"Escape!"
"Quick, flee!"
In the Fire Spirit Hall of the Primordial Desolate Domain, rivers of sabers traversed the void, unleashing an incomparably terrifying killing intent that enveloped the southern part of the Primordial Desolate Domain and the giant entity within.
Sharp edges illuminated the void, blood-red light emanating a chilling glint, obscuring everything. Countless soldiers of the Fire Raven clan, their true forms revealed as heads, with deep unwillingness, crashed into the sea of blood.
Beneath Ma Yuan's feet, Yun Tao, the cherished daughter of the Fire Raven clan and deeply loved by the Fire Raven Ancestor, her face stiff, her eyes wide with rage, gazed at the blood-stained Fire Spirit Hall.
"Run!"
Countless Fire Raven clansmen, their faces pale, stared at the blood-drenched Fire Spirit Hall, shouting in panic.
When had the Fire Raven clan, this supreme giant of the southern Primordial Desolate Domain, ever suffered such a tragic fate?
Their patriarch's head was severed, and the Fire Raven clan had not a single strong individual left who could save them from annihilation.
Streams of cyan light pierced into the bodies of the Fire Raven clansmen, and wails of agony rang out, tolling the death knell for this once glorious Fire Spirit Hall!
"For ten thousand years, the Primordial Desolate Domain has plundered our human territory. Countless ancient sages and predecessors have been brutally slaughtered. The Fire Raven clan is even more savage and bloodthirsty than the Blazing Flame Rhinoceros. By order of the Great Han Human Emperor, we shall exterminate your entire clan and wash away the humiliation of the human race!"
"Kill!"
Cen Peng gripped his long saber, his eyes ablaze with killing intent. The Fire Raven clan now was like lambs to the slaughter.
...
"Nine Nether Desolate Lord?"
In the Xuanzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace in Chang'an City, Great Han Dynasty, Yang Hao looked at an invitation card adorned with nine bird heads.
Among these four Desolate Lords, the Nine Nether Desolate Lord was the most enigmatic. Even the four Demon Ancestors of the Nine Nether Desolate Domain were rarely seen.
Yang Hao's expression was calm as he slowly opened the invitation. A gentle surge of vital force flowed out, revealing several large characters.
"Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body?"
Yang Hao's heart was shaken as he read the information within the invitation. This mysterious Nine Nether Desolate Lord had actually cultivated the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body and broken through to the peak Nirvana realm. Could the next step be ascension to the Venerable realm?
Yang Hao closed the invitation and handed it to Li Si beside him.
"Human Emperor, this Nine Nether Desolate Lord can indeed be considered the foremost person in the Barbarian Realm!"
Li Si shook his head. "Even the Martial Emperor from a million years ago only broke through to the peak Nirvana by borrowing the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body of the Five Yang Venerable. This Nine Nether Desolate Lord has truly planned well."
"He has resided deep within Nine Nether Mountain for tens of thousands of years without showing himself. Countless forces believed he was on his last legs, only to have him break through so spectacularly. Not only did he avoid the bloody conflict of the major powers in the far north, but he also used this opportunity to eliminate some of the forces within his own territory!"
"Oh!"
Yang Hao raised his eyebrows.
"Human Emperor, according to intelligence, the Nine Nether Desolate Lord has two sons, both exceptionally talented. As the Nine Nether Desolate Lord gradually retreats behind the scenes, these two sons have been vying for power, leading to constant bloody battles in the Nine Nether Desolate Domain and many forces choosing sides!"
"The Nine-Headed Serpent clan in the western Nine Nether Desolate Domain and the Nine-Headed Ape lineage in the east have fallen from power. A few days ago, they were exterminated by the Nine Nether Desolate Lord!"
Li Si said solemnly.
"Exterminated?"
The Nine Nether Desolate Lord broke his own limits and achieved the peak Nirvana realm, cultivating the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body. Exterminating two mere ants at the peak of Creation realm would not diminish the strength of the Nine Nether Desolate Domain by even a fraction.
"Now, the Nine Nether Desolate Lord is hosting a grand banquet, inviting guests from all directions. He intends to exert pressure on many forces across the Barbarian Realm!"
"After all, the Nine Revolutions Nirvana Golden Body is an unparalleled honor in a million years!"
Li Si bowed and said with solemnity.
"This matter is not urgent. Inform the Embroidered Uniform Guard to tell Zhang Liao to strictly guard Jianmen Pass and to always monitor the movements of the Nine Nether Desolate Domain!"
"Yes, your subordinate takes his leave!"
Yang Hao watched Li Si withdraw, then stood up. The Nine Nether Desolate Lord's breakthrough to the peak Nirvana realm was not good news for the entire Barbarian Realm.
The current strength of the Great Han was far from enough to contend with the Nine Nether Desolate Domain. Once the Sky Demon Desolate Domain, Primordial Desolate Domain, and Blood Spring Desolate Domain in the far north resolved their conflicts, another peak Nirvana expert would surely emerge!
"System, use Reincarnation Power to summon heroes of ages past!"
After four or five consumptions of millions of points, he had finally stopped at the peak Creation realm. The gap between this and the Nine Nether Desolate Domain was truly too vast.
The Nirvana realm was a chasm with each step, almost insurmountable!
"Ding! One million Reincarnation Power deducted successfully!"
"Hmm?"
Another million-point consumption!
Yang Hao smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host, for successfully summoning worldly heroes Liang Shitai and He Yuanqing, who have broken through the bottleneck of the Creation realm and reached the Nirvana realm!"
"What?"
Yang Hao was overjoyed. Although he didn't know what had happened in the far north, Liang Shitai and He Yuanqing's breakthrough to the Nirvana realm was a great guarantee for the current Great Han.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully summoning the top general of history - Guo Xin!"
The Iron-Blooded Prince of the Great Tang – Guo Xin!
Yang Hao murmured softly. His city turned white-haired, to die without regret for his homeland!
Guarding the western border of the nation until his black hair turned white.
"View Guo Xin's detailed information!"
"Name: Guo Xin"
"Dynasty: Tang Dynasty"
"Cultivation: Creation Ninth Layer!"
"Cultivation Technique: Demon Quelling Saber Scripture!"
"Accompanying Troop: Peerless Troop – One Hundred Thousand Mo Dao Army!"
Experience: During the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang, Tubo repeatedly invaded the border and occupied many garrisons. At that time, the imperial court sent Guo Xin to patrol Hexi and other areas.
Months later, the imperial court successively conferred official titles upon Guo Xin and Li Yuanzhong.
At this time, Guo Xin, the Great Protector of Anxi, and Li Yuanzhong, the Great Protector of Beiting, were still stationed in the Anxi and Beiting Protectorates, controlling fifty-seven Western Regions and the Ten Tribes of the Turks.
Later, Li Yuanzhong passed away, and Tubo quickly launched an attack, fiercely assaulting the Shatuo and Huihe tribes. In the prevailing circumstances, the Tang Dynasty had already given up control of the Western Regions, and the Protectorates of Beiting and Anxi became isolated and helpless.
Afterward, Beiting was captured by Tubo, but Guo Xin continued to lead his army, defending the Anxi Protectorate. By this time, Guo Xin's hair was already white, and many of his soldiers' black hair had also turned snow-white.
Yang Hao looked at Guo Xin's information and couldn't help but sigh. "To be able to dedicate this life to the nation, why must I be born beyond the Jade Gate Pass."
As the Qiongqi Legion continued to advance into the Sky Demon Desolate Domain, the Qilin Legion was ordered to garrison the Blood Python tribe. With the emergence of Guo Xin, it could enhance the combat power of the Qilin Legion.
"Wei Zhongxian!"
A faint voice was heard. Wei Zhongxian bowed his head, waiting quietly.
"By decree, the Qilin Legion shall be divided into three legions. The commander of the first legion shall be Qin Qiong!"
"By decree, the commander of the First Army shall be Yuchi Gong!"
"By decree, the commander of the Second Army shall be Cheng Yaojin!"
"By decree, the commander of the Third Army shall be Guo Xin, with the official rank of General An Yuan!"
"Your will be done!"
Wei Zhongxian's eyes flashed. Another hero had emerged!
