Chapter 797 - 666: Yellow Sand Forbidden Land, Solution to Break the Deadlock
Below, the remnants of the previous dynasty and the demon pseudo-gods showed excited expressions upon hearing this.
They had waited too long for this moment.
From being chased out of the capital by the people of Daqian Kingdom, later driven to this godforsaken place, they lived like street rats clinging to survival.
They had suffered enough of this humiliation and could no longer bear it.
Now they could finally start anew, reclaim everything that belonged to them, with excitement overwhelming their hearts.
All they wanted now was to immediately wield their weapons and seize the border, to harshly humiliate Daqian Kingdom.
Emperor Tianwu saw the expressions of everyone and let out a cold laugh.
He, too, had waited a long time for this moment, and now the opportunity finally arrived; he would not let it slip by.
All the torment suffered previously would be repaid now; he would let the people of Daqian Kingdom know what cruelty truly means!
Emperor Tianwu waved his sleeve and said, "Everyone, get ready. From now on, adjust your states to their best. I give you three days’ time; three days later is when we reclaim everything!"
All the people bowed in unison and shouted loudly, "We obey Your Majesty’s orders!"
After speaking, everyone retreated, leaving only Emperor Tianwu.
Emperor Tianwu gazed towards the direction of the border and coldly laughed, "Marshal Liu should have sensed it already, but what of it? Even if he senses it, so what? He has no means to counter it, only a fight to the death, and the final outcome will be him being slaughtered by me."
The Celestial Human Realm is the pinnacle realm in the world, representing standing atop the mountain peak.
Once someone breaks through to the Celestial Human Realm, all cultivators across the land would feel it, which is unavoidable.
Emperor Tianwu was not afraid of being sensed by the opponent, because Xuanjing City was already too late.
He even hoped the opponent would sense it, especially wanting to see the despair in their eyes.
Emperor Tianwu calmed his heart, continued to consolidate his realm, keeping himself at his peak state.
The upcoming battle, he aimed to wipe out all the Daqian Kingdom people at the border.
...
At the border, wind and sand were everywhere, blowing painfully against people’s eardrums.
Inside the military camp, the sound of drills was incessant, accompanied by loud shouts filled with a sense of heroism.
A gust of strong wind passed, bringing along a series of wails.
The soldiers practicing suddenly stopped, lowered their weapons, and looked in one direction.
They felt a sense of shock, as if an entity not of this world was gradually emerging.
Inside the largest room, Marshal Liu sprang to his feet, threw away the wine flask in his hand, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
"Celestial Human Realm, how could there be a Celestial Human Realm!"
He found it unbelievable because, at this time, no one should reach such a realm.
But now, a Celestial Human Realm had appeared, and not far from the border.
With slight contemplation, Marshal Liu knew who had broken through.
It must be the crown prince of the previous dynasty, now self-titled Emperor Tianwu, the emperor of Great Zhou Country.
Aside from him, Marshal Liu couldn’t think of anyone else.
"If this is the case, the border is in danger."
Marshal Liu stood up and walked outside.
The opponent breaking through to the Celestial Human Realm now must have intentions, while the border is too close to these remnants of the previous dynasty.
Emperor Tianwu definitely wants to act against the border.
Marshal Liu also finally understood why there was a disturbance in the dragon vein.
This signified that the remnants of the previous dynasty had the qualifications to challenge Daqian Kingdom.
However, regardless, Marshal Liu must seize the time to assemble the army to respond to the threat posed by the remnants of the previous dynasty.
...
The news seemed like it grew wings, gradually spreading to every part of the military camp.
All soldiers who received the news went to the largest open ground in the camp.
Qin An was also present.
He frowned deeply, feeling a heavy atmosphere, tapping his finger on the Cold Star Saber’s hilt.
Someone broke through to Celestial Human Realm, which was unexpected for him.
He only needed a moment’s thought to suspect Emperor Tianwu as the target.
Now that Marshal Liu was mobilizing the troops, it seemed he planned to respond to this wave of crisis.
Qin An was unsure how exactly they would respond.
But he decided to stay here and watch to see what Marshal Liu’s plans were.
Soon, many soldiers had gathered on the field.
All their faces were solemn, deep as the yellow sand.
On the platform at the front, clad in armor, Marshal Liu walked up slowly.
Once up there, he directly spoke the main topic in a deep voice.
"Everyone, tense up. After returning, guard the border tightly, let the soldiers be fully alert."
"A mere Celestial Human Realm, nothing much, I naturally have a way to deal with it."
"It’s time to use the Myriad Army God-Slaying Formation."
"We just need to wait, wait until Your Majesty reacts; we won’t lose ground!"
Upon hearing this, none of the soldiers on site were afraid; they all shouted loudly.
"At your command!"
These people were battle-hardened veterans, who once followed Emperor Xuanwu and conquered the previous dynasty.
They had weathered many storms, not fearing life or death, only willing to give their all for defending Daqian Kingdom.
The Celestial Human Realm is strong, but they were not afraid.
As long as they followed Marshal Liu’s command, even in death, they’d die on the battlefield, with their comrades offering them a toast.
Marshal Liu said no more; after speaking these words, he waved them to make their preparations.
Before leaving the platform, he gave Qin An a look.
Qin An immediately understood, nodded slightly, and left together.
Though unsure what Marshal Liu’s exact plans were, being summoned at this time couldn’t be a simple matter.
