Half a day later, the boon bestowed by Xu Chuan finally concluded.
The grand cauldron vanished, its energy, rules, and soul power all absorbed, leaving only traces that dissipated into the heavens and earth.
The battlefield remained the same, and the Undying Volcano was still the Undying Volcano.
The only difference was that everything related to the Demon Race had completely disappeared.
Were it not for the lingering traces of battle, one would hardly believe that billions of demons had once appeared here.
Beyond that, the participants in this battle had all seen their strength significantly improved.
And their foundations had been reinforced.
With their strength changed, their hearts had also changed.
The moment the opportunity dissipated, everyone present simultaneously opened their eyes.
Among the warriors of the Taiyi Holy Land, cheers were first heard: "His Highness's divine might is supreme!"
Whether elders or disciples, regardless of their cultivation level, all warriors of the Taiyi Holy Land looked up at Xu Chuan, offering him their highest reverence.
And in the next moment, the tribesmen of the Undying Volcano reacted, not to be outdone, and shouted in unison.
"His Highness's divine might is supreme!"
Cheers erupted one after another, shaking the heavens and earth.
Like waves, rising higher and higher, they pulled the atmosphere to its zenith!
Among them, Feng Qingyang, in particular, raised his arms and shouted, becoming the number one fanboy!
Through this fortuitous encounter, he had successfully broken through to the peak of the Half-Emperor realm.
And with a wisp of Chaos Origin bestowed by Xu Chuan in his hand, breaking through to the Emperor Realm was as good as certain.
All of this today was something he had never even dared to imagine.
Not long ago, he was just a youth who had just entered the Heavenly King realm.
Although he was known as the number one genius of the Undying Volcano, that was merely the perspective of a frog in a well.
During his time following Xu Chuan, he had witnessed far too many people more talented than himself.
Yet, these very individuals had failed to break through to the peak of the Half-Emperor realm, let alone the Emperor Realm.
But he could!
All of this was thanks to Xu Chuan!
It was his wholehearted pursuit of His Highness Xu Chuan that had brought about all of this today!
This decision was the most brilliant one he had ever made in his life.
Just as everyone was immersed in joy, Xu Chuan's voice reached all their ears: "Everyone, listen to my command!"
"Follow me, and together, we shall proceed to the Great Desolation Dynasty and seize this last territory of the Southern Domain, making the entire Southern Domain completely ours, belonging to the Taiyi Holy Land!"
"Today, this will be the first fire of the Taiyi Holy Land's ascent to the pinnacle of Xuan Tian!"
"I hope that everyone will exert one hundred and twenty percent of their strength to serve the Holy Land!"
At this moment, Xu Chuan's ambition was completely revealed, laid bare for all to see.
Everyone present felt Xu Chuan's determination to conquer Xuan Tian.
Simultaneously, they became even more excited.
Xu Chuan had the strength to say such words!
They had all witnessed it with their own eyes!
In the next moment, the entire Undying Volcano once again erupted with incredible cheers and shouts.
It was as if they were celebrating Xu Chuan's ambition, celebrating the rise of the Taiyi Holy Land.
...
Great Desolation Dynasty.
Within the imperial palace, Huang Xingyue's face was ashen, cold sweat trickling down her forehead.
She could never have dreamed that Xu Chuan, whom she had once considered an ant, would now reach this point.
The scene of Xu Chuan killing Tian Zhe before her eyes lingered, refusing to fade.
Too powerful!
She could not muster the slightest will to resist.
Even just a glance at the scene had transformed into a nightmare in her heart.
At the same time, a growing unease filled her.
She had not forgotten how she had dealt with Xu Chuan in the past.
To put it politely, she had demanded the inheritance that belonged to her family. To put it bluntly, she had resorted to forceful seizure.
Snatching opportunities was a profound obstruction to one's path!
It was an immense enmity, to say the least.
She dared not imagine how she would face him if Xu Chuan came seeking revenge.
She did not believe that she, let alone the Great Desolation Dynasty, possessed the strength to fight against him!
Xu Chuan was not a demon; the dynasty's imperial fortune array would be of no use against him.
Even if it were useful, it would by no means be able to withstand him.
"What should I do?"
Her face contorted with fear, her lips trembling as she murmured.
If she could go back in time, she would absolutely never have done so.
The inheritance she had taken from Xu Chuan had not only failed to save her father but had also hastened his demise.
Furthermore, it had brought such a powerful enemy to the Great Desolation Dynasty.
However, there was no such thing as medicine for regret in this world.
One must accept the consequences of their mistakes.
But, the more she feared something, the more it happened.
Before she could even devise a way to resolve this crisis, a servant rushed in.
His face was filled with anxiety, disregarding all propriety and decency.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, scouts have reported that the being who slew the demon race's supreme powerhouse beyond the dynasty's borders is leading a vast army of warriors towards the dynasty."
"That army is immensely powerful, with a terrifying aura; they are almost all beings above the Heaven-Piercing realm."
"It seems they intend to..."
He dared not continue speaking, but it was clear to anyone with eyes what their intentions were.
The Great Desolation Dynasty was truly at a moment of life and death.
It was precisely because of this that he appeared so anxious.
Hearing the servant's words, Huang Xingyue's delicate body trembled, and the look of terror on her face intensified.
She had anticipated this day.
But she had never imagined that this day would come so quickly!
She had no time to prepare at all.
She suppressed her inner fear, calmed her emotions, and spoke, "Quickly summon all the strong individuals and the great army of our court, and accompany me to meet the enemy!"
She absolutely could not allow them to enter the imperial domain.
Otherwise, she would have no chance at all.
Furthermore, she had prepared for the worst-case scenario.
Even if she were to die, she would protect the Great Desolation Dynasty.
With her conviction firm, she walked out of the palace, preparing to gather her subordinates to face the enemy.
...
And at this moment, Xu Chuan, leading this vast army of warriors, was steadily approaching the Great Desolation Dynasty.
"Your Highness, the Great Desolation Dynasty is just ahead. What should we do?" Feng Qingyang asked excitedly.
Taking over the Great Desolation Dynasty, such an epic feat could only be accomplished by Xu Chuan.
Little did he know that the Undying Volcano and the Great Desolation Dynasty had been neighbors for countless years, yet they had always been unable to overcome each other.
Now, all of it would fall under the jurisdiction of the Taiyi Holy Land.
"When we reach the border, we will wait. Do not attack yet."
"This time, our sole aim is to gain control of the Great Desolation Dynasty. If we can avoid killing, we will not kill."
"Especially the mortals. Hengyu, pay close attention to protecting them. Try not to involve the mortals!" Xu Chuan commanded.
He was not a bloodthirsty person.
His expedition to the Great Desolation Dynasty this time, besides expanding the territory of the Taiyi Holy Land, was also largely for revenge for the past.
If the news of him being bullied by a woman were to spread, where would he be able to save face?
"Yes, Your Highness!" Du Hengyu nodded in agreement.
His strength had also significantly increased. It could be said that he was only a wisp of Chaos Origin away from the Emperor Realm.
Protecting mortals was an easy task for him.
