General Geng Yan, the Marshal of Horse and Soldier, possessed real achievements. Could Liang Lin and Liang Fang, holding high positions of the first rank, become generals of the same caliber as Deng Qiang and Zhang Hao?
In the streets and alleys of Yun Chi City, all the common people were discussing. Little did they know that within the palace gates, all the dukes and ministers were prostrate on the ground, and even the beings of the Imperial Lineage were filled with terror.
Liang Lin!
Liang Fang!
The two, recently conferred first-rank generals, were now at the palace gates, receiving the military orders from Yun Shan. Although the divine power of the Great Heavenly Venerable was not apparent in the Yun Clan Immortal Dynasty, it directly suppressed all the beings present, rendering them immobile.
"General Liang Lin, the Eastern Remote region has reached a critical juncture. The Azure Dragon Palace is about to be destroyed, and the battlefield of the Vermillion Bird Hall concerns the southward advance of our Great Han Divine Dynasty to annihilate the White Tiger Pavilion. Generals, the Great Yin Immortal Dynasty is untrustworthy, and the Vermillion Bird Hall and the Human Realm need not be cared for. You two only need to lead the armies and conquer all the way. Afterward, the soldiers of the Yun Clan will receive them one by one!"
Yun Shan said to Liang Lin, looking at the unfamiliar faces and inwardly praising Yang Hao for gaining two fierce generals!
"Rest assured, Consort Yun!"
Liang Lin saluted respectfully, mounted his horse, and rushed out of Yun Chi City. Yun Shan watched the departing figures. Everything that was happening was within the grasp of the ministers of the military council. The territory of the Great Han was rapidly expanding. When she officially declared to all directions, the moment they surrendered to the Great Han Divine Dynasty, the Great Han Divine Dynasty would undoubtedly be powerful enough to deal with all forces. The world would be at the feet of the Great Han!
...
"Wen Yuan of the Great Han Divine Dynasty is here! Who in the Black Water Immortal Dynasty dares to fight!"
Outside the Black Water Palace City, the imperial capital of the Black Water Immortal Dynasty in the Southern Marsh, Xian Zhen, leading the Vermillion Bird Army, had completed the occupation of the western territories a few days prior. Now, commanding a million troops, he roamed for thousands of miles, arrayed outside the Black Water Palace City.
This immortal dynasty, established by the Ye Yu clan, had been entrenched in the Southern Marsh for nearly an era. The Great Han Divine Dynasty had become the first force to reach this place, and the twilight of the Black Water Immortal Dynasty was secretly approaching.
At this moment, outside the city, streaks of black divine light clashed in the sky, and the phantom of the Vermillion Bird divine beast flickered.
In front of the Vermillion Bird Army, Xian Zhen sat on a chariot, holding a military flag. Beside him was Wen Yuan! This valiant general, wielding twin maces, had slaughtered his way from the border. The maces shimmered with a faint bloody light. He looked at the ancient city walls opposite, where dragon energy surged above the gate tower, a phantom covering it, and divine power sealed. He couldn't see the appearance of the Black Water Immortal Emperor. He stepped forward and roared, his voice hitting the city's protective formation, stirring up countless divine lights that splattered outwards!
The scarlet mace light, yet it shimmered with the unique divine power of the Vermillion Bird. This was bestowed upon Wen Yuan by Xian Zhen. A general of talent must command the army, while a fierce warrior like Wen Yuan must charge into battle, beheading enemy generals amidst a sea of soldiers. The twin maces moved, with several streaks of scarlet accompanied by black divine light shooting into the sky, constantly probing the Black Water Palace's protective formation!
This formation was, arguably, the most stable protective formation encountered since the western border. It was reinforced by the emperor's aura and infused with the energy of national destiny, carrying the last hope of the Black Water Immortal Dynasty. It had repelled Wen Yuan's probes several times. Even after several clashes, it remained stable!
"Human cultivator, how dare you be presumptuous before the Immortal Emperor! I shall fight you!" A roar came from the Black Water Palace city walls. A being clad in black armor, on which intricate runes of the Ye Yu's true form flowed, and whose helmet was adorned with a winding carved river, likely representing Black Water, the place of the Ye Yu clan's rise. This being rushed out from the city walls, enveloped in black light, wielding a black pickaxe three zhang long, without a blade but with iron claws. This pickaxe was heavy and required immense strength to tear enemies apart. The being directly revealed its lower body, its four legs treading the void, constantly gathering power, the black divine light on the pickaxe growing brighter.
"You are worthy to fight me!"
Wen Yuan's expression instantly turned cold. He coldly snorted and flicked his left mace in the void. Instantly, abysses thousands of zhang long appeared in the left and right voids, blocking the center!
"Ant, you are but a meal for my clan. How dare you disdain me today? Watch as I smash you into pieces!" The being wielding the pickaxe was furious. Humans had always been food for the Ye Yu clan, a fact unchanged from ancient times to the present. Especially after the North You humans had split, the Ye Yu clan had allied with the Six-Tusked White Elephant clan, enslaving the Southern Marsh humans and raising them as food. They had become the lords of all races in the Southern Marsh, human food. How could they dare to shake the heavens of the Southern Marsh?
After gathering power in the pickaxe, the being instantly raised it and smashed it down with immense force, comparable to generals wielding giant hammers on the battlefield. Ten thousand streaks of black light, those sharp spikes, directly pierced the sky!
*Boom!*
In the void before the being, countless tiny cracks instantly appeared. Then, the surroundings began to fracture. The destructive power of the pickaxe itself pressed down, causing the void in various places to collapse. The abysses previously split by Wen Yuan were shattered by this single blow!
Despite its astonishing destructive power, on the other end, Wen Yuan thrust out his twin maces, scarlet divine fire surging, black divine light clashing. Those invincible twin maces annihilated the countless forces of the pickaxe, and its momentum dissipated. The being's body stiffened, and the pickaxe it was pushing forward instantly stopped. Terrifying divine power continuously flowed through the pickaxe and its flesh!
Suddenly!
"How can you withstand my divine power!!" The being's face contorted in terror. No matter how hard he tried, he could not push forward. In his eyes, the pickaxe gripped by both hands was covered in countless cracks, and terrifying flames ignited!
"No!!"
The divine fire spread throughout the entire pickaxe, touching his hands. The terrifying burning sensation startled him into releasing his grip. At this moment, he tried to move his feet, but it was like stepping into a swamp, unable to move. In the sea of fire, the twin maces that had shattered his pickaxe shot out. One mace struck his head, and the other struck his heart. Instantly, his physical body disintegrated, and a mist of blood splashed out! Sudan Novel Network
The cracks in space that permeated the sky vanished under this blow. The aura dissipated, and the void gradually repaired itself, returning to its normal state.
In a single move, a great general perished in the void. Heaven and earth remained as they were, only the black-armored great general was nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, within Black Water Palace City, countless soldiers trembled. The Great Han was a powerful force that had swept through the northern and western territories. Now, they were on the verge of the imperial city, and a general had fallen before the battle. How could this be?
"Humph~!"
Dragon energy roared from the city walls. A general's eyes opened, and he roared towards the city outside: "Presumptuous! How dare you, a mere mouthful of blood food, raise your weapon to stain the divine blood throne!"
