In comparison to Shi Letian of the Ancient Lion Kingdom, Shu Ning of the Scarlet Sun Dynasty, Yun Si of the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom, and Nie Qiuying of the Sword Bone lineage, the current leader of the Blood Yuan Dynasty's forces was a formidable general who had earned immense renown by treading upon hundreds of thousands of corpses. He had been officially appointed as the Grand General of Defense by the Blood Yuan Dynasty and was one of their three True Gods, as well as the only one not of royal blood!
The blood on Wei Boping's hands, even if multiplied by hundreds of times that of Nie Qiuying and the other three combined, could not reveal the true extent of the lives extinguished by Wei Boping, the man who commanded the armies of the Blood Yuan Dynasty.
Yun Si, the previously arrogant True God of the Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom, was now sweating and whispered, "Grand General of Defense of the Blood Yuan Dynasty - Wei Boping!"
In a one-on-one fight, Yun Si might have stood a chance of defeating Wei Boping, who had been forged in seas of corpses and blood. However, if the two nations were to clash, Yun Si would surely perish.
Wei Boping, who commanded the armies, had mastered a technique called the Bloodthirsty Military Formation. Once unleashed, this formation would ensure Yun Si's irreversible doom.
"Wei Boping, I never imagined that the Blood Yuan Dynasty would deploy their trump card for the opening of the Blood Sea Coffin."
Nie Qiuying, who had been in meditation, opened his eyes. He looked at the fierce-faced Wei Boping, his eyelids twitching wildly, a look of extreme apprehension on his face.
At this moment, all beings held their breath. The Blood Sea's pressure brought by Wei Boping far surpassed that of the four True Gods – Nie Qiuying, Shi Letian, Shu Ning, and Yun Si. The ominous aura of blood and death pressed down, leaving all creatures pale and weak.
Wei Boping, holding the reins, surveyed Nie Qiuying, Shi Letian, Shu Ning, and Yun Si, who had arrived early. His gaze swept over them, and the four quickly rose, bowing respectfully to Wei Boping. This was not out of fear of the Blood Yuan Dynasty or Wei Boping; the foundations of the five major powers were not significantly different.
The four had adopted this posture out of respect for Wei Boping, for this True God who was loyal to his sovereign and protected his lord!
Wei Boping looked at the four, merely returning the clasped-fist salute. He scanned the surrounding onlookers, seemingly searching for someone.
"General, we have not seen the forces from Shui Yue Tian, Chang He Sect, and Hai Shen Island!"
A Virtual God deputy beside him approached Wei Boping and reported respectfully.
"Mm!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Boping withdrew his gaze, tugged on the reins, and led the Blood Yuan Dynasty army to encamp nearby, awaiting the opening of the Blood Sea Coffin.
The presence or absence of the Shui Yue Tian, Chang He Sect, and Hai Shen Island forces had little impact on the Blood Yuan Dynasty; it would merely augment the size of the team entering the Blood Sea Coffin.
Unbeknownst to Wei Boping, the overlords of the Shui Yue Tian, Chang He Sect, and Hai Shen Island had long since perished in the Heavenly River.
Currently, the origins of the lower planes were still in the process of coalescing, a task that would take at least a thousand years. Naturally, the Blood Yuan Dynasty had not dispatched any gods to collect these origins and thus had not discovered that their subordinate factions had already been wiped out!
As for why no troops were stationed in Shui Yue Tian, Chang He Sect, and Hai Shen Island, it was because, to the Blood Yuan Dynasty, the islands where these three factions were located were barren lands. Who would bother going there? And who would dare to encroach upon the Blood Yuan Dynasty's sphere of influence?
"Boom!"
A sound akin to divine thunder reverberated, but it did not draw much attention, as most beings were focused on the Blood Yuan Dynasty's army.
Following this, another "Boom!" of thunder echoed. At this point, the majority of creatures began to pay attention, searching for the source of the sound in all directions.
The Blood Yuan Dynasty, Ancient Lion Kingdom, Scarlet Sun Dynasty, Dragon Elephant Ancient Kingdom, and Sword Bone lineage, all now protected by True Gods, were present. Who dared to be so audacious?
Could it be the arrival of the Gate of Creation?
Had the supreme ruler of the Domain Province finally arrived?
Countless beings looked around. Wei Boping, Shi Letian, Shu Ning, Nie Qiuying, and Yun Si, the five True Gods, all rose to their feet and gazed towards the distant horizon.
If it were truly a being from the Gate of Creation descending, and they remained seated, their lives would be forfeit.
"Boom!"
An arrow wreathed in crimson flames streaked across the sky at incredible speed. Most beings, including all the Virtual God-level creatures present, failed to capture the trajectory of the crimson arrow.
"What a terrifying arrow!"
Shi Letian watched the crimson arrow, which had traversed the void and quickly disappeared, with a tense expression and whispered, "No one from the Gate of Creation uses arrows!"
"Could it be a rising talent?"
He had had the fortune to visit the Gate of Creation and had received guidance from a Celestial God. During his day there, he had not encountered anyone who specialized in archery.
"This archery skill is no simple matter. Virtual God realm beings would find it difficult to withstand!"
Yun Si looked at the vanished crimson arrow with apprehension, speaking with emotion.
At this moment, all beings stood up, their faces solemn as they awaited the arrival of the powerful from the Gate of Creation!
They awaited the supreme overlord of the Domain Province!
However, soon, countless beings were dumbfounded, gazing at the three figures gradually appearing at the end of the horizon.
One wore crimson armor, with faint crimson flames flickering upon it. Another wore silver-white armor, which, despite its color, emanated a killing intent no less than, and possibly surpassing, that of Wei Boping. The third figure also wore silver-white armor, and the terrifying aura of slaughter they exuded made the three figures seem to possess the momentum of an army of thousands.
At a distance of three miles from the blood-red seal, Huang Zhong scanned the area, taking in all the onlookers.
He also detected the five True God auras one by one.
"Boom!"
Shang Shitu extended his palm and grasped the void. Nine golden five-clawed dragon-like energy symbols condensed on his arm.
"Roar~~"
Dragon roars echoed, and golden light, carrying a terrifying imperial aura, rippled through the void. At a certain moment, this imperial aura, which had shocked so many beings, suddenly converged towards Shang Shitu's palm.
A golden banner materialized!
Golden light flashed, and nine dragons emerged in unison!
A Great Han banner inscribed with the character "汉" (Han), accompanied by intense golden light and a profound imperial aura, merged in the void to form a thousand-zhang banner.
The character "汉" (Han) suppressed the void!
All beings clearly saw the Great Han Imperial Dynasty banner suppressing the void!
"Are those golden five-clawed golden dragons?"
At this moment, Wei Boping and Shu Ning frowned slightly, as the Blood Yuan Dynasty and the Scarlet Sun Dynasty followed the same path!
The imperial fortune of the five-clawed golden dragon!
Observing the scene of nine dragons emerging in unison, the aura was far from that of a Celestial Dynasty; this was undoubtedly the aura of an Imperial Dynasty.
Looking across the Domain Province and even the surrounding four major provinces, when had such an Imperial Dynasty ever emerged?
