Fear, terror, stupor, disbelief - these were the reactions in the minds of Lin Yu and his companions.
The Crown Prince of the Great Hidden had just come out of hiding, intending to make a name for himself on the battlefield.
But unexpectedly, just a few minutes after his appearance and barely uttering a few words, without revealing his true power, he was torn in two, reduced to a mangled corpse.
At this moment, Chu Yuan in their eyes, was a god slayer who killed gods that stood in his way.
Coming to his senses, Lin Yu let out a fearful, sorrowful voice: "How could this happen, the Crown Prince's power was in the top five in Great Hidden Land, unexpectedly he couldn't withstand a single blow, who on earth are you!"
"Even the Crown Prince of Great Hidden Land has died, we definitely can't beat him, staying here will only lead to death!"
The warriors of the Laws of Greatness and the Great Sheng were also frightened.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
Others may be scared out of their wits, but Lin Yu, as the commander, could not lose his nerve!
The trembling in his voice as he yelled retreat only revealed the urgency of the situation. He knew if they continued, with the power held by the Emperor of Dawu, all the top tier warriors would die in his hand.
He had no choice but to issue the order to retreat.
The battlefield descended into chaos. They had initially thought that the Crown Prince of Great Hidden Land could boost their morale like a god.
But his death brought about the greatest blow to their morale. The soldiers saw it, and then suddenly heard the retreat order. They lost all their will to fight, causing tens of millions of soldiers to be in total disarray.
At this moment, after tearing the Crown Prince of Great Hidden Land apart, Chu Yuan didn't pause.
With one swipe of his hand, under the glow of the War God's Grip, the black light of the Great Slash Technique turned golden. The warrior of the Laws of Greatness who failed to escape was cut into pieces, and then his flesh and blood were swept away to nothingness.
Chu Yuan also chased down and killed a warrior from the Great Sheng.
Under his godlike power, those who were just a half-step into reaching the divine level were too weak.
"Am I going to die too!"
Lin Yu trembled throughout his body, Chu Yuan's divine aura had already locked onto him.
In his eyes, he saw a once bright sun suddenly falling, as though dusk had descended, just like his own life nearing its end.
His senses were not wrong, Chu Yuan showed no mercy, and with a single strike, Lin Yu's body burst into a cloud of blood fog.
Chu Yuan issued the command to sweep them out!
With even Lin Yu, the highest commander, dead, the army below was even less inclined to fight.
Screams, wailing, pleas for mercy, roars echoed everywhere.
A warrior with power comparable to the divine, plus tens of millions of soldiers, were unstoppable.
After Chu Yuan had reached his divine abilities, his true power was revealed. He didn't go after the ordinary elites but targeted those who were a half-step to divinity, those who possessed the ninth and tenth levels of divine powers.
This time, the four lands of Great Hidden had a total of ten semi-divine talents. Not counting the Crown Prince of Great Hidden, four had already been killed, leaving six. Chu Yuan did not spare any of them, he executed them one by one with unparalleled speed, letting no one escape.
Divine abilities, second level!
After absorbing eleven semi-divine high skill warriors, Chu Yuan's state improved to the second level of divine abilities.
At this moment, the outcome on the battlefield had already been decided, and the curtain was falling.
What followed was the tidying up of the battlefield and the final aftermath.
Without the semi-divine masters, the four lands of Great Hidden were like a dragon without a head. Even with tens of millions of soldiers, they were just like confused ants, unable to form a fighting force, and could only be slaughtered at will.
"Spare those who surrender, kill those who resist without mercy!"
Chu Yuan's voice filled with supreme imperial power echoed across the sky, spreading across the entire battlefield.
He stood in the highest part of the sky, solemn and mysterious, and in everyone's eyes, the image of a supreme human emperor emerged. He was the Emperor of the Human Path, instilling an unlimited sense of belief in him, making people unconsciously submit to him.
Killing was unnecessary.
As long as the royal family of Great Hidden Dynasty was wiped out and the capital was captured, the war of extermination would be deemed completed.
With the prestige of his control over the Human Emperor Sword, he could gather the people of the four countries as citizens of the Dawu, and just break their armies.
In his voice, a large number of people laid down their weapons.
However, there were still those who stubbornly resisted until the end, willingly giving their lives for Great Hidden land. For these people, Chu Yuan showed no mercy, but ordered the army to kill them all.
"Your Majesty, we captured more than five million prisoners this time. A million were killed in the chaos of the previous battlefield, the rest have already fled in all directions. Should we send a large army to catch them!"
Lu Qianfu, covered in blood, came before Chu Yuan to report: "More than half of these more than five million prisoners are from the great laws of Greatness, Great Healer, and Great Sheng. We didn't capture too many from the Hidden Land."
This was not surprising.
After all, they were not fighting on their own territory. The soldiers from those three states would not fight to the death, and those from Great Hidden Land knew the terrain well and naturally ran faster.
"There's no need to, let them run. This is a war of extermination, and the few who do run will only cause chaos and damage Great Hidden Land. We don't need to deal with ordinary soldiers, they're all defeated."
Chu Yuan waved his hand, "Although our losses in this great war were not too great, let the people of the logistical department list the names of the fallen soldiers, the empire will provide them with the most generous consolation. Those who have merit should be rewarded."
"Your Majesty, the Sin Death Camp was the most brave in this battle," Lu Qianfu said.
"The people of the Sin Death Camp all wish to be freed from their status as sinners, as long as they are meritorious, they can be freed. These will be decided after the war to exterminate the country is over. Pass on my decree, reward the Sin Death Camp, let them eat and drink well, even elixirs can be provided to them."
Chu Yuan, with his command of the royal arts, naturally knew how to win people's hearts.
"The whole army will rest for three days, letting the soldiers rest, after which they will attack the capital of the Great Hidden Land." Chu Yuan, with his hands behind his back, "The battle to exterminate the country is about to start."
This battle to capture the frontier, though fierce, ended quickly, so the casualties on Chu Yuan's side were not great.
Moreover, after this battle, the soldiers' morale was greatly boosted. They were all excited and wished they could immediately attack the city walls of the Great Hidden Land capital.
"Who would have thought that the Great Hidden Land's strong border that had been confronting us for decades would be conquered so easily, and even their Crown Prince was killed by His Majesty!"
"What kind of person is our Emperor? He is an unparalleled Emperor. I believe His Majesty's strength has reached the realm of divinity!"
"Yes, under His Majesty's command, the four states of Great Hidden Land will be wiped out any day now. We will also create an unparalleled contribution. Ha ha, I never thought we would see this day."
Discussions were buzzing, and in their minds, Chu Yuan had created an image of invincibility.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that yesterday, a large number of elites from Greater Healer, Greater Sheng, and Greater Laws were moving towards the capital of the Great Hidden Land. Even the monarchs had gone. It seems they are gathering. According to the time estimation, they will gather at the Great Hidden Land in about ten days."
On the third day after the end of the border war, Lu Qianfu informed Chu Yuan of the intelligence he had received.
