Two options once again presented themselves before Chu Yuan, this time with an extremely generous reward. No matter the choice he made, he would gain a divine ability derived from the three thousand great truths.
"What you said is right, the Dragon Wei King has indeed pledged allegiance to me."
Chu Yuan ruled the world, although Yun Xi was a demi-god who once ruled as emperor, his aura was suppressed by Chu Yuan.
"What an overwhelming aura!"
Feeling this forceful presence, though Yun Xi didn't understand why the Purple-scaled Thunder Dragon suddenly pledged allegiance to Dawu, his heart was filled with extreme dread for Chu Yuan, ask calmly, "Dawu Emperor, what exactly do you wish to do today?"
"Destroy the Liuyun Sect."
Chu Yuan spoke only five words, but those words were incredibly ruthless.
He had decided not to subjugate these higher-ups.
"What? You wish to destroy my Liuyun Sect?" Yun Xi was greatly shocked, "When I established the Great Yun Imperial Dynasty, even though nations were extinguished, none were destroyed, and I returned with numerous benefits. You wish to destroy my Liuyun Sect? You delusional fools!"
"That's only because you haven't faced me yet, I will be your doomsday." Chu Yuan waved his hand and the surging aura condensed into the flag of Dawu, defying heaven, he fiercely declared: "Those who offend Dawu, no matter how far, must be punished. Today, I will flatten the Liuyun Sect!"
"Those who offend Dawu, no matter how far, must be punished!"
The hundred thousand-strong army roars in unison, making an intense display.
A brutal battle was about to commence. Upon receiving the command, Lu Qianfu, a true leader of soldiers, saw the hundred thousand-strong army form into a formation like an iron chain advancing from this side of the horizon.
From afar, the battle formation of Dawu resembled a single character, pushing horizontally.
"A hundred thousand soldiers, all in the Soul-Forging Realm!"
Yun Xi suddenly felt the power of the Divine Army of Dawu, and his complexion dramatically changed. In the army, those in the Soul-Forging Realm could be considered middle-tier, but now, the weakest of the approaching army was in the Soul-Forging realm.
Even the Great Yun Imperial Dynasty he once established didn't have this many Soul-Forging experts.
"All of the fierce beasts are also at the Soul-Forging realm or higher!" Yun Xi was once again shocked and said through gritted teeth, "You, Purple-scaled Thunder Dragon, dare to mobilize all your elites, what on earth are you thinking!"
This was equivalent to hundreds of thousands of Soul-Forging experts attacking his Liuyun Sect!
Most crucially, their fort had been completely razed to the ground after an assault lasting half an hour!
"Dawu Emperor, let's discuss this peacefully. Even if your entire army consists of elites, to forcefully assault my Liuyun sect, you would need to pay the price in blood. I can offer you compensation and promise never to set foot in Dawu territory!"
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of Soul-Forging soldiers coming over the horizon, Yun Xi felt his scalp tingling.
"We have nothing to talk about, let this battle declare the final outcome."
"You!" Yun Xi replied angrily, "You think you can knead my Liuyun Sect into any shape you want? Fine, then I shall fight to the death with you, we'll see who gets the last laugh!"
"Kill, kill, kill!" Yun Xi shouted.
Immediately accompanied by his roar, the gateway to the Liuyun Sect hidden behind the ruins opened suddenly. In an instant, millions of well-trained soldiers in armor, like rolling tides, rushed to meet the enemy head-on.
The Liuyun Sect was once the ruler of an imperial dynasty, their army was well-trained. Yun Xi had also been preparing to create an army to become the lord of all under heaven amidst the chaos in Dawu.
These millions of soldiers were just a part of their forces.
There were also tens of thousands of strong faction experts who came out to fight, each of them elites, and many were above the Primordial Spirit Realm.
The battle was about to break out. The contact between the two armies happened in an instant. The armor of the Divine Army was pitch black, whereas the Liuyun Sect's was a silvery color. It was immediately apparent that two completely differently colored currents were clashing together.
If assessing by the numbers in the Soul-Forging Realm, naturally, Chu Yuan's miscellaneous giant army held the upper hand.
However, after all, this was the Liuyun Sect's lair, which occupied a geographical advantage.
Therefore, the instant they engaged in battle, a surge of vigor and blood energy shot towards the sky. All sorts of chaotic fights came together; an intense battlefield was formed. In an instant, there were many soldiers on both sides who fell in the pools of blood beneath them.
Chu Yuan's expression was calm, even though among those who fell were his Divine Army.
But war was not child's play; it truly demanded lives.
If one couldn't even bear this cruelty, how would they face a more bloody war.
"Break apart the Divine Army, it's just a hundred thousand soldiers!"
A powerful man from the Liuyun Sect shouted. When comparing the number of soldiers, naturally, they had more. But Chu Yuan had the War Army Chessboard. In his mind, the compass of heaven and earth emerged, and he turned the hundred thousand soldiers into one entity.
At this moment, a squad of five thousand soldiers emerged, their armor bearing the color of roving clouds, and each carrying a long spear. The strength of every soldier had reached the tenth level of the Soul-Forging Realm.
The moment these five thousand entered the battlefield, each individual's strength was incredibly powerful, and they were incredibly coordinated, causing a fierce massacre in the ranks. Many fierce beasts fell beneath them.
"Liuyun Guards! The most elite guards of the Great Yun Empire back in the day, stop them!"
Lu Qianfu shouted. Every kingdom has its trump card; just like the most elite corps of Dawu was the Divine Army, the Liuyun Sect had the Liuyun Guards. Even though decades have passed, their strength was even stronger than before.
"Lu Qianfu, I've heard about you back in the day, a valiant character indeed!"
The man leading the five thousand Liuyun Guards was a middle-aged man with a cold expression. His cultivation had astonishingly reached the tenth level of the Divine Realm. Wielding a long spear with the might of a dragon, in an instant, dozens of beasts and soldiers were struck and killed.
"The Great General of the Great Yun Empire, also known as the War God of Great Yun back in the day, Fang Lei!"
Troop to troop, general to general, when Lu Qianfu saw Fang Lei, he suddenly burst forth with a wave of combat spirit. "Good, I've heard about your fame back in the day. It's a pity that I didn't get the chance to fight you. Fang Lei, take my blow, unite person and blade as one!"
Lu Qianfu instantly erupted in a golden blade light while his entire soul fused with his Fragmentation Knife, making an indistinguishable strike.
The two commanders clashed instantly.
On the other end of the battlefield, Yun Xi sneered, "So, Dawu Emperor, have you witnessed the power of my Liuyun Sect? Don't think that with the help of the Purple-scaled Thunder Dragon you can destroy my Liuyun Sect. You're being far too optimistic. My Liuyun Sect also has its heritage!"
"Your strength hasn't let me down. If you weren't strong, then what would my Divine Army use to train with?"
Unexpectedly, watching the intense battle taking place, Chu Yuan hadn't shown a change in color.
Upon hearing Chu Yuan's wildly arrogant words, Yun Xi's face twisted in anger, "Thinking of using my great army to train, great! I want to see how many lives you have to spare for training. Today, I'm going to make your hundred thousand Divine Soldiers suffer heavy losses!"
Yun Xi roared. This time, the Liuyun Sect had mobilized all its forces, even the heritage of its sect.
"Yun Xi, fight me," declared Chu Yuan, taking one step and leaving the head of the Purple-scaled Thunder Dragon. In an instant, he was already in the midst of the battlefield.
