"Boom!"
Above the endless sea to the west of the Western Continent, the Barbarian High Priest sneered, gazing at the void where countless sharp energies clashed. Within that nexus of blades, the Demon Ancestor, the current foremost figure of the Cang Yuan Plane, appeared emaciated, his flesh torn and bloody by sword qi, his vitality waning.
"High Priest, this old man swears he will not hand over the core seed, ah... come on...!" The Demon Ancestor let out a wild, piercing scream. His powerful physique, sealed within the Demon Cave, had been nurtured for a million years with the essence blood of the most talented disciples of the entire demon race. Its strength was immeasurable.
Yet, it was easily rent apart by that ordinary sword qi, streams of blood forced out by the gale of the blades.
"Hum~"
The High Priest's eyes turned icy. With a raise of his right hand, the long sword spun rapidly back into his palm. With the sword in hand, the boundless sea split open, revealing a chasm of unimaginable depth. Sharp sword qi coiled within the abyss, and the rushing seawater poured in.
"Haste!"
The High Priest's palms shifted, and the long sword spun like a dragon, drawing in a surge of primordial energy. Waves rose, the azure sea churned, and the breakers crashed against the heavens. The sword spun ceaselessly, stirring up ten thousand fathoms of seawater from the boundless ocean. These waters surged skyward, mingling with the void's primordial energy, spinning like a tornado behind the High Priest.
The sheer volume of water was immense. A colossal azure water sword materialized, its tip pointed directly at the Demon Ancestor, crushing his physical body, causing blood to spray forth.
"Who dares oppose me in this plane?"
"In this plane, I am the supreme deity!"
"Fragile ants, hahaha!"
The High Priest laughed to the sky, and lightning coursed through the firmament, rumbling like thunder, as if in response. The azure water sword drew in the endless seawater, causing the entire sea level to drop rapidly. The terrifying energy was like that of a god.
"No..."
The Demon Ancestor's heart shook violently. Gazing at the azure water sword stretching across the sky behind the High Priest, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness and fear filled his mind. The moment the azure water sword condensed, his incredibly robust physique had already begun to crack, unable to withstand the divine might.
"Suppress!"
The High Priest whispered, and with a gentle flick of his finger, the azure water sword shot out. A violent hurricane swept across the desolate, barren islands.
The surging, vast water sword pierced through, taking with it the other half of the island occupied by the Demon Ancestor, which vanished into the vast expanse of the sea. The wind raged, the water poured down, and the sea surface for dozens of miles became a torrential downpour.
"Hum~~"
A emerald-green continent core seed drifted amidst the seawater. The High Priest's expression was greedy. His usually steady demeanor now turned flustered and anxious. He dashed madly across the sea's surface and tightly clasped the continent core seed in his hand.
"Two now!"
The High Priest's expression flickered. He looked at the continent core seed in his palm and murmured, "It was worth my self-inflicted realm reduction and enduring a million years of hardship!!"
"All the accumulated precious medicines were consumed, but to witness this day, nothing else matters."
Seven years of the Great Han Dynasty, January 17th. The Western Continent's Demon Cloud Palace was captured by the White Tiger Legion. The Demon Ancestor and Heavenly Silkworm Demon Lord, rulers of the demon lineage, vanished from the vast territory. Millions of demon disciples were all detained by the Azure Dragon Legion and relocated from the Western Continent.
Seven years of the Great Han Dynasty, January 18th. The Azure Dragon Legion annihilated five hundred thousand Heavenly Martial Army soldiers in the heartland of the Southern Continent. The Barbarian Emperor descended, rescuing the Barbarian Wen, whose body was shattered and primordial spirit weak.
At the same time, Gao Changgong, leading the Golden Rhinoceros Legion, swept across hundreds of miles, launching a surprise attack on the Barbarian capital. The entire capital, a thousand zhang in size, had not a single top-tier Venerable guarding it.
The Golden Rhinoceros Legion's blood mist soared, their iron-blooded killing intent relentless. The army breached the capital's aerial blockade formation and charged into the Barbarians' supreme place of honor.
Gao Changgong, assessing the situation, promptly divided his forces. Dugu Xin and Fei Yingdong led their subordinate armies, driving straight for the He Yun City behind the capital.
On that day, the Barbarian capital was incinerated, hundreds of thousands of Barbarian soldiers' souls scattered to the winds. He Yun City was peacefully received. The Barbarian High Priest went missing.
Seven years of the Great Han Dynasty, January 18th. Li Guang fought fiercely against the Barbarian Emperor. Heaven and earth cracked and the void shattered under their battle. Chen Tang, Ma Yuan, Feng Yi, and Cen Peng glimpsed a corner of the heavens. A divine-like giant eye swept down with a single glance, causing the four to spew blood, their energies weakened, and they were suppressed to the ground.
A few hours later, the Barbarian Emperor's aura waned, his vitality depleted. He could not defeat Li Guang and died on the peak of the void!
On that day, the Azure Dragon Legion's three armies attacked, sweeping through the Barbarian cities in the Southern Continent's heartland. Seven years of the Great Han Dynasty, January 20th. The Western Continent was unified.
Three days later, the Southern Continent no longer had any force capable of resisting the Great Han Dynasty's iron-blooded might. The Barbarian Emperor's fall, like the power of a supreme deity, crushed the Southern Continent, causing it to tremble and sway. The Southern Continent was unified!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Southern Continent and Western Continent are unified!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 4 billion faith points and 30 million slaughter points!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the Nine Cauldrons of Destiny, Emperor Tablet, Xuanyuan Sword, and Nine Dragon Imperial Seal will absorb half of the faith points to further consolidate the national destiny!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted 2 billion faith points!"
"Ding! The host's remaining faith points are 2.5 billion, slaughter points are 90.5 million, and reincarnation power is 900,000!"
"Ding! Reminder to the host, the continent core seeds of the Southern Continent and Western Continent were not successfully obtained. The main mission is still in progress. We hope the host continues to strive!"
"The High Priest, the Demon Ancestor, the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Lord!"
Yang Hao narrowed his eyes, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk. The Cang Yuan world plane was unified, but of the four continent core seeds, two were still missing.
"Hum~~"
Yang Hao withdrew his thoughts and closed his eyes. The Nine Cauldrons of Destiny appeared behind the Samsara Azure Pagoda. Streams of golden light shot out from within the cauldrons, converging and condensing into a map of the Cang Yuan world plane within Yang Hao's sea of consciousness.
A scan of his divine sense allowed him to see every corner of Cang Yuan. Yang Hao's gaze swept over the Cang Yuan world.
"So it's here!"
Yang Hao sneered coldly. On a remote, desolate island in the extreme western sea of the Western Continent, the High Priest sat with his eyes closed, a continent core seed in each hand, absorbing endless primordial energy.
"Two?"
"It seems the Demon Ancestor and Heavenly Silkworm Demon Lord have already died at the hands of the High Priest!"
Yang Hao frowned slightly. The High Priest, Demon Ancestor, and Heavenly Silkworm Demon Lord had been missing for a long time. Now that two continent core seeds appeared in the High Priest's hands, the Demon Ancestor and Heavenly Silkworm Demon Lord likely met an unfortunate end.
Such precious items, waited upon for a million years, requiring the use of countless precious medicines and the exchange of countless bodies, only to arrive at this day. Such a grand opportunity, how could it be easily relinquished.
