Directly engaging with the Liuyun Sect!
Yunxi wants to regain power of his land during the chaos in Dawu. This is something Chu Yuan would never allow; he will ensure all threats are nipped in the bud.
"Ding! Host selection one, War God's Grip crafting progress by 10%, current progress 80%."
With 80% crafting progress, Chu Yuan can already see eight fingers in the System Space, only needing the final two!
War is not child's play. Simply moving one's lips can trigger it, leading to actual casualties.
After all, Liuyun Sect once founded an empire, and have experts who are just a step away from reaching the Divine Abilities.
But Chu Yuan could not ignore such a threat behind him. After all, he soon had to personally fight Dawu. Otherwise, his previous battles would be wasted.
"Loyal Hero, pass on the order, the 100,000 Divine Warfare Army should choose their own partner mounts to train in the Beast Mountains these few days. In addition, Dragon Might, gather the soul-crafted beasts above, to march together."
Chu Yuan methodically gave his orders.
In the Beast Mountains, the most plentiful were wolves, tigers, bears, and birds. These were also the most suitable for the Divine Warfare Army's mounts.
Therefore, once Lu Qianfu received the command, the 100,000 Divine Warfare Army quickly became wolf cavalry, tiger cavalry, bear cavalry, and flying cavalry.
When beasts reached the soul-crafting level, they progressively opened their wisdom. Breaking through to the Original Spirit Realm, they were as clever as humans. These intelligent beasts could form formations and implement military tactics.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Beast Corps is ready. The number of soul-crafted beasts is 300,000, Original Spirit Realm beasts 20,000, and Divine Monster 526!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, 100,000 divine warriors and 100,000 mounts are ready to attack at any time!"
What a massive force!
In a broad valley of the Beast Mountains, hundreds of thousands of beasts and the 100,000 Divine Warfare Army were filled with an imposing vibe, each brimming with killing intent, prepared to march at the order of their king, who was standing on a thunder dragon in the sky.
By subjugating the purple-scaled thunder dragon, Chu Yuan could easily command the beasts.
"Loyal Hero, Dragon Might King, hear my command, march the troops to Liuyun Sect!"
Chu Yuan gave the command, and the huge dragon eye under his feet spun around. A dragon roar echoed, and the army immediately set off.
The beasts were flying in the sky, while others were running on the ground, everything was included!
Even though beasts had infiltrated the Divine Warfare Army's ranks, these beasts were suppressed by dragon might, operating in an orderly manner, without a single complaint.
Anyone who could see this army would undoubtedly be taken aback.
Especially the sight of a massive thunder dragon at the forefront of the army, with a man standing on it.
Going straight east from the Beast Mountains led to endless deep areas. Even the purple-scaled thunder dragon dreaded and did not dare approach the rumored existence of a peerless monster above God's peeking level. Only peerless powerhouses were qualified to enter.
But in the southwest direction, several tens of thousands of miles later, was where Liuyun Sect was located.
Actually, the area where Dawu was located had little to do with the southwest direction, mainly because it was blocked by the Beast Mountains, making it difficult for the army to cross.
If it weren't for the establishment of the Great Cloud Dynasty, perhaps no one would know that there were many forces there.
With all being martial arts experts, the army moved at a fast pace, covering tens of thousands of miles in a few days and reaching the southwest territory.
This region, with its complex power structures and hundreds of large or small sects.
Among these, the Liuyun Sect was undoubtedly one of the top five super sects, with a half-step peeking god sitting firmly and many God-powerhouses.
Chu Yuan immediately saw a colossal city ahead. It was as sturdy as a fortress, housing tens of millions of people. Although it was not as massive as the Imperial City of the Great Wu Dynasty, the difference was negligible.
Behind Liuyun City, nestled within endless mountain ranges, countless palaces emerged. This was their true clan stronghold.
After all, the Liuyun Sect had once established an imperial dynasty. Even though their kingdom had perished, they still functioned like a state, complete with clan rules and an imperial system. They were a anomaly that concurrently maintained both clan and imperial dynasty structures.
Chu Yuan was at the forefront of the vast army, and with a wave of his hand, the 100,000 Divine Warriors and hundreds of thousands of Beast Corps abruptly halted a few miles from Liuyun City.
"Deadly... deadly beasts! Oh my God, how can there be so many deadly beasts? Did they somehow escape from the Beast Tide of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range?"
There were also martial arts masters on the walls of Liuyun City.
While the distance was still considerable, the sight of hundreds of thousands of brutal beasts resembled a menacing, dense black tide. Suddenly, a warning sounded throughout Liuyun City.
"Oh no, not only do we have deadly beasts on our hands, but there are also many humans present?"
A Divine Ability master took to the sky and saw an army of mounted soldiers layered densely among the beasts ahead, like pieces on a chessboard.
"Quickly report to the City Lord!"
With the sounding of the alert, the city lord of Liuyun City, also one of the Supreme Elders of the Liuyun Sect, emerged. He was a formidable master with Divine Abilities.
Upon his arrival, using the sight afforded by his Divine Abilities, he strained to make out the advancing forces from fifty miles away, exclaiming in surprise, "That's the Purple-Scale Thunder Dragon, the overlord of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. What is it doing here? Didn't we already strike a deal with it at Liuyun Sect?"
"And who are those soldiers?" The city lord of Liuyun City, seeing the fluttering banners, was taken aback again. "The Divine Warrior Corps – the elite corps of the Great Wu Dynasty! What are they doing here with the Purple-Scale Thunder Dragon, storming upon my Liuyun Sect? What could they possibly be planning?"
Amidst this shock, he released a mighty roar fueled by his true qi, "Purple-Scale Thunder Dragon, Great Wu Warriors, state your purpose for intruding upon my Liuyun Sect!"
"Liuyun City is firmly fortified and hosts the main stronghold of the Liuyun Sect. Countless experts are stationed here, making it incredibly difficult to breach."
Lu Qianfu explained, "To attack Liuyun Sect is akin to laying siege upon an imperial capital. Previously, Chu Yuan staved them off for a long period using the sturdy Royal Palace and its Formation of the Great Wu Imperial City, until it finally fell."
"My usual method involves surrounding the city with numerous deadly beasts to exhaust them before a decisive strike," said the Purple-Scale Thunder Dragon.
"Could the Marquis of Loyalty have forgotten about the Divine Cannon?"
Chu Yuan looked at the distant Liuyun City, and with a wave of his hand, a thousand divine cannons appeared in front of the army, emanating a chilling, lethal glow under the sun.
The Purple-Scale Thunder Dragon's eyes contracted dramatically.
Of course, he realized what they were. Every time he initiated a beast tide, the Forbidden Army's Divine Cannons would inflict devastating damage. But when he saw these thousand cannons, he couldn't help but feel that they were different from what he was used to.
"Dragon King, these are the real Divine Cannons. The ones you've seen before were just replicas, not even a tenth as powerful," said Chu Yuan.
"Their power was only a tenth?!" The Purple-Scale Thunder Dragon gasped in surprise, "No wonder Your Majesty was so confident about waging war on Liuyun Sect."
"Marquis Loyalty, order the Divine Warriors to bombard Liuyun City for half an hour. Level everything to the ground," commanded Chu Yuan.
This was his first test of the Divine Cannons, and he was eager to see the results.
As Lu Qianfu's voice died down, mere minutes passed before the Divine Warriors standing behind these thousand heavy cannons calibrated their positions aimed for their targets. Suddenly, all laboring cannons fired simultaneously, launching the first round of Divine Cannon bombardment!
