Volume One, Chapter 66: Two Unexpected Individuals

Zhang Weidong turned his head toward the speaker and was instantly stunned. The man’s scalp gleamed with oil, with only a few wisps of yellow hair trailing behind his head—it was none other than He Baldy, He Chao, from Yangcao Village.

Ding Gun could hardly believe that a handsome young man would suddenly appear seated in the very chair he had just occupied, especially with such an unnaturally calm demeanor. Besides, the windows of the room were welded shut; there was no way anyone from outside could have entered.

“Remarkable. I didn’t expect Brother Wuxin not only to break through in rank, but also to have made such strides in controlling his strength,” Pompey exclaimed in admiration, though inwardly shaken. With such power, even the highest of divine lords would find him a formidable opponent.

Yuanshi Tianzun lashed out several times, each strike unleashing the power of myriad laws, causing the Six-Winged Demon God to tremble repeatedly. All nine strokes of the Annihilation Script were brought forth, raining down upon the Six Wings. Though the demon’s divine body was formidable, he was forced into a purely defensive position, his ferocity greatly diminished.

No matter what, I have now equipped the entire army with the “Celestial Master Soldiers” unit. For now, this remains our first true military unit. Even the surrendered bandits under Dong Junshan, like our own troops, have no designated unit type.

With a dull thud, the Soul Devourer’s spirit had just entered the Mirror of Three Lights when the Star Palace Lord’s attack followed instantly, striking the heavily damaged body of the Demon Devourer and completing its destruction.

Yang Nan saw Bu Xu clearly retreating in defeat. Though anxious, he could do nothing to help; at this level of combat, rushing in would mean certain death, leaving him only to worry helplessly from the sidelines.

While Hellfire rushed to the rescue, I ordered Ling’er to unleash a Meteor Storm over the area, ensuring that Solitary Tomb would be unharmed.

Xiao Ru retrieved Qingyan from his magical artifact, and Yang Nan immediately saw that his beloved wife had indeed fallen into Li Hao’s hands. After the battle on Brocade Screen Mountain, Qingyan’s power was severely depleted; now, held by these top experts, she was as powerless as a child.

Yang Nan’s heart had already broken through the limits of this universe, granting him insight into the workings of fate. At this moment, he was one with the Heavenly Dao, and the Heavenly Dao was himself. However mighty this Divine Ranking might be, it was merely a tool to maintain cosmic order, and for Yang Nan, it no longer held any significance.

At that very moment, almost every television station in the country broadcasted the event live. People and nations across the world who cared about this momentous affair turned their eyes toward Mount Huaguo.

When these quasi-saints departed, their faces were full of dejection. They had likely never dreamed that they would become the slaves of others. For a quasi-saint to be enslaved—how could they possibly accept such a fate?

Outside the inn, the blaze had already swept inward; even the fire-starters upstairs had set the second floor alight. The entire inn was engulfed in a sea of fire, and pieces of the roof had begun to collapse.

Mu Lingtian caught a glimpse of Mingyu through the corner of his eye and shook his head softly. He was just about to reach for a piece of rabbit meat when, unexpectedly, Mingyu handed some to him. Mu Lingtian turned his head to look at her.

Of the five high-tech rewards, which included a combat suit, the Desolation Virus, and the Ark Reactor, none were particularly useful to him.

Chang Kong Xingyu was unaware that this decision of his had enraged the great powers of the Three Realms, thrusting him into open conflict with them. From that point forward, not a single mighty being of the Three Realms would come to his aid, fulfilling the doom of the Lone Calamity Star. Fortunately, thanks to Lao Zhuang’s strategy, he narrowly escaped destruction and continued to pursue the Dao.

Seated atop the back of a celestial crane, looking down, the mountains below appeared rugged and treacherous; they had already reached the outskirts of Mount Shu, the Helian Mountains.

Leading the charge was Ye Chen, clad in a distinctive bright yellow armor trimmed with red, his iron helmet topped with a tall red-tasseled spear fluttering in the wind. The yellow vest, symbolizing the honor of the Dasan Batulu, was especially eye-catching. Even amidst the chaos of thousands of troops thundering across the battlefield, Dorgon could spot him at a glance.
