"Whoever dares to harm my Great Han!"
"Kill!"
A roar, extremely deep and resonant, like thunder, exploded in the heavens and earth, centered on the city of Chang'an, covering the entire Great Han territory. The sound was like a bell, instantly shattering the dark clouds that hung over various regions.
Bright sunlight shone upon the Great Han’s domain, and billions of people felt as if they were bathed in a spring breeze!
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
"Boom!!"
Far out at sea, the bodies of Ao Qing, Ao Bing, and Ao Hai, three thousand-zhang Azure Green Cloud Tortoise Dragons, suddenly felt as if struck by lightning. Cracks split open across their bodies, and large amounts of dragon blood poured out, nurturing the sea for several miles around.
Countless sea beasts in the deep sea madly devoured the dragon's blood.
At this moment, Ao Qing, who had intended to teach the Heavenly Yue martial artists a lesson, felt his vital energy surge violently within him. It was as if he were being controlled by some supreme expert; with just a slight exertion of force from that expert, their three bodies would shatter in an instant, turning into meat paste.
The words, "Whoever dares to harm my Great Han!"
"Kill!"
pierced the ears of the three. Ao Qing's eyes were filled with terror, losing their clarity. Looking towards the source of the sound deep within Heavenly Yue, his face was horrified. A place that could give birth to Human King’s radiance could not possibly be ordinary.
"Pfft!"
Xie Feng spat out a mouthful of blood. His ears felt as if they had been severely struck, and two streams of blood shot out like arrows from a bow.
"Buzz~~"
"Buzz~~"
His ears roared. Xie Feng looked at the old man who was stepping out of the illustrated scroll, his eyes filled with shock and fear.
This Great Han already surpassed the foundation of an ordinary dynasty. With this old man present, Great Han was destined to stand at the pinnacle of imperial dynasties.
Blood vessels began to rupture. Xie Feng struggled to circulate his vital energy, maintaining the flow of blood within his body and clinging to the hope of survival.
His limbs were completely beyond his control. Escape was hopeless; he could only prolong his suffering!
"Boom!!"
"Stomp!!"
"Stomp!!"
An old man, clad in golden chainmail, his face ruddy and his spirit full of vigor, with white hair and a flowing silver beard, held a Phoenix Beak Saber in his hand. On his back was a Myriad Stone Bow crafted from purple sandalwood, identical to the portrait in the illustrated scroll of the Five Tiger Generals.
With a single Phoenix Beak Saber, the torn void sparked with layers of fire. With every step he took, the heavens of Heavenly Yue shook as if the sky were collapsing, as if unable to bear the immense pressure.
"Whoosh!"
The Phoenix Beak Saber was instantly held point-down by Huang Zhong!
"Boom!!"
A vast chasm, glowing with layers of dark shadow, accompanied by a deafening roar, covered the entire sky above Heavenly Yue.
"Boom!!"
"Crack!!"
Streams of colossal lightning ferociously crisscrossed the dark spatial rift. A vast, ominous aura swept through the entire Heavenly Yue like a tide from the old man's body.
"That..."
"What in the world is happening..."
Ao Qing, suffering a fate worse than death on the sea miles away, his eyes filled with terror, saw in his pupils a gigantic spatial chasm stretching across the heavens. Terrifying divine thunder intertwined, as if it could tear a corner of the sky in the next moment.
"Who are you?"
Xie Feng weakly looked at the old man emerging from the illustrated scroll. He appeared ancient, yet possessed a terrifying power utterly unrelated to his appearance. That saber strike, seemingly a casual swing, unleashed such a surge of vital energy that it far surpassed the Spirit Venerable realm.
Up to this point, the old man had not made a single move against him, yet the fluctuations of vital energy with his every movement had nearly killed him.
Within the entire Saint Yuan Imperial Dynasty, only the Saint Yuan Human Emperor could possess such power. Perhaps even the Saint Yuan Human Emperor would not be a match for this old man’s single move.
"Great Han's Grand General, Huang Zhong!"
A thunderous shout echoed in all directions.
Countless people on the viewing platform, gazing at the imposing old man with white hair and a flowing silver beard in the void, all knelt on the ground.
Huang Zhong's eyes were like piercing divine dragons striking the heavens!
In an instant, the void collapsed, the sun and moon seemed to reverse, and two torrents of blood-red light shot out from Huang Zhong's eyes. A blood-red killing aura instantly engulfed the firmament.
"Bang!"
"Pfft!!"
Xie Feng’s face contorted in horror as his chest exploded. His bare white bones were covered in dense, cracking fissures!
"Pfft!!"
Not a patch of Xie Feng's skin remained intact. It was as if he had been flayed, his flesh and blood a bloody mess.
The two blood-red beams of light, like cleaving blades of blood-light, pierced directly into Xie Feng, causing his body to explode in the void and disperse into a mist of blood above the royal palace. Blood splattered, and drop after drop fell onto the ground, staining the sacrificial altar a deep crimson.
Great Han ascended to the status of a dynasty, using the blood of a Spirit Venerable to forge the rivers and mountains of Great Han!!
Bi Xi's face turned pale, and he murmured softly, "Your Majesty, Great Han is more than enough for Heavenly Yue!!"
With mere beams of light, he swept across the four directions, and a high-ranking Spirit Venerable expert instantly turned into a bloody mist, unable to even raise his saber.
Huang Zhong, with white hair and a flowing silver beard, stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed. In a moment, he spanned more than half of Heavenly Yue, observing three Heavenly Azure Green Cloud Tortoise Dragons, resembling giant worms, struggling weakly on the sea surface.
A smile played on Huang Zhong's lips. With a step, he vanished from above the royal palace, appearing in an instant above Ao Qing.
"M-my lord, we did not know of your presence. We have disturbed you, and we deserve death! We deserve death!"
Ao Qing looked at the old man who was like a god and a demon. At the moment Xie Feng died, he, miles away, had vaguely sensed a powerful surge of vital energy erupting deep within Heavenly Yue.
Gazing at the old man clad in golden chainmail once more, Ao Qing had roughly pieced together the situation. It was likely that the Spirit Venerable expert who had intruded into Heavenly Yue had been completely annihilated.
"Gulp!!"
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Ao Qing reverted to his human form and knelt on the ground, his head smashing deeply into the sea.
At this moment, the sea surface was sealed by Huang Zhong's vital energy, becoming incredibly hard. In just a few impacts, his forehead was already a bloody mess.
"Are you willing to join my Great Han?"
Huang Zhong looked at Ao Qing and said softly. He was merely a temporary visitor to this world and could not remain long. Great Han had just ascended to the status of a dynasty, and they only had four Spirit Transcendent beings. Incorporating these three into Great Han would be an undeniable source of strength.
"We are willing, my lord! We, the Heavenly Azure Green Cloud Tortoise Dragons, are willing to submit and pledge allegiance to Great Han!"
"Good!"
Huang Zhong extended his palm and directly grasped the three of them. They transformed back into their true forms, one foot long and resembling long snakes.
With a single step, he was in front of Yang Hao in the blink of an eye.
"Your subject pays respects to the Human King!"
Huang Zhong knelt down with a resounding thud.
"Old general, please rise. You have worked hard this time!"
Yang Hao raised his hand, signaling Huang Zhong to stand.
Huang Zhong extended his palm, and three dragon shadows instantly appeared, each emanating a strong aura of blood qi and extremely dense vital energy. Su Dan Novel Network
"That is... the Dragon Race!"
Bi Xi looked at Ao Qing and the other two in disbelief.
