No human of the Great Han had reached the Golden Immortal realm. Gan Jiang, in order to allow these heroes to wield peerless immortal treasures, had enacted several prohibitions. Those at the Profound Immortal realm could use them under these restrictions, or forcibly break them for a single use per month, though doing so would damage their physical bodies.
The warship surged forward. Zheng Success stood at the prow, his eyes blazing with battle intent. Not far away, Yu Dayou approached, his expression grave.
"General Yu!"
Sensing the fluctuation of immortal energy, Zheng Success turned and offered a solemn salute to Yu Dayou, who had fought for the Great Ming his entire life.
However, before Zheng Success could bow, Yu Dayou cupped his hands and lifted him. "Commander, in my past life, I fought to the death for the Great Ming. I owe no more debt to the Great Ming's empire. In this life, Yu Dayou is willing to follow Commander and conquer the four directions for the Great Han across the Boundary Sea!"
"This subordinate, Yu Dayou, pays his respects to Commander!"
"General Yu, please rise!"
Zheng Success grasped Yu Dayou's hands and laughed heartily. In the distance, Han Shizhong, Liang Hongyu, and Zhang Dingbian approached.
"This subordinate pays his respects to Commander!"
The three bowed solemnly, their expressions stern.
"Generals!"
Zheng Success carefully observed the three and returned their salute with gravitas.
After a long while, 400,000 troops, aboard thirty ordinary immortal treasure warships and twenty peerless immortal treasure warships, departed from the port of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty. Led by Zheng Success, they sailed towards the depths of the Boundary Sea.
...
"What!"
"The Great Han Immortal Dynasty dares to encroach upon my territory!"
The core of the Burial Sect was an area called Undying Peak. Jiang Xing sat cross-legged beside a blood pool, within which three corpses were also seated, continuously nourished by the yin energy of the pool.
"Yes, Sect Master. In a single day, the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's White Tiger Legion, like a sharp sword, has struck directly towards our Undying Peak. Furthermore, the Great Han Immortal Dynasty possesses a navy that relentlessly harasses our eastern coast."
Nearby, a disciple of the Burial Sect reported cautiously, his eyes filled with terror. Around him, numerous corpses were neatly arranged.
"Well done, Great Han Immortal Dynasty."
"I originally thought you would clash with the Xuan Sect first, allowing me to gather corpses and nourish my puppets. I never expected you to turn your spearhead towards me! Do you truly believe that because I was suppressed by that boy Nan Tianxun and my foundation is unstable, you can toy with me!"
"Rise!"
*Clang, clang...*
Jiang Xing shook his magic bell. From the blood pool and throughout Undying Peak, countless corpses crawled forth. The most powerful were the three corpses within the blood pool, all at the peak Profound Immortal realm.
"Ultimately, it's still a bit short of evolving into immortal-grade puppets, but they are more than enough to deal with a Great Han Immortal Dynasty!"
...
"The Great Han Immortal Dynasty, how dare you be so audacious! To defy the will of our Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty's Emperor!"
"If you do not hand over the remnants of the Nine Dragon Sect! Then we shall utterly destroy your Great Han Immortal Dynasty!"
"Array the troops! Encircle the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's forces!"
Above the southwestern Boundary Sea of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, Duan Ganbai, the King of Jinxi of the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty, his face ice-cold. After the incident with Long Qianning, he had been impeached by numerous ministers in the court. Now, Guan Qiu wounding Nan Tianqingxin had further enraged the Emperor. His own standing in the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty depended on this battle!
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Behind him, two Golden Immortal generals respectfully saluted, their gazes fixed on the distant dozens of warships bearing the banner of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
With three Golden Immortal powerhouses leading an army of 500,000, Duan Ganbai was capable of sweeping through the Heavenly Treasure Realm. A mere Great Han Immortal Dynasty was as easy to crush as a handful of dirt! Sudan Novel Network
*Boom!*
Dozens of warships, under the command of the two Golden Immortal generals, interlocked in an orderly fashion, leaving no gaps. The seawater churned with ripples pushed by the warships. 500,000 troops drew their bows and nocked arrows, their volleys streaked with flames, piercing towards the Yinglong Legion.
"Yinglong Legion, battle!"
Zheng Success, observing the carpet of fire streaking across the sky before him, immediately gave the order.
*Boom!*
Dozens of warships collided. The Boundary Sea instantly vibrated. Waves rose a hundred feet high. As the warships clashed, Duan Ganbai was shocked to find that the small Great Han Immortal Dynasty possessed peerless immortal treasure warships. These were traversal-type immortal treasures, unlike those that controlled combat and defense. Even those whose cultivation had not reached the Golden Immortal realm could operate them with ease.
The terrifying Yinglong Array coalesced. With a sweep of its wings, it unleashed thunderous blasts, filling the air with killing intent that enveloped all the Southern Heaven Immortal Dynasty's warships. Flames illuminated the turbulent Boundary Sea!
"Kill! Leave none alive!"
The two Golden Immortal generals roared ferociously. One of them brandished a war banner, and instantly, blue immortal energy condensed into a long halberd, its sharp edge seeming to cleave the very sky!
The weapon held by the general waving the banner merged with the long halberd formed by the great array, emitting a terrifying divine radiance!
The long halberd obscured the vast expanse of flames and even suppressed the roaring sound of the colliding warships!
"To dare face the number one overlord of the Nine Realms with mere partial inheritances from the Heavenly Treasure Sect! You court death!"
The general waved the banner, raising his weapon. His entire body floated barely a foot above the deck.
*Boom!*
The long halberd in the void trembled, and boundless divine light erupted from the general's physical body!
"Kill!"
Hundreds of thousands of Southern Heaven soldiers roared in unison, their collective blood essence surging into the blue long halberd in the void, adding a hint of chilling cold to its hue!
...
"Is this the secret technique for manipulating corpses?"
In the heart of the Burial Cloud Realm, Er Zhu Rong gazed at the vast, dust-raising horde of corpses before him. Although they could not fly, these soulless husks felt no pain and never tired.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The earth rumbled and countless lands cracked open. Corpses emerged from the ground. Particularly powerful were the three corpses surrounding Jiang Xing at the rear of the undead army, shrouded in a sanguine aura.
"What has Jiang Xing done in the Nine Realms!"
Among the three corpses beside Jiang Xing, two were clad in imperial robes, their faces majestic, with faint traces of kingly aura flowing from them.
"Regarding General Zhou Yu, has everything been arranged?" Er Zhu Rong frowned.
"Reporting to Commander, arrangements are complete. General Zhou Yu, leading the First Army of Yinglong, has already landed and is heading towards Undying Peak," Zhan Deli reported solemnly.
"Good! These beings have been dead for who knows how many years. Dust to dust, earth to earth. Let my White Tiger Legion send them on their way!"
"Kill!"
Er Zhu Rong stood in the void. The banner of the White Tiger Legion in his hand suddenly vibrated, and he roared a command. Instantly, the million-strong White Tiger Legion charged out!
"Kill!"
Within the territory of the Burial Cloud Realm, battle cries suddenly erupted into the sky, and white, ferocious qi enveloped the endless horde of corpses!
