The first month of the fortieth year of the Great Han.
The Zhulu Immortal Dynasty has been annihilated!
Zhebie, the commander of the Kui Niu Legion of the Great Han Divine Dynasty, led his army to pressure the Zhulu border. With just a few arrows, he suppressed a million-strong army. In this battle, Zhebie even deployed the Twelve Golden Figures that were suppressed in the Xuanzheng Hall plaza!
Once the Twelve Golden Figures were unleashed, they easily subdued Xianyu, the Immortal Emperor of Zhulu. Before the battle even commenced, the Immortal Emperor perished!
With Xianyu dead, the three million strong army surrendered to the Great Han. The Kui Niu Legion left behind fifty thousand soldiers to incorporate the army one by one. The remaining hundreds of thousands of soldiers, under Zhebie's command, traveled through the teleportation array and arrived at the imperial capital, Shengcheng, of the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty within days. The National Preceptor, Bu Xing, was already waiting outside the city gates!
"General Zhe, this old man has been waiting for a long time. Here are the keys to the treasury and the deployment map of the border troops!"
After handing over all the affairs, Bu Xing, citing his advanced age and declining vitality, declined Zhebie's invitation to serve in the court and returned to Zhulu City with a few followers.
After taking control of Shengcheng, Zhebie dispatched his troops in three directions, heading towards the long national border that met the Heishui Immortal Dynasty!
A week later, over a hundred Dao Provinces of the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty had fallen under the Great Han's territory!
Western Frontier!
This region, where the Qingxuan Immortal Dynasty, Zhulu Immortal Dynasty, and Hengtian Immortal Dynasty held sway, had all been suppressed by Yang Hao one by one within a few months!
Now, the Great Han occupied six hundred and eighty-seven Dao Provinces in the Western Frontier, becoming its overlord!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Zhebie, a hero of the Great Han, for killing three Lesser Heavenly Venerate beings!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Twelve Golden Figures, national weapons of the Great Han, for suppressing three Lesser Heavenly Venerate beings!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Kui Niu Legion has absorbed three million soldiers and suppressed the imperial capital, Shengcheng, of the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Zhulu Immortal Dynasty has been annihilated, and over a hundred Dao Provinces of Zhulu have become territories of the Great Han!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for obtaining forty-four million points of Slaughter Value and one billion points of Fortune and Merit Value!"
"Ding! Fortune Nine Cauldrons, Nine Dragon Imperial Seal, Xuanyuan Sword, and Heavenly Emperor Divine Tablet have automatically extracted half of the Fortune and Merit Value to consolidate the national destiny!"
"Ding! Reminding the host, Slaughter Value remaining is six hundred and forty-four million points, and Fortune and Merit Value remaining is one point nine billion!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing Main Mission One: Sweep through the Hengtian, Qingxuan, and Zhulu Immortal Dynasties, unifying the Western Frontier. Reward: one Human Talent summon opportunity, unlocking the sixth level of Fortune Nine Cauldrons. The host can use Fortune and Merit Value to step into the Supreme Realm!"
"System, use Fortune and Merit Value to upgrade the Immortal Artifact Nine Cauldrons!"
Great Han, Chang'an City.
Imperial Palace, Study.
Yang Hao sat on the dragon throne and directly commanded the system. With his order, a massive amount of Fortune and Merit Value was instantly deducted by five hundred million. After the Samsara Xuanhuang Pagoda absorbed the Fortune and Merit Value, it directly converted it into national destiny Qi, which instantly poured into the Fortune Nine Cauldrons.
Boom!
"Roar!"
Bronze divine light surged outwards layer by layer, covering the imperial palace, Chang'an, Yuzhou, and even the entire Great Han territory of the Western Frontier. For a moment, a golden five-clawed dragon soared out from the depths of the imperial palace, spewing endless national destiny Qi above Chang'an City. Thunder clapped and raged, continuously striking the wandering golden five-clawed dragon!
The golden five-clawed dragon grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"Hum~~"
Rumble...!
With a deafening roar, the bronze divine light transformed into droplets of spiritual energy, descending upon every corner of the Great Han territory.
Gouges in the earth, caused by sparse spiritual energy, were repaired under the nourishment of the spiritual energy, and on the peaks of mountains, spiritual energy liquefied into white mist.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, the Fortune Nine Cauldrons have been successfully upgraded to level six. The host can use Fortune and Merit Value to enhance their own cultivation!"
"Use Fortune and Merit Value to enhance cultivation!"
"Ding! Successfully deducted four hundred and fifty million points of Fortune and Merit Value. The host's realm will be elevated to the Supreme Realm!"
"Come on!!"
Yang Hao opened his eyes and let out a great shout. Ten divine fires raged, and other divine fires also surged. Along with ten divine beasts, they devoured massive amounts of Fortune and Merit Value. In just a few breaths, Yang Hao's realm quickly reached the peak of quasi-Supreme.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Within Yang Hao's chest, rumbling sounds accompanied by soaring blood Qi coursed wildly through his body. Dense spiritual energy nourished every part of Yang Hao's physique.
Layers of golden light weaved back and forth within Yang Hao's chest!
In the blink of an eye, Yang Hao went from peak quasi-Supreme to the first layer of Supreme. At this moment, all the summoned heroes stiffened. A warm current gently flowed through them, and their divine power doubled.
In the blink of an eye, four minor realms were swiftly passed!
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for successfully stepping into the first layer of Supreme!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through a major realm. Summoned Human Talents will be elevated by four minor realms!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Summoned Human Talents Xian Zhen and Li Siyi have successfully advanced four minor realms, reaching the first layer of Great Heavenly Venerate!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Summoned Human Talents Zhang Zai, Feng Sheng, Nie Zheng, Cao Wei, Zhang Jiao, Li Bai, Fu Youde, Li Jilong, Xuanzang, Xu Chu... Xin Qiji, a total of twenty-four Human Talents, have reached the third layer of Supreme!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Summoned Human Talents Guo Xamao, Fu Censhen, and Er Zhu Rong have reached the fifth layer of Lesser Heavenly Venerate!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, Summoned Human Talents Lu Kang, Qi Jiguang, Han Qinghu, Chen Tang, Gan Ning, Ji Youyu, Xu Huang, Zhou Tai, Gongsun Zan, Fu Hao, Hua Mulan, Liang Hongyu... Zhou Decheng, a total of twenty-eight Human Talents, have broken through the Saint King realm barrier and reached the third layer of Great Saint Realm!"
..."Ding! Reminding the host, Summoned Human Talents Dian Wei, Yang Youji, and Long Ju are blocked by an unknown formation, and their realm advancement has failed!"
"Ding! Reminding the host, Fortune and Merit Value remaining is one billion and fifty million points!"
"System, upgrade the Barracks and the Twelve Golden Figures by one level each!"
Yang Hao stood up, examining his own realm and divine power. He had now stepped into the Supreme Realm, which meant that within the Great Han territory, he could borrow the Xuanyuan Sword and mobilize the Great Han's national destiny Qi. He could overcome three major realms, meaning he could unleash a full-power strike of a Supreme Profound Venerate.
In the Supreme Realm, he could use the power of Samsara to summon Human Talents of the Great Heavenly Venerate realm. At this point, the Great Han Divine Dynasty could be said to be above forces like the Heishui Immortal Dynasty, Fallen Immortal Dynasty, and Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, second only to the giants below the Eight Great Families of the Central Continent.
This step was simple, but to complete Main Mission Two, marching north to Beiyou, south to Nanze, and east to Dongyao, he could reach the Great Heavenly Venerate realm, challenge the Eight Great Families of the Central Continent, and vie for dominion over the three thousand Dao Provinces.
This step was incredibly difficult, at least from the current perspective.
