Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14140 The Graveyard of Civilization
"By the way, is there any news from the Temple of Annihilation?"

The Temple of Annihilation has always been shrouded in mystery; its power is immense and its actions unpredictable, so caution is necessary.

Ji Mingkong suddenly asked.

"You're not really planning to attack the Temple of Annihilation, are you?"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. The speaker was none other than Lü Ning.

Lü Ning has now submitted to the Overlord Empire.

She was originally a member of the Demon Sea, but after witnessing the Demon Sea's brutality and the power and justice of the Overlord Empire, she resolutely chose to submit, not for any other reason than to protect the kind and innocent creatures in the Demon Sea and prevent them from suffering the ravages of war.

She knew the power of the Temple of Annihilation, so when she heard Ji Mingkong mention it, she couldn't help but feel worried.

Ji Mingkong stood tall and straight on the observatory. The night wind fluttered her clothes, but it could not dispel the cold aura emanating from her.

She tilted her head slightly, gazing at the deep and mysterious night sky, as if she could see the hideous face of the Temple of Annihilation hidden in the shadows through the endless darkness.

After a moment, she slowly withdrew her gaze, her voice calm yet undeniably firm, and said, word by word, "The Undying Annihilation Temple is going to destroy us. So, it's not that our Overlord Empire wants to attack them, it's that they're not giving us a way out."

In this brutal struggle between worlds, if we do not rise up in resistance, only destruction awaits us.

Shangguan Yue nodded slightly, knowing full well that what Ji Mingkong said was true.

Her expression was solemn, and her eyes revealed a deep fear of the Temple of Annihilation. She then continued Ji Mingkong's words, saying, "What the Empress said is absolutely right."

This 'Sanctuary of Annihilation' is very likely the most powerful and ancient transcendental world in our known territory.

It's like a giant beast lurking in the darkness, constantly eyeing everything around it, and once it gets the chance, it will devour its prey without hesitation.

Shangguan Yue took a small step forward, her tone becoming increasingly certain: "This Silent Sanctuary is incredibly terrifying, far surpassing my Overlord Empire!"

Its power stems from its survival method of plundering all worlds.

They don't plunder ordinary spiritual energy; they directly devour the origin of other worlds!
As she spoke, her tone unconsciously became more forceful, as if every word carried immense weight: "The origin, that is the foundation of a world, the core force that nurtures all things and sustains the world's operation."

Once the source is devoured, the entire world will gradually decline until it is completely destroyed.

Countless worlds have been devoured by it throughout countless eons, their origins swallowed up and reduced to desolate ruins!

Those once prosperous and thriving worlds were instantly turned into a desolate wasteland by the greedy Temple of Annihilation. Life was ravaged, civilization vanished, and only desolation and death remained.

She paused briefly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm her agitated emotions, but her slightly trembling voice betrayed the shock and fear in her heart.

She continued, "That is why the Temple of Annihilation has an inexhaustible spiritual energy, its martial arts civilization is extremely prosperous, and powerful figures emerge one after another, always standing at the pinnacle of all worlds."

With the immense power they gained from devouring the origins of other worlds, they continuously expanded their sphere of influence, extending their reach to more and more worlds.

Each time they devoured something, their strength increased to a higher level, creating a vicious cycle that made them increasingly powerful and difficult to defeat.

Shangguan Yue paused again, glanced around at the people around her, and then slowly said, "What's even more terrifying is that while they are devouring the source, they can also absorb the essence of the civilizations of the destroyed worlds."

Every world has its unique civilization, which is the crystallization of the wisdom and hard work of countless beings, containing endless mysteries and power.

The Temple of Annihilation is like a greedy robber, plundering all the essence of these civilizations and integrating it into its own system.

It can be said that the Temple of Annihilation itself is a 'graveyard of civilizations' and a 'forge of power' that gathers the last essence of countless vanished worlds!
It continuously merges and refines these plundered powers to create even more terrifying martial arts and magical treasures, further consolidating its dominant position in the myriad realms.

Ji Mingkong sat upright on the magnificent chair adorned with dragons and phoenixes, his posture tall and elegant. He lowered his head slightly, and a sharp glint flashed in his deep, star-like eyes.

Her fingertips unconsciously slid slowly along the rim of the delicate teacup in front of her, circling it again and again, as if she were pondering the most intractable problem in the world.

After a moment, she spoke softly, her voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority: "The actions of this Temple of Annihilation are clearly designed to kill others."

Since they are so aggressive, we can no longer sit idly by and wait to be defeated. We must change our strategy, take the initiative, and let them know that our Overlord Empire is not a pushover to be bullied!
Shangguan Yue stood quietly to the side, her graceful figure exuding a heroic spirit.

Upon hearing Ji Mingkong's words, she nodded in deep agreement, her already serious expression instantly becoming even more stern, as if shrouded in a thick layer of frost.

She took a step forward, bowed slightly, and said in a low and urgent voice, "Your Majesty, I have important matters to report."

The black vortex above the Tianyuan Dynasty was no ordinary object; it was the coordinate node used by the Silent Sanctuary for positioning and teleportation!

This discovery means that their influence has long since spread like a ghost, silently reaching into our space.

They are like venomous snakes lurking in the darkness, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment, targeting the Batian Empire, or more accurately, its very essence!
Such a crisis is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the empire, ready to fall at any moment. Your Majesty, I implore you not to take it lightly!

Ji Mingkong's gaze was sharp and intense, fixed on Shangguan Yue, his eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

Without the slightest hesitation, she asked directly, "Do you have a solution?"

Shangguan Yue was clearly prepared. She straightened her back, her eyes revealing determination and decisiveness, and her speech unconsciously quickened: "Your Majesty, I have three major countermeasures."

Firstly, the most urgent task is to issue an edict immediately to recall all the imperial warriors who are exploring unknown territories, honing their skills, or guarding border fortresses as quickly as possible.

No matter where they are at this moment, even if it's the ends of the earth, even if they have to overcome numerous obstacles, they must rush back to provide support at all costs!
They are the backbone of our empire; only by coming together can we form a powerful force to resist foreign enemies.

Secondly, activate the empire's long-standing 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array'.

This formation is incredibly powerful; it is a national defense weapon left behind by ancient sages.
