Chapter 359 Shock Across All Sides

"Shocking! The Western Xinjiang Alliance has mobilized its entire army, intending to destroy Da Qin, but suffered a devastating defeat with heavy losses. Alliance Leader Wu Lie has gone missing!"

"Da Qin is supported by a top-tier Hegemon-level expert, crushing the Western Xinjiang Alliance Leader. The Western Xinjiang Alliance Leader may have already perished!"

"Internal strife within the Western Xinjiang Alliance during the war led to desertions by some Emperor-level experts, causing the Alliance's utter defeat. Over thirty Emperor-level powerhouses and hundreds of thousands of martial artists were all annihilated, with no survivors!"

"Da Qin is rising powerfully. Might Da Qin unify the realm in the future?"

"Li Xiaotian's strength has improved rapidly, becoming a top-tier Emperor-level expert. It is predicted that he will soon reach the Hegemon level!"

"Modern weaponry clashes with the awakened forces. Da Qin has pioneered new combat methods, proving modern power is not inferior to awakened power!"

"Da Qin has developed the latest weapon, the Dragon God Mech, possessing Emperor-level strength. Countries are now urgently seeking the technology!"

The great battle had just concluded, and the entire internet was ablaze with the latest news emerging like bamboo shoots after rain.

At this moment, the world's attention was focused on Da Qin. A contest between awakened forces and modern forces had resulted in a grand victory for modern forces!

This was beyond everyone's expectations. It was known that since the great changes in heaven and earth, with the return of awakened forces, modern powers across the globe had been on the defensive, unable to lift their heads under the pressure from the awakened.

Moreover, the trajectory of the entire world was gradually being controlled by awakened forces, with the world seemingly reverting to ancient times.

Many modern forces had already resigned themselves to fate, as the power of the awakened was too formidable. And this was only a portion of them; Heavenly-level experts had yet to awaken. Facing such a behemoth, modern forces saw no hope.

But Da Qin's victory over the Western Xinjiang Alliance this time gave many modern forces a glimmer of hope.

The combination of military might and technology was no weaker than the pure focus on individual strength prevalent among the awakened forces!

"I must say, let us celebrate! Da Qin has risen, and as a citizen of Da Qin, I am immensely proud!"

"I eagerly await the day Da Qin reunites the realm. I miss the peaceful and carefree life of the past."

"I wept. The moment I heard of Da Qin's victory, tears streamed down my face. I often complained, why did our era have to face such a drastic change? But now I no longer complain, because my country has been working tirelessly!"

On the internet, countless celebratory remarks poured in. Da Qin's victory greatly inspired the hearts of its people.

"Perhaps Da Qin's direction is correct. As for an Emperor-level martial artist, I was fortunate enough to witness this great battle firsthand. Da Qin's strength astounded me; it is the strength of a collective!"

An awakened expert commented, offering a very positive assessment.

"If, in ancient times, humanity's major powers had acted like Da Qin, perhaps the demon race would have been completely eradicated by humanity back then."

"The strength of a single individual is limited, but the strength of a collective can change everything. Why does the demon race constantly threaten human survival? It's because they have been fighting since birth; their powerful individuals are ever-increasing. As for humanity, it has become self-contained, regarding inheritance as paramount, never sharing it even if it risked breaking. If not for a group of top-tier experts holding up the heavens for humanity, humanity would have perished long ago."

"Li Xiaotian, tsk tsk, the foremost prodigy of all time. Even in an era teeming with geniuses in ancient times, a prodigy like him was rarely seen."

At this moment, the internet was filled with praise for Da Qin and Li Xiaotian. There was no sarcasm or slander. Perhaps some were inwardly dissatisfied, but they could only suppress it. At this juncture, speaking ill of Da Qin or Li Xiaotian would likely result in immediate onslaught from enthusiastic netizens.

Meanwhile, at Li Xiaotian's location, cheers erupted from the battlefield. They had won a battle they had no certainty of winning; before this, many had prepared to die.

But in the end, they triumphed, and it was a glorious victory, annihilating more than half of the Western Xinjiang Alliance's forces.

"Long live! Long live!!!"

"Da Qin is mighty! Dragon King is mighty!!"

Waves of cheers and shouts reached their ears. Li Xiaotian stood his ground, a slight sense of relief washing over him.

Earlier, when Granny Yue E took Wu Lie away, he himself was not confident of defeating the Western Xinjiang Alliance, especially since their Emperor-level numbers far surpassed his own.

However, who could have predicted that the Western Xinjiang Alliance would suffer desertions at a critical moment, with several late-stage Emperor-level experts leaving? This provided him the opportunity to seize the initiative and annihilate the remaining enemies.

It could be said that this battle was a hard-won victory!

"Hum!" A fluctuation suddenly occurred beside him, and then, a figure lay at Li Xiaotian's feet.

"I thought this old woman could stretch her limbs a bit, but I didn't expect this junior to be so fragile. Too weak."

Granny Yue E's voice echoed as she appeared beside Li Xiaotian, a hint of dissatisfaction on her face.

"Granny, you've worked hard. Thank you for your assistance this time."

Li Xiaotian suppressed his shock and quickly spoke, inwardly muttering that even if she was weak, she was still a Hegemon-level expert. Ten of him would likely not be her match.

"Da Qin thanks Senior for your help!"

Simultaneously, behind Li Xiaotian, countless figures bowed in gratitude towards Granny Yue E.

"It was merely a small effort; no need to be so polite."

Granny Yue E spoke, shifting her body slightly, her tone still icy and unenthusiastic. She looked at Li Xiaotian and continued to ask.

"If there's nothing else, this old woman will leave. Your two [daughters-in-law] are waiting for me to guide them. I wonder if they and their mother have been cultivating diligently these past few days."

"Granny, I'll send someone to escort you."

"No need. It's too slow. If it weren't for your sake, this old woman would never have boarded that iron bird."

Granny Yue E frowned, finding the iron bird slow and noisy, and she preferred quiet.

"Ahem." Li Xiaotian coughed lightly. He hadn't considered these things. In fact, the flight speed of Emperor-level martial artists was already faster than airplanes. However, being a person of modern times, he still subconsciously thought that flying was more convenient in certain situations.

"I'm leaving!"

Granny Yue E's voice sounded, and the figure before him had vanished. By the time Li Xiaotian reacted, she was already gone.

Li Xiaotian was filled with gratitude. Without her intervention this time, Da Qin might not have overcome this hurdle.

Looking at Wu Lie's corpse lying at his feet, Li Xiaotian was secretly astonished. A Hegemon-level expert, killed so casually. How terrifying was Granny Yue E's strength? She was likely very close to the Heavenly level.

"Fifteen, chop off his head and hang it on the city wall."

Li Xiaotian commanded, his eyes flickering. With Wu Lie's head, if any unwelcome sect dared to trouble Da Qin in the future, they would have to reconsider.

After all, the strongest martial artists in the world now were only at the Hegemon level.
