"Great Han Dynasty?"
"You mustn't lie to this old man!"
"So the imperial dynasty's remnant is fake?"
In the grand hall of the Human Emperor's Palace, Xi Chen looked at Xue Ming, who was clad in black, his face filled with surprise.
"Heh heh heh, Chief Xi Chen, surely you don't doubt me?" Xue Ming held a human-head wine vessel in one hand, filled to the brim with fresh blood.
Xi Chen frowned as he looked at Xue Ming drinking human blood. Xue Ming, the chief of the Blood Python clan from the Heavenly Demon Barren Domain, was also the supreme commander of the Heavenly Demon Barren Domain's vanguard army.
If this came from him, then the matter was likely not false!
Xue Ming drained the cup of blood in one gulp, his eyes turning scarlet. With an expression of enjoyment, he declared, "The blood of human Fusion Heaven Realm martial artists, as expected, is still a little lacking!"
"Chief Xi Chen, the Great Han is indeed a dynasty. However, do not underestimate it. For the Great Han to rank among the top powers in the human territory of the Southwest Region as a mere dynasty, it must possess a formidable foundation."
"As far as I know, within the Great Han Dynasty, there are martial artists in the Heaven-Piercing Realm. Tsk tsk tsk, have you and I ever tasted the blood of a human in the Heaven-Piercing Realm?"
"The imperial dynasty's remnant is indeed fake, but the one who repelled your Fire Crow Demon Ancestor that day was indeed from the imperial dynasty!"
"Hmph!"
Xi Chen snorted coldly, "Chief Xue Ming, you likely only know one side of the story. The reason my Blazing Rhinoceros army abandoned the other front was because this so-called Great Han Dynasty is far more complex than you or I can comprehend."
"Oh?"
Xue Ming toyed with the human-head vessel in his hand and suddenly looked up. Xi Chen had suddenly appeared with his army a few days prior, and before he could inquire, a battle with the Human Emperor's Palace had broken out. This delay had made him forget about it.
"The Great Han does indeed have Heaven-Piercing Realm experts, and not just one. Our Blazing Rhinoceros had two Heaven-Piercing Realm experts, and our army of two hundred thousand men was completely annihilated at the northern frontier. According to my clan's Xi He, the human general guarding the border alone made him feel a desire to retreat."
"Xi He?"
"Your clan's most valiant warrior?"
Xue Ming frowned. He had heard of Xi He, who had a strength of the fifth layer of the Heaven-Piercing Realm. In any vanguard army of the Four Great Barren Domains, he could command an army!
"When did such a powerful nation rise in the human territory?"
Below, a general clad in armor, holding a human thigh bone, gnawed on it ferociously.
"The Human Emperor's Palace has lost all of its ten thousand li of territory. Chief Xi Chen, my suggestion is to temporarily set aside the Great Han and focus on taking down the Cang Mu Dynasty, the Northern Cold Dynasty, the Sacred Origin Dynasty, and the Heavenly Origin Dynasty first!"
Xue Ming's expression changed, and he said coldly, "The human territory is vast. The population of these few dynasties alone is enough for us to digest. Why bother trying to bite off a hard bone?"
"Hmph!"
"You have quite an appetite. Do the Iron Lion clan and the Heaven Devouring Gluttonous Wolf clan agree?"
Xi Chen slowly turned the blood cup in his hand and chuckled, looking at Xue Ming. The vanguard armies of the Four Great Barren Domains attacking the human territory were operating under the principle of 'whoever conquers, owns'. Who would hold back?
"Hmph, that's not for them to decide. Chief Xi Chen, shall we head south?"
"The Human Emperor's Palace has once again gathered a million servings of blood food, waiting for us. Such a generous offering, how can we refuse?"
"Attack!"
"Attack!"
The entire hall erupted in roars. Everyone was even more burly and their blood energy even more vigorous than a few days ago. This blood and flesh seemed like an addiction; once indulged, it was hard to stop!
Xi Chen looked at Xue Ming and nodded. Although their two clans had conquered the territory of the Human Emperor's Palace, there were no humans to be found in this vast expanse. In contrast, Chief Xue Ming of the Blood Python clan, they of the Blazing Rhinoceros were at a disadvantage. The other army of the Blood Pythons had already occupied two-thirds of the Heavenly Moon Dynasty's territory.
And their Blazing Rhinoceros clan had yet to secure any human territory of their own. If this continued, and higher authorities demanded accountability, it wouldn't be something he could bear.
"In that case, let us march upon the Cang Mu Dynasty and annihilate the main forces of the major dynasties in one fell swoop!"
The Ten Elders?
Heh heh!
.....
"General Lang Cai, from this location, heading southwest for three hundred li, lies the territory of the Blood Sun Dynasty!"
At the eastern border town of the Great Yan Dynasty, a resolute army slowly advanced. The human cities at this time were engulfed in thick black smoke. Some beast soldiers, as they walked, would casually grab a piece of flesh and tear into it, their faces smeared with blood, looking ferocious.
This resolute army, each standing nine feet tall, with human bodies and wolf heads, their skin a dark green hue. Each beast soldier clutched a bloodthirsty spear tightly. Some soldiers carried several human corpses on their backs, tearing into them to eat when hungry. This army was vast, stretching for several miles, numbering one hundred thousand strong!
Heaven Devouring Gluttonous Wolves!
This army had launched a surprise attack from the eastern part of the Great Yan Dynasty and was heading towards the territory of the Blood Sun Dynasty. Among the Ten Human Dynasties, there were few wolves and much less meat!
"Blood Sun Dynasty?"
Lang Cai looked towards the southwest. The Blood Sun Dynasty, if he remembered correctly, was even weaker than the Great Yan Dynasty. Without the need for other armies from his clan, he alone could conquer Blood Sun!
"Jie jie jie!!"
"Is my roasted meat ready?"
He roared and looked back. Behind the army, a moving war chariot was being pulled by several soldiers. The chariot had no luxurious carriage, only rows of roasted red corpses!
Most of them were children. For them, unless the elderly humans were martial arts experts with potent elemental energy!
"General, it's ready!"
A soldier grinned and lifted a bright red corpse, trotting happily towards Lang Cai.
"Tear!"
Lang Cai tore at it with a large bite, and rich oil splattered out, making the surrounding soldiers drool profusely.
"Heh heh!!"
Lang Cai grinned, "All troops, heed my command! Discard the human corpses and advance lightly. We will break into Blood Sun tonight. Little ones, a vast amount of delicious blood food awaits us ahead, charge!"
"Charge!"
The hundred thousand strong army roared towards the sky, their cries echoing for dozens of miles, filling the air with a mournful atmosphere. The once prosperous city was now a scene of burning ruins. There were basically no human corpses to be seen, only pools of blood and torn fabric.
If one were to find a corpse, it would 100% be an elderly person with weak blood energy!
The Great Yan Dynasty was now extremely weak, having essentially abandoned vast border territories and establishing heavy defenses only within a thousand li of the Great Yan Dynasty's capital, preparing for a decisive battle.
The situation in the entire Southwest Region seemed to be a one-sided affair, with humanity in a precarious position!
