Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Qingzhou, in the mountains outside the imperial city of Wu'an, beneath an ancient pine on the summit of a certain mountain.

Jing Ya quietly stood guard here, before her was a hidden barrier.

Within the barrier, chaotic golden light shone brilliantly, the sound of rumbling like a mountain collapsing and the sea roaring, deafening and powerful.

This was Jun Wu Xie's sixth breakthrough.

He had been cultivating here for over three months.

In these three months, he continuously broke through, from the Great Saint Realm, Lesser Celestial Completion, all the way to the current Greater Celestial Initial stage.

Breaking through six minor realms, he exhausted the four Mythic-grade Half-step Saint Emperors he carried.

All their energy was only enough for him to break through six minor realms, showing how terrifying his demand for energy was.

In these three months, most of Wu'an's important cities had fallen.

Now the five armies were about to reach the imperial city.

They were now only one city away from the imperial city.

All the way, attacking cities and seizing land, Jun Wu Xie's five talisman-armored armies only encountered some resistance at the beginning, with very few soldiers injured, and later encountered no decent resistance.

This time, attacking Wu'an, until now, when they were about to reach the imperial city, the five elite talisman-armored armies had a total of tens of thousands of injured soldiers, but the injured soldiers had already recovered, and no one was killed or wounded.

This, for a war between two dynasties of similar scale, size, and level, was unprecedented and could be called a miracle of war.

Hundreds of cities were conquered, yet there were zero deaths.

Inside the imperial city, Wu'an's Khan of Heaven was already extremely anxious, no longer having the confidence he had months ago.

At that time, he still believed that the experts from Hanzhou would come to deal with Jun Wu Xie, and he had imagined that after the experts from Hanzhou suppressed Jun Wu Xie, they would hand him over to him to deal with.

He had lain in bed in the dead of night, indulging in fantasies of how he would use various cruel methods to torture Jun Wu Xie after capturing him.

But now, all the fantasies had shattered like dream bubbles.

The hope in his heart had been shattered.

Reality was so cruel, so cruel that he could not accept it.

The armies from the cities behind Wu'an's imperial city had been continuously transferred here in recent days, increasing the number of troops in the imperial city from two million to more than four million.

Such a number of troops, for defending a city, was a very strong force, as solid as gold, and difficult to capture.

But facing the five talisman-armored armies, the defending generals and soldiers in Wu'an's imperial city were filled with sorrow.

They knew very well that they could not resist at all, and all resistance seemed so pitiful. Who could stop the five young prodigy kings in the five armies? Such fierce people could not be defeated by the army, as terrifying as killing machines!

Why fight?

This was the question in their hearts.

There was no faith, no goal, no reason to fight to defend this city.

Jun Wu Xie's army breaking through the city did not bring disaster to the city and the people, but for most people, it was the shining sun.

Only a very small number of people, such as those who bullied the market, those who bullied men and dominated women, those who were corrupt officials, those who perverted the law, those who organized forces to do evil things...

The new laws and order were only a disaster and an end for such pests and tumors.

Defending this city would keep it as filthy and dark as it was now and in the past. If the king's army entered the city, it would bring long-awaited sunshine, sprinkle every corner, dispel all darkness, and usher in endless light.

"All of you, cheer up! You are the warriors of Wu'an, the heroes in my heart. Use your courage and blood to defend the imperial city and repel the invading enemy!"

Wu'an's Khan of Heaven personally came to the city wall area, his thick voice resounding throughout the area, clearly heard by every defending soldier.

The defending soldiers were silent. Many of the generals looked at each other. Although they did not speak, they saw the resonance in each other's eyes.

Many soldiers even cursed in their hearts.

When they were needed, they stood up and said they were warriors and heroes in their hearts as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

But in daily life, when their relatives suffered unfair treatment and were bullied by certain people colluding with officials, no one came out to stand up for them.

Bullshit warriors and heroes!

If defending this imperial city was being a warrior and a hero, they would rather be bears!

Seeing that the entire army did not respond, Wu'an's Khan of Heaven was secretly angry, and kept saying impassioned words, trying to inspire morale, and even promised tempting military merits and titles.

Even so, the generals and soldiers remained silent.

"Great Khan of Heaven, perhaps the enemy is coming fiercely, and the soldiers are under too much pressure, and their spirits are tense, ready to fight to defend the imperial city, so it is difficult to relax."

A minister saw this scene, felt it was too awkward, and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over.

"Well, said well, I overlooked this point."

The Khan of Heaven took the opportunity to step down.

"Has there been any news from Hanzhou?"

The Khan of Heaven quietly asked the minister next to him.

"Great Khan of Heaven, good news, good news!"

At this moment, someone ran wildly from a distance.

"What is it?"

The Khan of Heaven had a very good premonition, his eyes changed, full of hope.

"A letter has arrived from Hanzhou!"

The man stepped forward, offering the talisman letter with both hands.

The Khan of Heaven hurriedly took it, his body trembling as he read, the expression on his face gradually becoming excited, and then he laughed loudly.

"Hahaha! Good, good!"

He immediately summoned the defending generals and the high-level officials of the Royal Academy in the city, telling them that no matter what, no matter what method they used, they must defend the imperial city for several days and persevere until strong reinforcements arrived.

He showed them the contents of the talisman letter. These people were very excited, and a raging hope ignited in their hearts.

A strong man from Qinzhou was about to arrive!

They had never heard of Qinzhou before, nor did they know where Qinzhou was, or what kind of state it belonged to.

Now, from the talisman letter, they learned that Qinzhou was actually a much higher-level area than Hanzhou, and Qinzhou had forces that even the top sects in Hanzhou had to depend on and look up to.

This time, someone from such a force was coming here to deal with Jun Wu Xie!

If the experts from Hanzhou came here, they would still have suspense in their hearts, thinking that they might not be able to deal with Jun Wu Xie, after all, there was a precedent.

But it was different when the experts from Qinzhou came.

No matter how heaven-defying Jun Wu Xie was, how could he be a match for the experts from Qinzhou?

That was not even on the same level!

The experts from Qinzhou were like eagles high above, while Jun Wu Xie, in comparison, could only be considered a rabbit on the ground, or perhaps not even as good as a rabbit.

"Great Khan of Heaven, if we confront them head-on, such a way of defending the city is a bad strategy. The best strategy is to attack the mind. The best way is to pretend to surrender, proposed by this minister, to deceive them by saying that we need to persuade you, the Khan of Heaven. In this way, we can delay time. As long as they are fooled, then delaying two or three days is not a problem. If the experts from Qinzhou have not arrived by then, it will not be too late to resist head-on. However, I believe that the experts from Qinzhou will arrive soon."

"Well, it makes sense, let's do it this way. Now, the purpose of everything is to delay time. As long as we can delay until the experts from Qinzhou arrive, any method and means are acceptable!"

Wu'an's Khan of Heaven said.

...

In the mountains outside the imperial city.

Jing Ya sat on the bluestone under the ancient pine on the summit of the mountain, her powerful divine sense clearly hearing the conversation of the Khan of Heaven and others in the imperial city, and also saw the contents of the talisman letter.

"Sure enough, the experts from Qinzhou are here. Is it the Di Yuan Sect or the Nebula Sect, or are people from both forces on their way?"

Jing Ya muttered to herself, the Di Yuan Sect had never sent anyone to the lower realm before, and had no intersection with Wu Xie, so they should not know about the affairs of the lower realm.

"The Di Yuan Sect should not know Wu Xie's origin, nor my identity. In this case, the Nebula Sect will definitely choose to be the mantis stalking the cicada, letting the people of the Di Yuan Sect test my reality."

"They're coming so fast."

Jun Wu Xie walked out of the barrier, hearing Jing Ya's words.

He had now broken through to the Great Saint Greater Celestial Initial stage, and stabilized in this realm.

"Wu Xie, let Aunt Jing take action this time. The Di Yuan Sect and the Nebula Sect are both quasi-dominant forces, far beyond what you can handle now. It is certain that the experts they send will be in the Saint Emperor realm. Especially the Nebula Sect, if they learn from the news that I am by your side, according to their assessment of my previous strength, the people who come will be much stronger than the people of the Di Yuan Sect."

"Aunt Jing, don't worry, let's see the situation then. If the experts from the Nebula Sect really assess based on your previous realm, then with your current strength, you will definitely be able to kill them with a flick of your finger. In that case, I agree to let you take action. But if it is a Half-step Saint Ancestor, I will never allow you to take action!"

"If it is a Half-step Saint Ancestor, Aunt Jing must take action even more. Experts in this realm can kill the enemy hundreds of thousands of miles away with a flick of their fingers. You have no chance to escape at all!"

"Are you taking my words as wind by your ears?"

"Wu Xie, it's not that, Aunt Jing is just..."

"Don't say it, you clearly know that your Dao Fruit is gradually awakening. In this situation, once you engage in high-intensity combat, the aura of the Dao Fruit cannot be hidden, and it will greatly increase the possibility of being sensed by the contemporary Heavenly Dao!"

"Aunt Jing knows, but what about you?"

"Me? Half-step Saint Ancestors are very powerful. Not to mention Half-step Saint Ancestors, even experts who have just entered the Saint Emperor realm are not my opponents. But they are strong, but they can't kill me. Apart from the time of the Doomsday Torrent facing the darkness, when have I ever disregarded my own life and death?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, saying: "Aunt Jing, don't always be concerned and lose your most calm judgment because your heart is full of me. A woman as intelligent and elegant as you should not behave like this."

“I…” Jing Ya didn't argue further, only lowered her head slightly and said softly, “You also know that your Aunt Jing is filled with you, so can't you let your Aunt Jing worry less…

Jun Wuxie smiled and didn't continue the topic, his gaze sweeping into the distance, then turning to look at the Imperial City, saying, “Ru Yan, Wen Ting, Jian Chen, Jian Xu, Di Hui and the five great armies are almost at the Imperial City. Just in time to take down Wu'an before those Qin Province experts arrive.”
