"How is this possible?"
"This..."
"This..."
Ying Zhong, the Saint Yuan Human Emperor, his eyes bulged, staring in terror at this army. How could the Han Kui Niu Legion be composed entirely of Divine Mansion realm cultivators!
Divine Mansion Realm!!
Just six months ago, they were only Grandmasters. The Han army's overall strength was on par with other Imperial Dynasties. How could it be that in just half a year, they had become an army of Divine Mansion realm cultivators!
Divine Mansion Realm!
Even the Ancient Wild Scorching Flame Rhinoceros and the Blood Python army were merely at the peak of the Returning Yuan Realm. With such an army, it was no wonder the northern borders of Han remained peaceful.
"Divine Mansion!"
"A hundred thousand Divine Mansion realm troops at least!"
Elder Xue, looking at the Han Kui Niu Legion stretching as far as the eye could see, couldn't help but be astonished. This was the first time he had seen the Han army. On the city walls, the Human Emperors present all had pale faces. As they watched the approaching army, fear began to grip their hearts.
Such a powerful army was more terrifying than the man-eating Ancient Wilds!
"What kind of army is this of Han?"
Elder Yue, gazing at the vast army moving from the southwest, gasped. How could the Han Dynasty possibly nurture such a formidable force?
"The Han Kui Niu Legion!"
Ying Zhong's eyes were vacant, staring blankly at the distant army. Half a year ago, it was this Kui Niu Legion that had annihilated the Great Yun Dynasty. The commander of the Kui Niu Legion, Qi Jiguang, possessed unparalleled military tactics. The army launched a surprise attack on the capital, and within a month, Great Yun had collapsed!
"Kui Niu Legion!"
"I have always heard that Han has six great legions, each capable of destroying an Imperial Dynasty. Seeing it today, this single Kui Niu Legion alone could conquer the entire Southwestern Domain!"
Elder Sheng's eyes were filled with greed for this army. If the Human Emperor Hall possessed such an army, why would the Ancient Wilds dare to be so presumptuous!
"Han!"
"What are they doing here?"
Emperor Tian Yuan nervously eyed the Kui Niu Legion. As soon as he spoke, everyone was startled. Yes, what were the Han doing here? Could it be that they intended to destroy them and unify the Southwestern Domain?
"Halt the army ahead!"
"Halt the army ahead!"
"Halt the army ahead!"
A marquis from the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty, with a brave face, shouted towards the Kui Niu Legion, "Han army, the front is the capital of our Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty. You have neither the order of the Ten Elders nor the decree of the Human Alliance!"
"Stop here and turn back!"
"Our Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty can exempt you from the crime of trespassing into our territory without cause!"
Zhou Yuji, riding his horse forward, frightened that marquis and the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty soldiers into retreating, their mouths dry.
"Who are you?"
"What is the reason for Han's unauthorized entry into our territory?"
On the city walls, Elder Sheng narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhou Yuji, who had ridden forward. His heart tightened. A Heaven-Piercing Realm expert, he, who had already stepped into the peak of the Heaven-Transformation Realm, knew how difficult that step was.
"Vanguard General of the Han Kui Niu Legion—Zhou Yuji!"
With a resounding boom, the supreme might of the Heaven-Piercing Realm pressed down. The Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty marquis before Zhou Yuji turned red in the face and directly knelt down, as if an immense force had bent his waist.
On the city walls, Elder Sheng, Elder Xue, Elder Yue, and the various Human Emperors present all showed fear. Zhou Yuji exuded a powerful vital energy pressure. Especially Elder Xue and Elder Yue, they had already been impacted by the immense pressure generated by Wang Yue and Li Bai's breakthroughs in the Blood Refining Cave!
Such powerful blood energy flickered faintly on Zhou Yuji, leaving them utterly shocked!
Besides Wang Yue and Li Bai, Han actually had another Heaven-Piercing Realm expert!
Zhou Yuji looked with cold eyes, his expression ice-cold. When his killing intent-filled gaze fell upon the city walls, the top figures of the Southwestern Domain all lowered their heads, breaking out in a cold sweat, daring not to meet his gaze.
The immense pressure buffeted them, their throats suddenly felt a surge of heat, and their bodies' vital energy weakened.
"Boom!"
Zhou Yuji raised a yellow scroll in his right hand, and with a sudden force, a terrifying pressure descended. This pressure was different from Zhou Yuji's vital energy as a Heaven-Piercing Realm expert. It was the kingly might nurtured by the destiny of an entire dynasty!
"This kingly might?"
"Roar!!"
From within Ying Zhong, the Saint Yuan Human Emperor, Emperor Tian Yuan, Emperor Bei Han, and Emperor Cang Mu, streaks of five-clawed golden dragons shot out, roaring towards the heavens, resisting the kingly might from Zhou Yuji's yellow scroll!
"Decree!" A low hum, yet it shook heaven and earth. The golden ocean in the vast sky churned, and a ten-thousand-zhang-long five-clawed golden dragon parted the clouds, glaring down at the Human Emperors. With a roar, it completely suppressed the Human Emperors' might!
"Pfft!!"
The four Human Emperors directly spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt down. This scene shocked everyone present!
Human Emperors!!
How could they submit to a Human King!!
The Han Human King's kingly might could simultaneously suppress the might of four Human Emperors!
Heavens!
What was happening to the world today!!
"Han Human King's Decree!"
Zhou Yuji swept his gaze around and roared. For a moment, the officials and soldiers of the Cang Mu Imperial Dynasty were all suppressed, kneeling with heads bowed, not daring to look up!
"Han Human King's Decree!"
Zhou Yuji roared again. In the void, the ten-thousand-zhang five-clawed golden dragon roared towards the sky, and waves of kingly might poured down, like a mountain of ten thousand jun suddenly pressing down on Elder Sheng and the others.
For a moment, they gritted their teeth, veins bulging, their bodies trembling slightly, enduring this wave of Human King's might!
Zhou Yuji sneered. He did not continue to suppress them. The Han Kui Niu Legion was ordered to march and pass through Cang Mu. A slight deterrence was sufficient, as the target this time was not the various Imperial Dynasties.
"Han Human King's Decree!"
"Han stands in the land of humanity, securing the peace of hundreds of millions of li of territory. Myriad armies shatter the four directions, hundred generals expand the frontiers for ten thousand li!"
"Granting legendary elixirs and cultivation techniques, rewarding those with ambition as feudal lords, welcoming millions of martial artists from the Southwestern Domain to join, and forgiving old enemies under the command."
"Alas, the seal has been broken, and the ancient wild demonic beasts have invaded, running rampant in all directions, brutally slaughtering, disrespecting civilization. The Tian Yue Imperial Dynasty has been turned into the Nine Nether, with mountains of skulls and ridges of bones. Now, with internal and external troubles, we must raise an army of benevolence and righteousness to slay their myriad races!"
"This King shall lead Han's million-strong army to battle the Ancient Wilds in one decisive engagement!"
"Ten thousand cavalry shall tread upon them!"
"Han marches to battle the Ancient Wilds!"
The King's decree shook everyone present!
Elder Sheng slightly raised his head. Han could raise a righteous army and, together with the various Imperial Dynasties, resist the Ancient Wilds. This was truly fortunate for the Southwestern Domain, fortunate for humanity!
"Esteemed sirs, this general is ordered by the Han King to lead troops into Tian Yue and retake our human territory. I hope all of you will stand on the side of human justice and allow us to march east!"
"Into Tian Yue?"
Elder Sheng's face was filled with bitterness. The Human Emperors on the city walls all looked at Elder Sheng. The fall of Tian Yue had a tremendous impact on the human lands. Han's decision to march into Tian Yue now was out of a sense of human justice, and the territory of Tian Yue must be reclaimed by humanity.
"Elder Sheng!"
"Elder Sheng!"
"Elder Sheng!"
...
Elder Sheng, with a troubled expression, looked at Zhou Yuji, "I entrust this matter to the valiant soldiers of Han!"
"Human Alliance, make way!"
