After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

"They passed through here!"

At dawn, wisps of smoke rose from the abandoned village, and a densely packed army gathered around.

Looking around, the military force numbered at least ten thousand, and there were many powerful figures accompanying them, the weakest of whom were Martial Kings, or even Great Venerables.

Chen Futu remained seated cross-legged on the large blue stone with his eyes closed, seeking the opportunity to understand the missing part of his heart, while Qinghe led the children out of the village.

Qinghe glared at the group of murderous experts and said, "We are the Bone Clan. Our clan has suppressed the earth's veins for thousands of years. Now that we have returned to our homeland, why are you killing our own people!"

"A sick clan? Hahaha!"

The powerful figures laughed, their expressions radiant.

"That title is truly fitting; look at you bunch of consumptive little beasts!"

"Do you still want His Majesty to reward you?"

There was a powerful figure with a strange and unsettling demeanor.

Qinghe clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. "Isn't this right? This is what my clan deserves. If it weren't for my clan, how could you live such a peaceful life!"

"You little beast, what's the use of saying so much? The Great You Dynasty has long since vanished into the dust of history, and your race should also be forever sealed in the earth's veins, continuing to shine and give off light for all living beings."

"That's right, either kneel down and surrender, or die!"

The jarring laughter shattered the children's minds and worldview.

They couldn't understand why someone who had made contributions would be met with hostility and even murder.

why?

Qinghe clenched his fists so tightly they cracked, and finally he smiled sadly, rolled up his sleeves, and dug out the black spot that symbolized glory in front of everyone.

Seeing this, the other children also pulled out daggers and dug off the black spots and flesh, and Vanilla also shaved off the flesh from her face.

The actions of these teenagers left the opposing army and powerful figures dumbfounded.

With a snarling expression, Qinghe addressed the group of bewildered youths: "No one remembers the suffering of my people, no one remembers our glory. If that's the case, then let everything return to its origin!"

"Okay, we all listen to you!"

The boys gripped their daggers, their expressions gradually turning frenzied.

The next second, they plunged their daggers into each other's hearts, and instantly the entire area shook violently. The giant dragon of the earth veins went berserk, and the strata collapsed and cracked.

"In the end what happened!"

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Ordinary soldiers were trapped in the ground or crushed to death by the suddenly erupting stone forest. Even martial arts experts were not spared, and were sent flying through the air by the chaotic energy of the earth's veins.

Chen Futu stared in astonishment at the group of crazed youths. They had not died from having their hearts pierced; they had used a secret technique, black energy emanating from their bodies. Their cultivation was skyrocketing, leaping several major realms from ordinary youths. Among them, Qinghe's improvement was the most exaggerated, entering sainthood in an instant.

"a ha ha ha--"

Qinghe's maniacal laughter echoed through the sky.

The entire region resonated with the heavens and earth, the turbulent clouds and the cursed earth veins flowing beneath the cracked strata were intertwined, strengthening their cultivation.

"My comrades, the world has insulted and bullied us, how can our people sit idly by and wait for death! Today, I will personally reclaim the glory that belongs to our people!"

"We demand it back!"

"We demand it back!"

The battle begins.

When Qinghe struck down with his palm, the area within several kilometers collapsed. Those powerful Grandmasters were reduced to ashes under the might of the Holy Dao, utterly destroyed.

Led by Qinghe, the group of teenagers swept across the land like a pack of completely berserk beasts, destroying everything in sight.

Chen Futu did not stop them. Everything in the world has cause and effect. Given their appearance, they would not be accepted by the outside world if they left the earth's veins. This is a debt that the world owes them, and it is justifiable for them to seek repayment. Of course, if they are killed, it is the path they chose themselves.

"Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs..."

The killings and glories of all living beings will become part of the course of history, so what does it have to do with the way of Heaven?

As Chen Futu thought of this, his body quietly emitted a crystalline glow. In an instant, his cultivation broke through the shackles from the peak of the Great Sage. Then, the earth veins were drawn by the Primordial Ancestor's inheritance and transformed into his domain, swirling around him.

“My holy path, my realm, is finally complete.”

Ding!

[Congratulations, host, on reaching the Saintly Venerable Realm]

[Congratulations, host, on awakening your exclusive domain, the Domain of Earth]

The system's voice echoed in my mind.

Chen Futu raised his hand, and the earth's veins transformed into tiny golden threads that flowed through his palm.

"This is the realm of the earth, and I can use the earth's veins."

Chen Futu can connect with the power of the earth veins within a range of thousands of miles in the blink of an eye. This is a near-invincible domain. Wherever there are earth veins, one can receive the blessing of the earth domain.

"System, what is the Saintly Venerable Realm?"

[A realm rarely seen throughout history, attained by very few. Only a saint who has grasped a portion of the will of heaven and earth can be called a Saint Venerable. It surpasses the ancient saints and is comparable to a Quasi-Emperor.]

"No wonder I feel that the ancient saint is pitifully weak now. I feel like everything is in my hands and I can sweep away all opponents."

Chen Futu continued to contemplate the changes within himself.

With his current cultivation level indeed comparable to a Quasi-Emperor, coupled with the perfected sword dao rules and the ultimate imperial weapon, Chen Futu felt that he was now stronger than he could describe.

"System, where is my reward?"

[Congratulations, host, on completing the anecdote]

The reward includes three top-secret items from the continent, a Quasi-Emperor level Soul-Destroying Spear, and a National Protection Array.

The first two rewards are self-explanatory, and the National Protection Array is of Emperor level.

In other words, using this array pattern will cover the entire territory of the Great Xia Dynasty, providing a continuous source of energy support from the nation's destiny.

"It seems I need to expedite the unification of the continents."

Chen Futu's heart stirred, and he sent a message to Bai Yujing's avatar, instructing him to send troops to the Great Western Regions to join forces with the Peacock Kingdom and the Chen Kingdom to reclaim the Great Western Regions in the shortest possible time. He ordered that they be killed if they did not surrender, until they were convinced of their superiority!

Currently, Zhuge Liang and his comrades are still fighting in the Han Hai region. After conquering the Han Hai region, they will receive another wave of rewards. Unfortunately, the Han Hai region is not easy to conquer, and they may not be able to achieve this even by the end of the year.

Inside the Jade Palace, the avatar relayed the order.

Qin Liangyu personally took command, and Li Xiuning and the four beauties also went on the expedition, leaving all state affairs to Liu Bowen.

Chen Futu felt that something big was about to happen, otherwise the system wouldn't have suddenly given him a national protection formation.

After unifying the continent, the title of Holy Emperor can be changed.

"System, view the top-secret document, 'Outer Continent III'."

Chen Futu didn't care much about the Quasi-Emperor Weapon, and he wasn't very skilled with spear techniques. If there was a suitable person, he could give the Quasi-Emperor Weapon away.

The system played the third episode of "Top Secrets of the Outer Continent" in the user's mind, still showing scenes from a movie.

This is the great battle of the imperial path as Lizhou collapsed from the Northern Region and entered the Boundless Sea.

The clip doesn't feature a human emperor, but rather the woman from the young couple on the battlefield, from the second top-secret location. Her figure remains blurry as she wields an unknown imperial weapon, sweeping across the sky battlefield. Black flames collapse within the battlefield, striking a boundary in the center, and then the earth's veins are burned, turning the land a pitch-black color—what later became the Black Sand Sea.
