"Any enemy that opposes the Huaxia Empire is on a path to death!"
"The Huaxia Empire is invincible. Anyone who dares to harbor thoughts against the Empire is merely hitting a stone with an egg, adding to the ridicule."
When Zhao Long spoke these words, his body emanated a deadly aura, his expression very serious and proud.
Ye Xin could understand Zhao Long’s confidence; she had seen for herself on that unimaginably large planet just how powerful the Huaxia Empire really was.
But knowing this did not mean others did.
For example, Zhang Zide, Li Yunfeng, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Wenxuan, who were all currently looking at Zhao Long with odd expressions, wondering if something was wrong with his mind.
The Emperor Qin’s Dynasty was a force that not even the Eight-Armed Sea Clan or the Carefree Sect could openly oppose in the Southern Domain—a genuinely powerful force.
Even though Zhang Qi was aware that the Huaxia Empire was considerably strong, it still wasn’t enough in the face of the Emperor Qin’s Dynasty.
Having heard Zhao Long’s words, Lin Qian also helplessly covered his face, knowing that such statements were indeed laughable when spoken without understanding.
"Forget all that, what’s important is to enhance our strength," Lin Qian shook off the distracting thoughts from his mind, his eyes hardened with determination.
He had successfully broken through to the Life and Death Realm, and his physique had greatly improved following the Body Tribulation, ready to contribute to a stronger combat force for the Huaxia Empire. However, Lin Qian was also gradually realizing that this world should not be underestimated.
Although Lin Qian understood that in the face of the true strength of the Huaxia Empire, the entire Soul Martial Continent was insignificant. But the power he could currently utilize was still very formidable.
For example, against the Emperor Qin’s Dynasty, even though he had reached the Life and Death Realm, Lin Qian still wasn’t confident in dealing with them relying solely on the power he could wield.
If a direct conflict with the Emperor Qin’s Dynasty were to erupt, Lin Qian would face it unflinchingly and even held hope of winning. But he could foresee that achieving victory would be extremely difficult.
Lin Qian could not tolerate such a situation; if the Huaxia Empire were to act, it must fully suppress the opposition—the victory had to be a complete domination of the enemy!
Their issues with the Emperor Qin’s Dynasty had definitely been sealed, and he had to have enough strength to handle any potential situations before the conflict turned into a war.
"I must become stronger!" Lin Qian roared inwardly, very dissatisfied with the pace of his strength enhancement, remembering in his past life’s game where he had been revered as the top cultivator and had been the first to reach the maximum level among all players.

"Little Qian, what should we do next?" Ye Xin’s voice arose, interrupting Lin Qian’s thoughts.
Lin Qian took Ye Xin’s hand and started walking towards the imperial carriage, "Let’s go somewhere together, probably a new way to score performance points, but we need to see it ourselves to be sure."
As Lin Qian spoke, both he and Ye Xin got into the imperial carriage and called out to the other four.
The imperial carriage was very spacious, accommodating hundred people comfortably. After Lin Qian’s invitation, the four found their places and seated themselves securely. Zhao Long was at the front, steering nine fiery-hoofed War Horses, turning the carriage in a new direction to proceed.
As a creature of the Huaxia Empire, Zhao Long could directly communicate with the Heavenly Art Department. He could also see various system frames of the Huaxia Empire and tactical maps, receiving orders from Lin Qian.
In mid-air, Lin Qian sat cross-legged in silence, once again seeing the influence transmitted by the Heavenly Art Department.
According to the observations of the Reconnaissance Beasts, the four hundred and seventy-six of the Black Blade Fish Clan had been traveling south until they reached the edge of this space and suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
According to Zhuge Ming’s speculation, there should be an Illusion Array at that location, into which the Black Blade Fish Clan had undoubtedly entered.
The Reconnaissance Beast was not a Swift Soldier. It was the lowest level of the War Beasts, used for reconnaissance, unable to distinguish Illusion Arrays.
The rabbit-shaped Reconnaissance Beast hopped toward the location where the Black Blade Fish Clan disappeared. After entering the area guessed by Zhuge Ming, the scenery spun wildly. An invisible fluctuation surged over, and the scene turned into half a bloody rabbit body before fading to darkness.
It was not hard to conclude that there were also defensive mechanisms within the Illusion Array, which had sliced the Reconnaissance Beast in two.
Lin Qian was not planning to meddle further with this strange Black Blade Fish Clan. His target was the entire Small World. Investigating and familiarizing himself with each space was what he needed to do now.
Moreover, from the images transmitted back by the Reconnaissance Beast, it was clear that the Illusion Array was not something easily dealt with.
The journey through the air was not smooth sailing either. With Soul Beasts on the ground, naturally, there were flying Soul Beasts in the sky as well.
At this moment, in this piece of sky where Lin Qian was, there were numerous Iron Wing Birds, whose feathers looked as though forged from metal. Often, groups of more than a hundred birds would attack, charging at the Flame Hoof War Horses, their beaks open, revealing rows of dense teeth. They obviously considered the Flame Hoof War Horses as prey.
Each Iron Wing Bird possessed the strength of a Life and Death Realm, Body Realm, indicating that this trial Small World was specially reserved for the disciples of the Life and Death Realm within the original Sect.
As soon as an Iron Wing Bird appeared, Zhao Long rushed out. Now possessing the strength of the Life and Death Realm, Heart Realm, he merely relied on his fists to blast out Soul Power, shattering these birds. Black light also emerged on the bodies of these Iron Wing Birds, branding on the back of his hands, improving his performance score.
Meanwhile, on the Imperial Carriage, Lin Qian was closely observing the changes in the brands on Zhao Long’s hands. He discovered that after killing three hundred Iron Wing Birds, a mark representing a performance point could be formed.
This deduction meant that previously, at least a hundred of those beasts were needed to form a performance point.
Killing robust creatures could yield incomplete performance points. The size of the incompleteness related to the strength of the Soul Beasts, allowing them to be rounded up to complete performance points, and the incomplete performance points from different Soul Beasts could be merged.
After being pulled by nine Flame Hoof War Horses for an hour, they finally arrived at a sparsely populated area in the mountain forest with Spirit Wood, looking down at the majestic buildings below. The others on the Imperial Carriage involuntarily stood up.
In the sparse Spirit Wood forest, a series of grey and white continuous buildings was situated on the flat ground. Halls and palaces of various sizes were connected by sealed corridors and covered walkways, giving the appearance of a formidable fortress.
In front of the fortress-like building complex, a giant gate, more than ten meters high, was already open. It looked like a powerful Soul Beast opening its massive mouth, ready to swallow them.
In addition, the fierce battle in front of the fortress had caught their attention.
Meanwhile, in the midst of battle, a man in a blood-red robe looked up at Lin Qian and the others in the mid-air Imperial Carriage. With an urgent and mournful tone, he shouted, "Run, run quickly!"
