"What is happening?"
Dian Wei gazed at the shattered firmament. Suddenly, a colossal hand emerged from the void, crushing hundreds of Supreme Beings. Those who had gathered from all directions, the Supremes who had emerged alive from the sealed land, each a prodigy, were reduced to bloody mist by this terrifying giant hand.
"It seems the four great families of Jiangzuo have obtained it!"
Wang Zhuo, his face pale, watched this scene. The figures flickering above the void appeared like immortals before these Supremes.
"All of you should leave this place of trouble as soon as possible. Farewell!"
Wang Zhuo said to Dian Wei and the other three, then charged out of Undying City towards the battle in the void. At this moment, his long-suppressed cultivation erupted, and before the watchful eyes of Dian Wei and the others, he directly ascended to the Supreme Profound Sovereign realm, charging towards the zenith of the heavens with terrifying divine power.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Three golden lights shot into the sky. Dian Wei, Yang Youji, and Long Ju instantly broke through four minor realms, reaching the fifth layer of Lesser Celestial Sovereign.
"What?"
Xia Xinyu's expression changed. Looking at Dian Wei and the other two she had been with for so long, she was utterly shocked. Wang Zhuo, like her, was a reincarnated being, and breaking through several major realms to reach Supreme Profound Sovereign was a natural progression. But Dian Wei and the other two had broken through four minor realms in a single breath, and they had only consumed Celestial Sovereign Pills for a few days.
"Miss Xia, what His Majesty instructed us to do has been accomplished. We three shall take our leave now!"
Long Ju bowed respectfully and said.
"Let's go. This place is probably no longer safe. Even a Supreme Profound Sovereign could not guarantee their life here. Let's go!"
Xia Xinyu opened her hand, shattering a patch of void. A feather emitting five-colored radiant light emerged and hovered in the void: "Go, this feather can send you back to Xijiang within a day!"
"Thank you!"
With that, the three stepped onto the feather and entered the void. Sudancdn.com
"This era is about to end. Who will be able to withstand the relentless storms in the long river of history?"
......
On January 8th of the 40th year of the Great Han, the sealed land ended. The Wang, Zhan, Jian, and Gu families failed to stop the Hong family and its four allied clans. The primordial spirit of the Candle Dragon was successfully unsealed and emerged.
The eight great families of Zhongzhou engaged in fierce battles. Supreme Profound Sovereigns roamed the land, and even Creation Profound Sovereigns locked down the heavens and earth at the zenith of the firmament. This war, centered around Undying City, swept across all 162 Dao Provinces of Vermilion Bird City within a single day. Countless forces were annihilated, and several Dao Provinces shattered.
The Gu Long Sculpture forces of Vermilion Bird City directly vanished from the river of history, becoming the first supreme force to sink in this chaotic era.
On January 15th of the 40th year of the Great Han, a bloody battle erupted in the Zhongzhou region, becoming the second battlefield after Undying City in East Yao. The eight great families of Zhongzhou fought ceaselessly, plunging into chaos. Countless forces were struck with terror, wavering precariously.
On January 16th of the 40th year of the Great Han, a rain of blood fell across the Three Thousand Dao Provinces, covering every corner. Countless beings were bewildered.
The blood rain continued for several days, followed by a shocking secret that echoed throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
Several supreme giants from the eight great families of Zhongzhou had fallen, and this phenomenon of continuous blood rain was the world's tribute to their demise.
On January 20th of the 40th year of the Great Han, the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, the Fallen Immortal Dynasty, the White Tiger Pavilion, and the Azure Dragon Palace, who had allied with the Hong family's four clans, declared their participation in the war.
The Fallen Immortal Dynasty and the White Tiger Pavilion dispatched their troops simultaneously, launching an assault on the Xuanwu Hall, which had surrendered to the Wang family's four clans.
The Azure Dragon Palace turned its attention to the Northern Youyun Clan Immortal Dynasty. As for the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty, it sent out an army of five million, advancing towards Nanshan City, a southern border of the Great Han Divine Dynasty.
A bloody conflict initiated by the eight great families of Zhongzhou was escalating, gradually engulfing the entire plane of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
......
"What is the attitude of the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty?"
In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Great Han Chang'an City Imperial Palace, officials stood on either side. The twelve-stringed crown swayed, obscuring Yang Hao's face, exuding a mysterious and supreme authority.
"Reporting to the Divine Emperor, the Human Realm, in alliance with the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty, has declared war on the Hong family's four clans. Several days ago, they assembled an army of six million and marched out from the Human Realm to meet the Fallen Immortal Dynasty and the White Tiger Pavilion at Xuanwu Hall,"
Mao Xiang, the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, said respectfully in a deep voice. The Embroidered Uniform Guard, after nearly a year of deep infiltration, had spies in every corner of the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.
"In that case, where is Geng Yan!"
Yang Hao's voice boomed like a dragon's roar. The expressions of the officials instantly turned solemn. Some officials' eyelids twitched frantically. It was coming! The Divine Emperor was finally going to send troops to participate in this great war!
Who could evade the rapidly changing tides of this chaotic era!
"This minister is here!"
Geng Yan, clad in Azure Dragon armor, stepped forward from the ranks of military officials. He had already been assigned to the Azure Dragon Legion but did not yet hold a formal post.
"I hereby appoint Geng Yan as General Jianwei, to immediately proceed to the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, take command of the Yun Clan's troops, and annihilate the Azure Dragon Palace!"
"This minister obeys the decree!"
Geng Yan bowed deeply, accepted the general's token from Wei Zhongxian, and turned to leave Xuanzheng Hall. He gestured, and a void channel opened in the rice granary. In half an hour, he traveled from Xijiang Province in the Three Thousand Dao Provinces to Yun Chi City, the capital of the Northern Youyun Clan Immortal Dynasty, where Zhang Hao was already waiting quietly.
"Xian Zhen!"
After Geng Yan withdrew, Yang Hao turned his gaze to Xian Zhen, the commander of the Xuanwu Legion, his eyes flashing, unable to conceal his battle intent and killing intent.
"Divine Emperor!"
Xian Zhen stepped forward, the commander's seal of the Xuanwu Legion hanging from his waist, and layers of black divine light covering his entire armor.
"Lead the Xuanwu Legion out of Nanshan City immediately to confront the Blackwater Immortal Dynasty's army. I want to see news of the annihilation of these five million troops within three days!"
"The battlefield is distant, so you may consolidate your gains."
"This minister obeys the decree!"
Xian Zhen received the decree and stepped down. Yang Hao looked at the officials in the hall and slowly rose, saying, "The bloody battle in the Zhongzhou region has erupted. The eight great families are no longer concerned with other matters. Our Great Han should seize this opportunity to rapidly annex territory and strengthen our power."
"Where are Wei Xiaokuan, Fu Cunshan, Zhebie, Zhang Liao, Gao Ying, Meng Tian, and Gao Xianzhi!"
Yang Hao shouted. Nine dragons emerged, and divine light clashed in Xuanzheng Hall!
"This minister is here!"
Wei Xiaokuan, Fu Cunshan, and the other seven heroes stepped forward, all commanders of their respective legions.
"You will lead the armies under your command to continue garrisoning the border strongholds and strictly guard against the offensives of the Jiangzuo family, the Hong family, and the Hun family!"
"This minister obeys the decree!"
"Li Si!"
Yang Hao looked at Li Si, the head of the officials, and said softly, "You are to coordinate with all departments, arrange the needs of each department uniformly, and lead the ministers of the Military Affairs Department to grasp the changing situation, seeking an advantage for our Great Han!"
"Divine Emperor, rest assured!"
Li Si stroked his beard and smiled slightly, showing no sign of tension.
"If there are matters to report, present them. If there are no matters, the court is adjourned!"
Half an hour later, Wei Zhongxian scanned the officials and shouted.
