Liang Hongyu led thousands of soldiers, their footsteps echoing in the void as drums beat, fueling their morale. Their fighting spirit grew, and the battlefield was firmly under the control of the White Tiger Legion.
Several hours later, the sounds of slaughter began to wane. Approximately fifty thousand White Tiger soldiers remained standing.
"Clang!"
Er Zhu Rong drew the long sword from his waist and pointed it directly towards the northwest. "Heng Tian Palace, depart!"
...
"This should be the territory of the Great Han Divine Dynasty. The national destiny nurtured by a divine dynasty, though not as profound as that of the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty or the Black Water Immortal Dynasty, is comparable to the national destiny of the three great immortal dynasties of the Western Frontier!"
"We've been rather negligent regarding the changes in the Western Frontier's situation!"
Above a city in Lingzhou, Great Han Divine Dynasty, several men emerged from the void. One of them looked down at the city below, sensing the spiritual energy and national destiny flowing through the air, and said with some surprise.
"This Western Frontier has changed considerably. After the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin incident concluded, our four clans have paid little attention to this land!"
After a brief inspection, several beings cast their gazes towards the direction of Chang'an City for a long time. Then, with a shift of their footsteps, they tore through the void once more, entering it and disappearing from this world.
...
Within the Imperial Study of the Great Han Chang'an City's imperial palace.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Dian Wei, in the sealed land, has slain the peerless prodigy of the Chu family, Chu Fan!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the heroes Yang Youji and Long Ju, in the sealed land, have slain several supreme beings!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Li Tian Si Legion and the White Tiger Legion have achieved a great victory in the west of Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty, annihilating all western forces!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for obtaining three hundred million slaughter points. The total slaughter points under the host now amount to six hundred million!"
"A great victory in the west! Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty's western forces have been completely lost. The army can now enter the western gate and awe Heng Tian Palace!"
"The day of Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty's destruction is not far off!"
Yang Hao, while perusing the sage's book written by Zi Yi, nodded with satisfaction.
"Father Emperor, what are you talking about? Read properly!"
Zi Yi, who was writing, suddenly pouted and glared at Yang Hao with annoyance. Yang Hao managed a wry smile. "Alright, alright!"
Yang Hao read for a while, then stood up, preparing to calculate how to use the slaughter points to summon several peerless heroes. Suddenly, in the heartland of Lingzhou to the east, he detected several powerful auras.
"Beings from the Hong family?"
Yang Hao lowered his gaze. At this time, the only force that would still bother with the affairs of the Western Frontier was likely the Hong family behind Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty.
"They've vanished?"
After several breaths, Yang Hao severed his connection to the auras of these beings. Sensing the last flow of energy, Yang Hao put down the paper and walked out of the Imperial Study.
"Wei Zhongxian, summon Zhe Bie!"
"By your decree!"
Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully and walked out of the palace.
The three human heroes at the realm of minor Heavenly Venerate, Zhe Bie, Zhang Hao, and Deng Qiang, who had been summoned earlier, had, three days prior, accompanied Consort Yun and Yun Shan to the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, preparing for the Great Han Divine Dynasty's expansion northwards into Youzhou.
Currently, within the entire Chang'an City, or even the Great Han Divine Dynasty, Zhe Bie was the only human hero at the realm of minor Heavenly Venerate.
Yang Hao looked down at the Xuanyuan Sword at his waist. After thirty years of development and layered system enhancements, he was capable of crossing three major realms to unleash a powerful strike.
"Hummm!!"
Ten divine fires bloomed, and ten divine beasts sat in the center of the divine fires, continuously exhaling divine power.
"Xuanyuan Sword, unbloodied for decades!!"
Yang Hao caressed the Xuanyuan Sword and said softly.
Three hours later, he stood before the gate of the Xuanzheng Hall, with Wei Zhongxian and Zhe Bie closely by his side.
Yang Hao looked up, gazing towards a point three hundred li east of Chang'an City. His eyes swept across the area, his imperial aura enveloping the surroundings, nine dragons roaring, and golden light filling the sky!
"What terrifying imperial aura!"
In the void three hundred li from Chang'an City, a figure emerged from nothingness. Before he could scan his surroundings, a golden light swept past him. This single golden light shattered several of his divine powers.
Nine dragons roared in the void!
Divine light ten thousand zhang high!
"Who?"
"Where did such terrifying imperial aura come from!"
Following that, another figure emerged from the void, his expression astonished.
Swish, swish!!
A total of three figures emerged in succession, countless terrifying divine powers raging in the void, devouring the imperial aura that lingered around them.
After a full dozens of breaths, the terrifying imperial aura was finally consumed. Yang Hao, within the Great Han and empowered by the Nine Cauldrons, possessed an extremely potent imperial aura. Five divine powers in the void sealed the void. Only then did the nine dragons dissipate, and the void stabilized inch by inch, the golden light receding!
The leading being frowned, looking at Chang'an City ahead, and pondered for a long time, his figure hesitating.
"It's not without reason that the Great Han Divine Dynasty can suppress Heng Tian Immortal Dynasty. The elder Hong Xiu of the main lineage mysteriously died in the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin years ago, and it's rumored to be inextricably linked to this Great Han Divine Dynasty."
"If we enter Chang'an, we must act swiftly. It's unknown if this Yang Hao still possesses that mysterious and terrifying scroll. Be extremely cautious."
The leading being said cautiously.
"Caution is indeed paramount. Before the Blood Sea Suspended Coffin incident, the Great Han being Guan Yu produced a talisman that crushed the head of Lord Candle Dragon. If you ask me, the main lineage didn't investigate thoroughly at the time, possibly due to the obstruction of the Wang family and the four clans, but also because of the mystery of this Great Han Divine Dynasty. A Great Han Divine Dynasty that can produce such a scroll must have other backup plans."
A burly man from not far away entered, scanned the surrounding void, and with a reach of his hand, his divine power at the Great Heavenly Venerate realm directly locked onto the sky tens of miles away. His divine power manifested externally, like a spiderweb, sealing it off!
As if with a gentle squeeze of that palm, the sky tens of miles away could be instantly pulled down!
"Well said! Everyone be careful!"
"Although we five are at the Great Heavenly Venerate realm, we cannot be careless!" The leading being nodded solemnly.
"Rest assured."
The other few nodded in unison.
"Since that is the case."
The leading being turned around and said, "Let's act. Overthrow this divine dynasty and shatter the ancestral temples and national artifacts of the human race!"
As he spoke, the five figures stepped forward. In less than a breath, they were standing outside the city gate of Chang'an. With a hum, several defensive arrays intertwined with golden dragons rose from the ground. Accompanied by clanging sounds, layers of bronze divine light surged outwards, gradually covering the several defensive arrays hovering above Chang'an City. At this moment, the defensive arrays were incredibly stable.
"Impressive. This human formation is comparable to the defensive formations of the Black Water Immortal Dynasty!"
The leading being looked at this scene with some surprise. He reached out and grasped the sky tens of miles above his head, pulling it down with a fierce tug. The sky collapsed, and the sky he held transformed into a transparent long spear, carrying an invincible and terrifying divine might, and hurled down towards Chang'an City!
