My son is about to break through.

Eastern Region.

Guiyuan Dynasty.

Now that the army of the Shenwu Dynasty is approaching, about half of the 373 prefectures that were once under the control of the Guiyuan Dynasty have now fallen.

This battle.

Let the people of the world witness the strength of the Shenwu Dynasty.

Even if Gu Qingfeng did not show up, the strength displayed by the Shenwu Dynasty was quite astonishing.

Even a powerful dynasty like the Guiyuan Dynasty had to retreat step by step.

Yueming Mansion.

The army presses the territory.

On the Guiyuan Dynasty side, Emperor Han led the army in person to boost morale.

In the Shenwu camp.

Shi Zhen and other military generals gathered here.

"Now that the Emperor of Han is personally leading the expedition, this man may be a semi-saint, but if he really uses all his cards, he can be on par with a saint!"

"If we can't suppress Emperor Han, I'm afraid this battle will be hard to determine the winner!"

Jiang Mo looked serious.

Yueming Prefecture is of important location and is a key prefecture in the Guiyuan Dynasty.

If we can capture Yueming Mansion, our army can truly march straight in without any obstacles.

in contrast.

If they fail to capture Yueming Mansion, then even if they take a detour, they will easily be attacked from both sides.

But now the Emperor of Korea is leading the army in person.

The other party himself is a powerful person in the semi-saint realm.

If he could use the luck of the dynasty again, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a saint.

Even though the Shenwu Dynasty has great saint soldiers in charge, it is not easy to really deal with a saint.

after all--

It is true that the God-killing Spear is powerful.

But if you want to truly mobilize the full power of the Great Saint Army, it is easy to negotiate.

Such a treasure.

At least one needs the cultivation of a saint.

Not yet at the saint level.

It can only mobilize some of the power of the treasure.

Even if blood sacrifice is used, it is the same.

not to mention.

The Guiyuan Dynasty also has its own heritage.

So when Jiang Mo finished speaking, everyone's faces looked a little ugly.

Because they knew very well that what Jiang Mo said was true.

For now.

It is not easy to take over Yueming Mansion.

"The biggest reliance of the Guiyuan Dynasty now lies in the dynasty's luck. If we cannot suppress Emperor Han with the force of thunder, we can slowly fight him.

At the same time, he sent people to secretly infiltrate the Guiyuan Dynasty to stir up public opinion and weaken the dynasty's fortune.

When the Guiyuan Dynasty's fortune declines to a certain extent, it will naturally be the time for them to perish!"

Shi Zhen's eyes turned cold, and he immediately made a decision.

Since we can't win head-on, we have to use other means.

The foundation of a dynasty’s great fortune lies in the hearts of its people.

As long as the people no longer belong to the Guiyuan Dynasty, how much of the dynasty's fortune can Emperor Han borrow?

that time.

It is the other party’s death date.

The death of the Emperor of Korea.

There would be no possibility for the Guiyuan Dynasty to stop him anymore.

After hearing Shi Zhen's words, everyone else looked at each other, and they could see some subtle emotions in each other's eyes.

If there is no other way, then this is the only option.

But if this happens, I'm afraid a lot of people in the army will die.

but.

There is never a war without casualties.

Even as it is now, with the army of the Shenwu Dynasty marching forward triumphantly, there are still many people who die on the battlefield.

at this time.

A guard came in from outside.

"General, Chu Daoxuan, the head of the Court of Worship, and all the other worshippers are here to pay their respects!"

"The worship hall!"

When Shi Zhen heard what the other party said, he was slightly startled, and then his face lit up with joy.

"Invite them in quickly!"

Shi Zhen was well aware that the Shenwu Dynasty had a new temple.

In addition, news also came from the imperial court, stating that masters from the Temple of Worship would come to support and assist the army in attacking the Guiyuan Dynasty.

What Shi Zhen didn't expect was that the people from the Temple of Worship would arrive so quickly.

Subsequently.

Then Chu Daoxuan and a group of worshippers walked in.

"Chu Daoxuan meets General Shi!"

"You are too polite, Envoy Chu!"

Shi Zhen also stood up to return the greeting.

The status of the Temple of Worship is somewhat detached from the rest of the world. Although it has no rank, Shi Zhen does not dare to despise it.

Especially the Chu Daoxuan in front of him, who is a powerful man in the semi-saint realm.

In front of such a strong man, Shi Zhen took it very seriously.

"Greetings to Envoy Chu!"

At this time, everyone else also bowed in greeting.

In this regard.

Chu Daoxuan also responded with a smile.

soon.

Several people took their seats.

Chu Daoxuan asked straight to the point: "I came here on the orders of His Majesty to assist the army in attacking Guiyuan Imperial City, but I wonder what the current situation is like?"

"Let Envoy Chu know that now that Emperor Han is personally leading the expedition, the morale of the Guiyuan Dynasty is high. It will be difficult for our army to move forward, so we can only take it step by step!"

After hearing Chu Daoxuan's words, the smile on Shi Zhen's face disappeared and his expression became serious again.

Hear the words.

Chu Daoxuan and the other worshippers also looked solemn.

"The emperor leads the army in person!"

"This is a bit tricky!"

Chu Daoxuan nodded.

He naturally knew what it meant to lead the army in person.

Emperor Han is the most powerful person in the Eastern Region.

With the cultivation level of Semi-Saint, if it were the previous Chu Daoxuan, he would not be able to suppress it.

Even if you now obtain the incomplete Ancient Heavenly Sword, it is actually the same.

after all.

The ruler of an imperial dynasty must have extraordinary background.

If the fortune of an imperial dynasty comes to him again, such an existence would be comparable to a saint.

Under such circumstances, it is understandable that the army of the Shenwu Dynasty stopped advancing.

Subsequently.

Shi Zhen said: "Although we have the Great Saint Soldiers, the power of such treasures cannot be fully activated by Dao Palace Realm cultivators."

“It’s not like there’s no solution to this problem!”

Chu Daoxuan pondered for a moment.

“If we use blood sacrifice, and then we personally come forward to water it with our own blood, we can activate the power of the treasure to a great extent.

In that case, even if I can't fully display the power of the God-killing Spear, I believe it won't be a problem to deal with an ordinary saint!"

But there is one sentence.

Chu Daoxuan didn't say it.

That is why essence and blood are precious.

For a cultivator, if he loses his essence and blood, it is not easy to make up for it later.

But whether it was Chu Daoxuan or the people from the Worship Hall, although they all looked a little strange about this, no one spoke out against it.

After all, they had already received benefits from the court by joining the Gongfengyuan. Now that it was time to give back, it was natural for them to not contribute.

Moreover.

We really need to assist the army in taking down the Guiyuan Dynasty.

They believe it.

The rewards from the court will certainly not be small.

that time.

Even if some energy and blood are consumed, it doesn't matter. If there are really a lot of resources, it will be no problem to make up for it.

"Since Envoy Chu can have such an idea, why can't we give it a try?"

Shi Zhen's eyes lit up. He didn't expect Chu Daoxuan to be able to do this for Shenwu.

Although there were not many people coming to the temple this time, they all had high levels of cultivation.

Especially Chu Daoxuan.

For a strong man like this who is at the semi-saint level, one drop of his essence and blood is worth tens of millions of ordinary soldiers.

If the strong men in the Worship Hall are willing to sacrifice their blood and essence, then it is not impossible to truly activate the power of the God-killing Spear.

-

While the Shenwu Dynasty was waging external wars, Gu Qingfeng had now recovered all the energy he had lost in the previous battle.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Gu Qingfeng's eyes were as bright as a knife. "Finally recovered!"

Feeling the vigorous energy and blood in his body, Gu Qingfeng smiled.

With his level of cultivation, minor injuries can be recovered in an instant, which is almost the same as non-existent ones.

However, if the injury really affects one's fundamental body, it is not so easy to recover.

Fortunately.

Gu Qingfeng's injury was not serious.

A battle in the Ancient Beast Mountains.

He used his physical body to fight against the Star Emperor Bell, and gained a truly comprehensive understanding of his own strength.

The three great heavenly veins emerged simultaneously.

In terms of strength.

Gu Qingfeng felt that he could be on par with the strong ones in the Saint King realm.

Simultaneously.

Such battles.

It makes him more adept at using his own strength.

Although there was no breakthrough in his cultivation, Gu Qingfeng's strength had improved slightly.

"It seems that blindly retiring is not enough after all. A cultivator can only truly master his own strength in battle!"

"I have a strong foundation now, but I have not experienced enough battles, so my potential has not been fully tapped!"

"In other words, I still have room for improvement at the ninth level of the Saint Realm—"

Talk about it.

Since his cultivation level improved, Gu Qingfeng has rarely encountered opponents of equal strength.

After all, in today's Dharma-Ending Age, whenever Gu Qingfeng encounters a cultivator, he can basically kill him instantly with a snap of his fingers.

The gap between the two sides.

Like a natural moat.

This is the fundamental reason why, when Gu Qingfeng faced the Star Emperor Bell, he did not use the imperial weapon at the first time, but instead fought with his physical body.

Fighting against quasi-imperial soldiers is also like fighting against a strong person.

The benefits brought by such battles are sometimes more useful than seclusion for a hundred years.

In fact.

Just as Gu Qingfeng thought.

A battle in the Ancient Beast Mountains.

Gu Qingfeng benefited a lot from it.

Think of this.

Gu Qingfeng couldn't help but look at the restricted areas in all directions.

"In today's Dharma Ending Age, many ancient masters are in deep sleep. The only things that can really put pressure on me are probably the major forbidden ancient places!"

Any restricted area contains great danger.

Some restricted areas.

It can even make the emperor bleed.

now.

Gu Qingfeng then came up with the idea of ​​going to the restricted area.

But before that.

Gu Qingfeng took a look at his own cultivation level, but he did not move immediately.

"The ninth level of Sainthood has more than 2,000 points of improvement. When you reach 5,000 points, you can break through the Sainthood Barrier and enter the Great Sainthood.

This way, we can have more protection when entering the restricted area!"

Gu Qingfeng pondered.

Don’t underestimate the first level of the Great Saint Realm, it seems to be only one step away from the ninth level of the Saint Realm.

But once you take this step, it will make the difference between heaven and earth.

If he entered the Great Saint Realm, Gu Qingfeng would be confident that he could suppress the Star Emperor Bell with his absolute cultivation strength without using the imperial weapons.

This.

This is the change brought about by breaking through the Great Saint Realm.

Judging from the current situation, Gu Qingfeng believes that it will not take too long.

……

time flies.

With the defeat of the Xingchen Empire, peace returned to the entire Jiuzhou.

But outside Kyushu.

The war between the two dynasties never stopped.

In the first year after the defeat of the Star Empire.

The Shenwu Dynasty dispatched strong men from the Temple of Worship to fight, and joined forces with the two armies to activate the God-killing Spear to severely damage Emperor Han of the Guiyuan Dynasty, completely opening up the situation in Yueming Prefecture.

then.

In the next three years.

The Guiyuan Dynasty was losing ground.

Stay until the end.

Such a great dynasty was reduced to just one prefecture, and its fall was a matter of seconds.

In Tianyuan Mansion.

The capital of the Guiyuan Dynasty.

Compared with a few years ago, the current Emperor of Han has aged a lot, with gray hair on his temples, like an old man who is about to die.

now.

Outside the capital.

The army besieged the city.

Emperor Han showed a bitter smile.

"I never thought that the 100,000-year foundation of my Han family would be destroyed in my hands!"

Regret?
Emperor Han asked himself.

Naturally, he had no regrets in the past.

but now.

Emperor Han was very regretful.

If he had known that the Shenwu Dynasty would be so powerful, he would never have provoked them.

Or, the moment they provoked the Shenwu Dynasty, they would use all the power of the Guiyuan Dynasty to directly crush the Shenwu Dynasty and never give the other side any chance to grow.

As long as you can do a little bit of both.

The Guiyuan Dynasty would not be in its current situation.

Unfortunately.

It's too late to say anything now.

Several years of war.

The Guiyuan Dynasty suffered a crushing defeat.

Most of the 373 prefectures fell, leaving only Tianyuan Prefecture.

Even in the current Tianyuan Prefecture, most of the territory has changed its flag, and only the capital is struggling to hold on.

Now tens of millions of troops are besieging the city.

As long as the enemy gives an order.

Then what awaits their side is the destruction of the city and the death of people.

at this time.

There was a sudden commotion among the army below, and a cultivator rose into the air and made eye contact with Emperor Han.

"Emperor Han, the Guiyuan Dynasty is doomed. If you open the city and surrender now, maybe you can save some lives!"

"Shi Zhen...I underestimated you, the Shenwu Dynasty!"

Looking at the cultivator in front of him, Emperor Han had a calm expression, without anger or murderous intent, as if he was facing an old friend.

"You are right. The Guiyuan Dynasty is doomed!"

This statement came out.

The other generals defending the city all changed their expressions and were about to speak when Emperor Han raised his hand to stop them.

"Let me ask you, if I am willing to surrender, how will the Shenwu Dynasty treat my officials?"

"For those who are willing to surrender, the Shenwu Dynasty will naturally give them a way out. If they stubbornly resist and insist on opposing the court, they will die!"

Shi Zhen looked calm and spoke.

his words.

The Emperor of Han nodded slightly.

"Also, I have one last request."

"Emperor Han, please speak!"

"I must preserve a bit of my Han bloodline, even if I have to be a commoner in the future."

After Emperor Han finished speaking, Shi Zhen was silent for a while.

Subsequently.

He said, "I need to consult His Majesty on this matter!"

"can."

Emperor Han nodded.

Immediately.

Shi Zhen did not hesitate and directly passed the news back to the Shenwu Dynasty.

Soon.

The messenger jade talisman vibrated.

Shi Zhen said: "His Majesty has decreed that if the Guiyuan Dynasty is willing to surrender, they can retain the Han bloodline, but they must live in the capital permanently and are not allowed to leave the mansion without permission!"

"After two thousand years, this decree will be annulled, and the Han bloodline can regain its freedom!"

Emperor Han heard this.

Of course I understand why Gu Yang did this.

Two thousand years is enough time to change many things.

Emperor Han was very satisfied with this answer.

"Okay, I will order someone to open the city gate tomorrow!" (End of this chapter)
