The Xuan Tian Divine City was in an uproar!
Were they kidding?
Such a dramatic turn of events was bound to shake them. The Xuan Tian Divine Lord was incredibly powerful, to the point of being unfathomable. The Sky Wolf Divine Kingdom's strongest was likely at the peak of the eighth heavenly layer of the Divine Lord realm, and with the aid of a killing formation, their combat power would have been at least at the ninth heavenly layer.
*Cough cough...*
Damn it! Even a being of such caliber was still brutally slain by the Xuan Tian Divine Lord. The Xuan Tian Divine Lord's strength was evident!
If they could align themselves with such a power, their respective forces would undoubtedly soar to new heights in the future!
For a moment... various factions began to entertain ambitious thoughts.
And what's more!
The most crucial point was that the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom was currently in a developmental phase. With its current strength, it could at least be considered a third-grade Divine Kingdom. Unifying Taiyuan Prefecture and even the surrounding prefectures in the future would be as easy as pie.
These various factions had existed for countless years, and they understood the intricacies of such matters better than anyone!
"Those who offend our Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom shall be hunted down, no matter how far!"
The King of Slaughter, leading the army of the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom, launched an unprecedented counterattack. In an instant, the elites of the Sky Wolf Divine Kingdom were routed. Not a single soldier remained to guard their hundreds of massive Immortal Ships, and their million-strong army fled in disarray, with less than six to seven hundred thousand remaining.
"Flee!"
"No, I don't want to die!!"
The experts of the Sky Wolf Divine Kingdom wailed in despair. Apart from the over three hundred thousand who escaped, the remaining nearly seven hundred thousand perished outside the Xuan Tian Divine City. Their corpses piled up like mountains, and their blood flowed into streams, creating a gruesome spectacle!
"A general's triumph is built on ten thousand bones," this scene was a true depiction of that saying, and even more cruelly ten times over!
The King of Slaughter, his killing intent permeating the air, gazed at the fleeing remnant of over three hundred thousand troops. He raised his hand but did not pursue them relentlessly. After all, these people needed to spread the news of today's events to all corners. After this battle, he wanted to see which foolhardy individual would dare to challenge their Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom again.
Looking at the corpses strewn across the ground and the rivers of blood, Ye Xuan remained unfazed. He then unleashed a torrent of lightning, his aura, comparable to that of a Divine Emperor, pressing down upon the four directions. His domineering voice then resounded for tens of thousands of miles, "Effective immediately, the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom is promoted to a third-grade Divine Kingdom. This announcement is made to all parties!"
"From this day forth, any who oppose our Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom will find the Sky Wolf Divine Kingdom to be an example! You shall all take heed!!"
*BOOM!!!!*
As his commanding voice echoed, the various factions within the Xuan Tian Divine City were struck with awe. My goodness, what a feat... a third-grade Divine Kingdom.
Who would have thought!
The Xuan Tian Divine Lord was so eager to declare their ascension to a third-grade Divine Kingdom. As Ye Xuan's voice faded, a squadron of figures approached from afar.
"Hanhai Divine Lord Zhan Hun Tian, along with the elites of the Hanhai Divine Kingdom, pay their respects to the Divine Lord!"
"Effective immediately, the Hanhai Divine Kingdom pledges allegiance to the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom, willing to expand your territory and unify the eight desolate lands for the Divine Lord!"
*Whoosh~~~*
Zhan Hun Tian's sudden arrival caused the expressions of all factions to change drastically. What?
The Hanhai Divine Kingdom? That's astonishing!
The one that had just recently annihilated the Giant Sword Sect and was now a second-grade Divine Kingdom, was joining the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom at this very moment?
Why... without any prior indication?
Could it be, perhaps, possibly...
The Hanhai Divine Kingdom had already joined the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom earlier, and this was merely a show of force!
Upon this realization!
The powerhouses of the Xuan Tian Divine City were greatly shocked. If that were truly the case, then the Xuan Tian Divine Lord's foresight was indeed profound.
Of course!
They knew that this possibility was at least eighty percent true. After all, the sudden rise of the Hanhai Divine Kingdom was a scaled-down version of the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom's rise, and the Hanhai Divine Kingdom's current action was the best example of their allegiance.
Thinking this through!
"The Battle Axe Divine Kingdom wishes to join the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom!"
"The Underworld Palace wishes to join the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom!!"
"........"
"We pay our respects to the Divine Lord!!!"
Within the Xuan Tian Divine City, the most powerful individuals were not fools. The earlier they joined at this juncture, the greater the benefits they would receive in the future. Speaking of which, their joining now would likely qualify them as 'founding members' of the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom's rise.
In an instant, the four seas submitted to the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom.
Listening to the cheers in the square, Ye Xuan curved his lips. He was not surprised by this, because... this was only the beginning!
One must understand!
The Divine Realm's Nine Trials did not simply classify a kingdom as third-grade; it required at least a prefecture.
With this in mind, Ye Xuan looked towards the various factions within the divine city, "Elder Hun Tian, receive my command!"
"Your subordinate is here!!"
Zhan Hun Tian bowed respectfully. As the Hanhai Divine Lord, his current stance already demonstrated Ye Xuan's status. Within the Hanhai Divine Kingdom, there would naturally be no one to object. Were they kidding?
This man before them was the great benefactor of their Hanhai Divine Kingdom!
"Effective immediately, expand our Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom's territory. All forces within Taiyuan Prefecture who refuse to submit shall be killed without mercy!"
Intense killing intent permeated the surroundings. At this moment, Ye Xuan seemed to have transformed into an ancient emperor, sending a shiver through everyone and further solidifying their resolve to join the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom.
"We obey the Divine Lord's decree!"
Zhan Hun Tian bowed respectfully, his heart surging with excitement. The moment of rise... had finally arrived.
This day... their Hanhai Divine Kingdom had waited for far too long!
He believed that before long, their Hanhai Divine Kingdom would be promoted to a third-grade Divine Kingdom, a fourth-grade Divine Kingdom, or even a fifth-grade Divine Kingdom and beyond, thanks to the power of the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom!
The mere thought of such a scene was enough to make one ecstatic.
"Issue my decree, all soldiers of the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom, we have trained for a thousand days for this moment! Follow me to sweep through Taiyuan Prefecture for the Divine Lord!"
Zhan Hun Tian unleashed his seventh heavenly layer Divine Lord aura, a testament to the fact that he had not cultivated within the Exquisite Pagoda. Had he done so, he would have at least reached the ninth heavenly layer by now!
Immediately, a vast army, led by Zhan Hun Tian, set out to unify Taiyuan Prefecture. Gong Cang Tian, accompanying them, would ensure that any force within Taiyuan Prefecture could be easily overcome through their coordinated efforts.
Watching the direction Zhan Hun Tian had departed, at a certain moment, Ye Xuan's figure flashed and disappeared into the void, as if vanishing into thin air, a testament to his immense power.
"Disperse."
The King of Slaughter addressed those around him. "The divine city's forces will clean up the battlefield, and the Enforcement Team will maintain order. Anyone causing trouble will be killed!"
"Furthermore, those willing to join our Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom may register at the front of the Divine Palace."
Following that, the King of Slaughter darted towards the direction of the Divine Palace, accompanied by top-tier Divine Lord-level enforcers. After all, with the recent conflict settled, their deterrence would be beneficial.
Upon hearing the King of Slaughter's words, the most powerful individuals of the various factions within the divine city's eyes gleamed with excitement. Joining the Xuan Tian Divine Kingdom, why are we still waiting!
