During the time when the Turkic Yehu had just experienced internal strife, Wang Zhongsi, leading a powerful army, used his might to intimidate them. Wang Zhongsi employed a stratagem of sowing discord, seizing their right wing and returning, causing over a thousand tents of their tribe to come and pay homage in the capital.
In the second year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi again defeated the armies of Nu Gai and the Turks. From then on, the frontiers were stable, and the Turks dared not invade. From this point on, Wang Zhongsi's prestige shook the borderlands!
In the fourth year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi was concurrently appointed as the Military Commissioner and Investigating Envoy of Hedong. A year later, he served as the Prefect of Xiping Commandery, Acting Administrator of Wuwei Commandery, and the Military Commissioner of Hexi and Longyou. Wang Zhongsi bore four kinds of general seals, controlling vast territories and crucial strongholds, all under his command. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, such a position had never been held.
Later, he frequently fought in Qinghai and Jishi, achieving great victories. Soon after, he campaigned against the Tuyuhun in Moli, conquering their entire nation and returning triumphantly.
Wang Zhongsi's meritorious deeds grew, but he fell victim to the machinations of Prime Minister Li Linfu. In the eighth year of Tianbao, Wang Zhongsi died suddenly at the age of forty-five.
"Alas!"
Yang Hao looked at Wang Zhongsi's records and sighed, closing the panel and walking out of the grand hall. Wei Zhongxian, standing by, bowed slightly.
"Issue an imperial decree!"
"In three years, the Great Han Immortal Dynasty shall be promoted to the Great Han Sacred Court!"
"Your command is my honor!"
Wei Zhongxian bowed with excitement. The Sacred Court, it was finally here!
...
Before Danxue Mountain, countless living beings knelt on their knees. The powerful imperial might forced them to submit. The blood accumulated on the ground reflected the peak of the firmament, the immense silhouette of the green ox, and the dazzling, myriad-hued rosy clouds. This great battle had been brewing for nearly a month. Now, with the decisive battle initiated by the Grand Dao Palace, the Zhaoyao Palace, and the Wushan Immortal Court, an Immortal Emperor had finally descended. The Immortal Emperor was exalted, the supreme existence within the Immortal Realm.
With a mere flick of a finger, an entire realm could be annihilated!
"Crimson Star Immortal Emperor!"
Yun Rou unleashed her full Dharmakaya, covering the entire Danxue Mountain and resisting the imperial might of the Crimson Star Immortal Emperor. Even so, on the sky above Danxue Mountain, endless sparks flew. Yun Rou, relying on her Primal Ancestor Dharmakaya to withstand the immense imperial might, had a face as pale as snow, her body drenched in cold sweat, soaking her clothes.
"Master, for a mere bunch of insignificant ants like these, why would the exalted Master need to intervene? This old servant begs permission to destroy Danxue Mountain on your behalf!" The green ox's voice boomed like thunder, its eyes twinkling like stars.
"Granted!" The Crimson Star Immortal Emperor, residing within chaos, uttered a single word that shattered the Primal Ancestor Dharmakaya. Yun Rou's body was directly smashed into the depths of Danxue Mountain. Su Dan Novel Network
"Big Sister!"
Lei Yuan rushed in and helped Yun Rou up. Yun Rou spoke weakly, struggling to even utter words, "Remember... you and I can die... but Yang Ying must not... be harmed!"
"Danxue Mountain, the Phoenix clan!"
The green ox's primordial spirit emerged from its physical body, transforming into a middle-aged man dressed in a green shirt. He looked at Lei Yuan, Huo Luo, Jin Ling, and two other women, licking his lips.
"This old servant has always served at the Immortal Emperor's side in this life! I have never descended to the mortal world. I have heard that the Phoenix clan has two Emperors who traverse the heavens and nine Quasi-Emperors who shake the world, possessing formidable prestige and unparalleled combat power. However, this old servant cannot agree."
BOOM!
The green ox shattered the void, causing the heavenly abyss to crack. Endless chaotic energy surged like a torrent, and as the green ox grasped the void, a black staff, radiating chaotic energy, condensed. The green ox held it firmly in its hand. The black staff unleashed infinite immortal power, shocking all living beings!
Throughout history, countless powerful beings only knew that the Scarlet Dragon lineage had a peerless Heavenly King with unparalleled combat prowess. But upon seeing this today, they finally understood that the mount of the Crimson Star Immortal Emperor was the foremost general under the Scarlet Dragon lineage's Immortal Emperor.
"I will fight you!"
Lei Yuan attacked, and the void immediately roared like a dragon's cry, a phoenix's call, a tiger's roar!
Pfft!
In the vast sky, golden blood of a Quasi-Emperor splattered, shattering the firmament, piercing space, and causing the burning earth to steam.
The Crimson Star Immortal Emperor closed his eyes. Perhaps in his eyes, this was an inevitable defeat, so he did not rush to attack. Instead, he dispersed his imperial might, closed his eyes, and rested within his palace.
At this moment, Danxue Mountain, and indeed the entire Fengzhou realm, was a scene of bloody carnage, incredibly shocking. That black staff, like a weapon of the Great Dao, caused myriad stars to shift.
Without the suppression of imperial might, countless living beings attempted to stand up, drawn by the battle in the sky. Countless rifts in the heavenly abyss stretched across billions of miles of the heavens.
"Kill!"
Lei Yuan let out a great roar, his true form appearing behind him. His wings unfurled for billions of miles, and divine thunder exploded. Countless stars were enveloped by the lightning. With a wave of his claws, countless sword qi and claw marks struck out, shattering stars and suppressing the darkness.
With a thunderous roar, Lei Yuan brandished his Thunder Axe and cleaved towards the green ox.
"Lei Yuan, the eighth child of the two Emperors. Although he doesn't have the qualification to become an Immortal Emperor like Huo Luo, his combat power is peerlessly strong. Excluding Yun Rou, he is second only to the wings of the Golden-Winged Great Peng."
A powerful being murmured softly while gazing into the endless heavenly abyss. Above the blood-soaked sky, lightning raged on one side, while the black abyss devoured on the other. The battle between these two formidable figures, each displaying their true strength, instantly pushed the fight of Quasi-Emperor realm beings to its apex!
"Hidden quite deeply!"
Fei Zhang Sage King narrowed his eyes, looking at the green ox fighting alongside Lei Yuan. Perhaps it was due to the Crimson Star Immortal Emperor that they had overlooked this green ox. Today, its fearsome killing intent made even him feel a prickle of fear.
Just as Yun Rou had said, the Golden-Winged Great Peng had temporarily retreated in the past, as it had only recently emerged. Later, when the Golden-Winged Great Peng suppressed the Immortal Realm, Fei Zhang Sage King was never seen causing trouble.
"These successors are becoming increasingly powerful. Am I truly getting old?" King Zijing looked at his hands, repeatedly asking himself.
He was once the foremost person under the Immortal Emperor. With the emergence of Kong Xuan, his combat power was gradually surpassed by other beings, until now, he had faded into obscurity.
"BOOM!"
Lei Yuan raised his Thunder Axe. With a sweep of his wings, all the divine thunder in heaven and earth surrendered to its sharpness. He let out an angry roar, and myriads of divine thunder exploded.
"Take my staff!"
On the other side, the green ox, its face flushed red, hot air puffing from its nostrils, panted continuously. Seeing Lei Yuan still fighting with formidable strength, it let out a great roar and charged towards Lei Yuan.
THUD!
The Thunder Axe and the black staff collided, emitting a loud, dull sound. Lei Yuan's left hand transformed into a claw, sharp as sword qi, while the green ox extended its free hand, forming a hardened fist, and swung it out, its power akin to the force of stars.
In an instant, the two battled in the sky for three days and three nights. During this time, no living being dared to move. Within the palace, the Crimson Star Immortal Emperor appeared to be truly asleep, utterly motionless.
Meanwhile, the Tai Xu Immortal Emperor and the Shi Yuan Immortal Emperor, who were being held back by the Zhaoyao Immortal Emperor, the Kuang Shen Immortal Emperor, and the Crimson Star Immortal Emperor, found their rhythm becoming increasingly chaotic.
