong's cold and furious voice echoed through the void. He unleashed a punch, his aura weakened but still possessing the terrifying might of a high-level Venerate. A vast surge of primordial energy rushed towards Ma Yuan's face.
"Human, die!"
Jian Yong's heart burned with rage and fury, pouring down in an unparalleled, violent surge of primordial energy, completely different from his previous sharp and keen intent.
"Alien!"
"How dare you!"
A thunderous roar crossed the void. Jian Yong, who was about to unleash his furious punch, found his body frozen in mid-air. His expression turned to terror, and his lips trembled.
An unimaginable power directly controlled his very being in the void, even suppressing his seventh-level Venerate primordial energy.
Only by stepping into the realm of top-tier Venerates, standing at the pinnacle of the Cangyuan World, could one possess such power to lock down the void and suppress him.
The top supreme experts of the Great Han Dynasty had indeed come with the army.
He slightly turned his head, his gaze filled with horror as he looked towards the horizon where Li Guang stood, clad in azure armor with an Azure Dragon protecting his heart.
A mere glance from Li Guang extinguished any hope of survival for Jian Yong.
"Xenon, how dare you be arrogant before this general!"
Li Guang, positioned far away in the sky, merely swept his primordial energy, and the arrogant Jian Yong was suppressed.
Li Guang extended his right hand. Streams of azure light appeared in his palm, slowly coiling like an Azure Dragon. The flowing light coalesced into an azure war bow.
The war bow shimmered with azure light throughout, adorned with dragon scales. A dragon head stood at the center of the bow, its mouth tightly closed, emitting wisps of light. At the tips of the bow, four claws gripped, and the bowstring was crystal clear, like pure white jade.
Li Guang held the war bow in his left hand, his eyes narrowed, firmly locking onto Jian Yong in the distant sky.
He gripped the bowstring with his right hand and pulled with force. The war bow bent like a full moon. The dragon's mouth opened, filled with surging azure light that flashed wildly.
"Roar~~"
A dragon's roar pierced the nine heavens!
A long dragon formed between the precious bow and the bowstring, gradually solidifying into an azure arrow, radiating brilliant divine light.
The moment the arrow condensed, the nine heavens' divine sun was extinguished. Azure flowing light enveloped the firmament, illuminating all directions.
The sky split, and a grey cascade, like a waterfall, poured down from above Li Guang's head, scattering onto the land.
"Boom!!"
The Azure Dragon roamed the heavens and earth, lightning blazing!
A bottomless chasm, originating from the ground beneath Li Guang's feet, shot like an earth dragon, directly towards Jian Yong.
The Azure Dragon's divine might blazed with resplendent light, a divine power that suppressed heaven and earth, engulfing Jian Yong within its terrifying gaze.
The flowing light continued, traversing the nine heavens!
"Azure Dragon Legion!"
Chen Tang, watching the disappearing azure light, turned his gaze to the five hundred thousand sword cultivators nearby. His eyes were as cold as ice as he gripped his long sword tightly and bellowed.
"Annihilate the five hundred thousand sword cultivators of the Sword God Sacred Land, leave none alive!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion, having recovered their primordial energy, stared directly at the five hundred thousand sword cultivators. These cultivators, having lost their blades and shattered the spiritual support in their hearts, had their will to fight collapse, their eyes ashen.
...
"Sword God Sacred Land?"
In the Northern Region Continent, at the ancestral land of the Four-Eyed Tribe – Celestial Mountain.
"Does the Sword God Sacred Land truly possess such immense power?"
Huangfu Youyun, the patriarch of the Four-Eyed Tribe and the second-in-command of Celestial Mountain, a top-tier Venerate, now managed all affairs of Celestial Mountain in place of the old ancestor.
Throughout the generations, the Four-Eyed Tribe had been led by their old ancestor, with the patriarch merely a figurehead. Following the dissipation of the primordial spirit of the Four-Eyed Tribe's ancestor, Huangfu Nian, he was forced to suppress his own primordial spirit and handed over the affairs of the Four-Eyed Tribe to Huangfu Youyun.
Huangfu Youyun looked at a tribesman from the Xiling Imperial Dynasty of the Eastern Desolation Continent, falling into deep thought.
"Patriarch, in my opinion, the Sword God Sacred Land must have a top-tier power backing them. It's either the Demon Race or the Barbarian Race!"
A middle-aged man said with a smile.
"Oh?"
"What is the Elder's opinion?"
Huangfu Youyun looked at the Grand Elder, Huangfu Shitian.
"Patriarch, the Sword God Sacred Land has only existed for a few years, yet it can contend with the ancient Crimson Night Imperial Dynasty of the Demon Race."
"In my view, without the private support of the two top hegemons of the Cangyuan World, how could the Sword God Sacred Land possess the ability to simultaneously suppress the Southern Heaven Family, the Crimson Night Imperial Dynasty, and the Xiling Imperial Dynasty!" Sū Dān Xiǎo Shuō Wǎng
"The opportunity of a million years is approaching. The Demon Race and the Barbarian Race are likely impatient."
"Patriarch, the Eastern Desolation Continent is currently a very deep water. There is the Sword God Sacred Land, and the newly emerged Great Han Dynasty."
"One has a long-standing reputation, while the other..."
Huangfu Shitian sneered, "The Great Han Dynasty, a human force that has never appeared before, actually possesses a powerful expert at the top-tier Venerate realm."
"Although Yuwen Yongyan was defeated by me in the past, his strength was considered mid-tier among top-tier Venerates. To be so easily killed by a top expert of the Great Han Dynasty indicates that the Great Han's origins are not insignificant."
"Patriarch, the purpose of our establishment of the Xiling Imperial Dynasty was to disrupt the balance of the Eastern Desolation Continent and create obstacles for the Demon Race and the Barbarian Race, thereby gaining time for us to annex the Ice and Snow Palace."
"In my opinion, the current situation is beneficial to our Four-Eyed Tribe!"
"How is it beneficial?"
Huangfu Youyun smiled faintly.
"The situation on the Eastern Desolation Continent is already chaotic. The Crimson Night Imperial Dynasty's power is waning, and the Southern Heaven Family is at a critical juncture. The Sword God Sacred Land's military might is strong, but their supply lines are stretched too far, and they will likely show signs of fatigue soon."
"I suggest it is time for the Four-Eyed Tribe to unify the Northern Region. As for the Xiling Imperial Dynasty, they should cut their losses promptly, select capable descendants to return to Celestial Mountain, and the rest can find their own way out!"
Huangfu Shitian bowed slightly.
"Mm!"
Huangfu Youyun nodded. "If the battle on the Eastern Desolation Continent cannot be stopped in time, the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for the Sword God Sacred Land. Then, the person behind them will likely reveal themselves!"
"Since they cannot wait any longer, there is no need for our Four-Eyed Tribe to hide anything!"
Huangfu Youyun stood up abruptly, his eyes flashing as he surveyed the great hall.
