Da Qin: Conquer all heavens and all realms

A little spark can burn out the law.

The flame dancing on the fingertips of the woman in the red dress seemed insignificant, but it seemed to be the concentration and embodiment of this eternal universe.

It is not the Samadhi True Fire of the mortal world, nor is it the Nanming Li Fire of immortal cultivators, but a power of a higher level - the fire of origin.

It is the first ray of light and heat born at the beginning of the universe after the collision of the most primitive chaos and order.

It does not burn flesh and blood, nor does it burn souls. It directly burns the most basic "existence" itself that constitutes all things!

When the flame lit up, the space around the Void Universe Boat, which was stabilized by Ying Zheng's supreme power, made a sad "sizzling" sound, like steel thrown into a furnace, and began to melt, twist, and disintegrate.

The mysterious runes flowing on the boat, which represented the crystallization of the combination of Daqin's highest technology and Taoism, dimmed the moment they came into contact with the edge of the flame, as if all their spirituality had been sucked away.

"Your Majesty!" Bai Qi's eyes were bloodshot. He felt an unprecedented threat. This power was beyond his comprehension.

In his entire life of battle, he had never witnessed such a strange and powerful attack. He instinctively tried to activate the Void Universe Boat's defense array, but found that all the energy seemed to be suppressed and absorbed by the flames.

"Hold steady!" Ying Zheng's voice, like a stabilizing force, resounded deep within everyone's soul. His eyes, now brighter than the stars, stared intently at the flame, his brain working at an unprecedented speed.

"System! Analysis!"

Ding: Ding… High-dimensional origin energy detected, analyzing… Analysis failed… Energy level exceeds the upper limit of the system database… Attempting to establish a new mathematical model… Model construction in progress…

The system's prompt made Ying Zheng's heart sink.

Even the system couldn't interpret it, which meant that this force had completely broken through his previous cognitive framework. Trying to resist it head-on was like trying to hit a rock with an egg.

"Grand Marshal, Deputy Marshal, obey my orders!" Ying Zheng's voice was firm. "All troops, prepare for battle! Void Universe Boat, activate the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation'! The faith and fighting spirit of our Great Qin soldiers are the core of the formation!"

"Yes!" Bai Qi and Wang Jian responded at the same time, with a flash of determination in their eyes.

"Meng Tian, ​​Xiang Yu, and Han Xin, lead your armies and prepare for the 'Breaking Army Assault'! I want you, after I shatter the flames, to plunge straight into the enemy formation like sharp swords and cut off their heads!"

"Yes!" The three generals were eager to fight. Xiang Yu even roared to the sky, and the Overlord Spear in his hand hummed, eager to drink blood.

"The remaining legion commanders, each lead your troops to form the 'Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Chain Formation' to protect the boat and stabilize the position! Wait for my orders!"

"Yes, sir!" Fifty legion commanders roared in unison, their momentum overwhelming.

Ying Zheng issued clear, calm, and unquestionable orders one after another. Faced with this devastating crisis, he remained unfazed, displaying the supreme command of a true emperor in dire straits.

It didn't seem like he was dealing with a sudden attack, but rather commanding a battle that had been rehearsed thousands of times.

Inside the Void Universe Boat, countless magic arrays lit up, and a huge star map emerged on the surface of the boat. It was the full view of the Milky Way as observed by the Great Qin Empire.

The star map flickered, and the light of countless stars was drawn by the formation, converging into brilliant streams of energy, which were injected into the huge tortoise shell at the front of the boat.

The tortoise shell was the core of the Void Universe Boat and the focal point of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation." At this moment, it was being burned by the Origin Fire, with tiny cracks appearing on its surface and groaning under the weight.

"Hmph, stubborn resistance." The woman in the red dress sneered. "In front of the 'Origin', any formation, any technique is futile. Let me show you what true power is!"

She flicked her fingertips, and the original fire instantly broke away from her fingertips, turned into a stream of light, and shot silently towards the Void Qiankun Boat.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no devastating light.

The flame gently touched the core of the tortoise shell array of the Void Universe Boat.

"boom--!!!"

A loud noise that could not be described in words exploded deep in everyone's soul.

The Void Universe Boat, a supreme treasure capable of traversing the heavens and ignoring most attacks, trembled violently. The countless solid alloy decks on the boat instantly vaporized like ice and snow thrown into a scorching furnace.

The star power condensed by the Zhoutian Star Array was like a drop in the ocean in front of the flames, and was madly swallowed and decomposed.

The center of the formation, the tortoise shell, was burned through with a big hole in just a moment!

"puff!"

Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and all the other generals connected to the warships' minds and spirits simultaneously spat out blood, their faces instantly turning pale. The core of the formation had been broken, and the backlash had severely injured them all.

"Hahaha! See? This is the gap between you and us!" The woman in the red dress laughed uncontrollably, full of the superiority of a victor. "You bugs from the 'lower realm' will never be able to understand the greatness of the 'origin'. Now, die!"

The flames passed through the center of the formation and began to spread within the Void Universe Boat. Wherever it passed, whether it was steel, energy, or space, it was all reduced to nothingness.

For the first time, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty felt such a desperate sense of powerlessness.

The warships they were proud of, the barriers on which they depended for survival, were as fragile as paper in front of the enemy.

"Your Majesty..." Bai Qi struggled to get up, his eyes full of bloodshot and unwillingness.

However, at this critical moment, Ying Zheng slowly closed his eyes.

He is not giving up, but thinking.

"No...no..."

"Although this flame is powerful, it is not invincible."

"What it burns is 'existence', but what is 'existence'? Is it matter? Is it energy? Or... rules?"

"My laws, my 'I am the Way of Heaven', are essentially rules!"

"Rules, how to burn the rules?"

An extremely bold idea flashed through Ying Zheng's mind like lightning.

"System! Consume your luck points! Manifest my 'Great Qin Law' with the highest authority! What I want is not attack, not defense, what I want is... 'definition'!"

Ding: Ding... Command received. Consuming Luck Points... Upgrading 'Daqin Law' to 'Conceptual Rule'... Upgrade successful... 'Daqin Law - Conceptual Version' activated. Master, please issue the 'Define' command.

Ying Zheng suddenly opened his eyes. In his pupils, there was no longer the majesty of an emperor, but a flash of deep light that seemed to be able to see through the origin of all things.

He stretched out his right hand and spoke word by word to the Origin Fire raging inside the boat:

"I am the ancestor of the Great Qin, the ruler of all realms!"

"My words are the law, I am the law of heaven!"

"I am here, in the name of the Great Qin, and with my imperial authority, to 'define'—"

"This fire is called 'Eternal Fire'!"

"I, the 'Definition' - the 'Eternal Fire', cannot burn anything protected by the 'Great Qin Law'!"

The moment the words fell, something strange happened!

The raging origin fire suddenly paused. It seemed to sense something and struggled frantically, trying to break free from Ying Zheng's "definition."

However, an invisible and intangible will, yet as vast as the ocean, erupted from Ying Zheng's body, instantly enveloping the entire Void Universe Boat.

That was the fortune accumulated by the Qin Empire over hundreds of years, the faith of hundreds of millions of subjects, and the imperial tradition of Ying Zheng himself, "I am the way of heaven"!

This will transformed into golden chains composed of countless ancient seal characters, emerged from the void, and entangled with the original fire.

"Chi chi chi——"

The golden chains made contact with the flames, producing a violent corrosive sound. The flames burned the chains, while the chains constantly "defined" the flames, depriving them of their "burning" power.

This is a war at the rules level!

The smile on the red-dressed woman's face instantly froze. She was horrified to discover that her connection with the Origin Flame was being disrupted and severed by an unfamiliar, powerful force of rules!

"Impossible! You... who are you? How can you 'define' the power of origin?!" She screamed.

Ying Zheng did not answer her. All his attention was devoted to this unprecedented "legislative" battle.

His face became paler and paler, and his body trembled slightly due to the huge consumption, but his eyes became more and more determined.

"not enough!"

"System! Consume more Luck Points! Deeply bind the 'Great Qin Law' to the 'Void Universe Boat'! I want this boat to become the carrier of my law! I want everything within this boat to be my domain of law!"

Ding: Ding... Command received. Consuming Luck Points... Binding successful.

At this moment, the "Void Universe Boat" was given a whole new meaning. It was no longer just a warship, but an extension of Ying Zheng's imperial way, the embodiment of his "Dharma Domain"!

"Om-!"

The Void Universe Boat, whose hull was burned and riddled with holes, suddenly burst into a thousand feet of golden light.

On the hull, golden law runes automatically emerged, repairing the damage. The previously burned hole in the formation was also quickly filled with golden light.

The fire of origin, under the illumination of this golden light, made a mournful "hissing" sound, and its power was being weakened at a speed visible to the naked eye!

"No——!" The woman in the red dress roared unwillingly. She once again mobilized her strength, trying to regain control of the flames.

However, it was too late.

Ying Zheng's gaze was cast at her like a sharp sword.

"I accept your attack."

"Now, it's my turn."

"Bai Qi! Wang Jian! Attack with all your forces!"

"Using my laws as our guide, the Void Universe Boat as our foundation, and the blood of the Qin soldiers as our spearhead!"

"Target--"

"Kill the enemy!"

Ying Zheng's voice, like thunder from the sky, resounded throughout the battlefield.

The Qin expeditionary force, already poised for battle, erupted with unprecedented fighting spirit at this moment. They were no longer isolated soldiers trapped in danger, but an invincible force within their own "Dharma Domain," blessed by the "Way of Heaven"!

"Roar--!"

The Void Universe Boat, the giant ship carrying the hope of the Qin Empire, under the blessing of Ying Zheng's laws, turned into a stream of light that tore through eternity, and slammed towards the silver-robed man and the red-dressed woman with a resolute attitude!

On the bow of the Void Universe Boat, on the huge tortoise shell, the golden law runes converged into an invisible giant sword that was ten thousand miles long!

The sword was pointing at the two powerful natives of the Eternal Universe!
