Chapter 672: Five Years Later
🕑 Added 2024-12-02 06:49:36 +0000 UTCAt this moment, the Black Demon standing on the small asteroid straightened up and looked toward a planet ahead.
The planet's seas were a deep blue, with a continent vaguely visible beneath the clouds and mist. Upon closer inspection, one could see a layer of hazy green aura surrounding the planet.
The planet in front of the Black Demon was indeed the Soul Martial Continent.
The Black Demon's eyes were filled with desire as he gazed at the Soul Martial Continent, longing to claim this planet for himself, driven by a strong sense of craving.
"Rise!" At this moment, the Black Demon raised his hands, his eyes filled with madness, with black mist swirling around his hands.
Around the Soul Martial Continent, there were many small asteroids inscribed with intricate patterns.
As the Black Demon lifted his hands, these patterns on the small asteroids immediately ignited with a scarlet glow, forming a scarlet chain that encircled the Soul Martial Continent in the dim void of space.
The scarlet chain gradually formed a dense and complex array, enveloping the entire Soul Martial Continent planet. Within this scarlet array, a blood-red soul light spread across the vast void, dispersing towards the Soul Martial Continent.
When the scarlet soul light touched the green aura of the Soul Martial Continent, a violent clash occurred, with red and green light clashing until they completely separated.
Yet, the scarlet light did not give up; it lingered around the green aura’s periphery, persistently searching for an opportunity.
At the same time, the Black Demon, sensing the situation with the red light, smiled. "Indeed, I was too impatient. The speed isn't as fast as I hoped, but after this probing, the intensity has certainly weakened a lot. It seems my efforts were not in vain."
Thinking of this, the Black Demon looked up at the green light on the Soul Martial Continent. With a closer observation, one could notice that within that green light, there were already many hints of black darkness seeping into the green light’s depths.
Seeing the black light within the green aura, the Black Demon's joy intensified. "Continue killing, keep killing, the more, the better."
At this point, the Black Demon seemed confident of his victory, laughing triumphantly and appearing very excited.
The joy of finally succeeding after countless years of planning was indescribable.
However, the people of the Soul Martial Continent had no idea that someone in the void of space was secretly watching their planet and scheming something. At present, they were in the midst of battle.
Rather than a battle, it was more accurate to describe it as one side being mercilessly slaughtered by the other.
When the full-scale war erupted, the combat power of the Hua Xia Empire exceeded everyone’s expectations. Whether it was the eight major human factions or the various alien races, when faced with the Hua Xia Empire's army, they felt nothing but helplessness.
The ancestor of the Jiang family, staying in the center of his clan's city, smashed everything in front of him into pieces, panting with anger. "How could this happen? Why is this happening!"
At this moment, it had been a full five years since their eight factions began their attack on the Yuan family.
During these five years, the Hua Xia Empire had demonstrated what real war was through its actions.
Every move they made was seemingly predicted by the opponent, who often managed to react in advance. Their attempts to root out spies were often in vain, as they could never find the hidden individuals among them.
However, they never imagined that the Hua Xia Empire would have scouting beasts.
Indeed, they could not have imagined that those seemingly harmless animals were monitoring their every move.
In direct combat, they were no match for the Hua Xia Empire, whose overall strength far surpassed that of their disciples.
If that wasn’t enough, the soul artifacts worn by the opponent were far superior in quality to their own.
When soul martial artists from both sides clashed, their own martial artists’ strikes on the opponent's soul armor often left the opponent unscathed.
The opponent’s so-called war beast army was as fierce as soul beasts, not only possessing formidable combat abilities but also using soul artifacts.
With the addition of the opponent’s soul cannons, the battles were extremely brutal. Often, before they could even engage close combat, their own side would be decimated by the soul cannons.
If that was not enough, what was even more frightening was that perfectly functioning formations would inexplicably go out of control, eventually falling into the Hua Xia Empire's grasp, as if these formations were their own rather than ones built by the other side.
Moreover, the opponent’s huge and peculiar warships charged recklessly.
The Jiang family’s ancestor even heard that the Holy Spirit Sect’s mountain gate was smashed by more than a dozen such peculiar warships and then flattened by soul cannons.
It was said that the benevolent Emperor of the Hua Xia Empire wanted a flat piece of land for a breeding farm, and beneath the Holy Spirit Sect’s mountain gate, there was a sacred spiritual vein that perfectly met Lin Qian’s requirements.
After five years, their eight factions, despite easily obtaining the Yuan family’s territory, still could not keep it even after paying a heavy price.
Now, their own territories were being invaded by the Hua Xia Empire. Among them, the Holy Spirit Sect was the first to fall.
The Holy Spirit Sect’s patriarch, who had retreated from seclusion, faced his former disciple Yun Jun’s Yun Fan in battle, and somehow, the patriarch ended up going to the Hua Xia Empire.
In the end, the Holy Spirit Sect announced its surrender, completely merging into the Hua Xia Empire, with Lin Qian as its master, bowing and submitting.
It was said that the Holy Spirit Sect’s patriarch, upon entering the Hua Xia Empire, was unwilling to leave and insisted on living there.
When this patriarch sent a message back to the Holy Spirit Sect, he bluntly said, "The Hua Xia Empire’s food is like clouds; I can't live without it. Surrender, after all, we can’t win. After surrendering, I’ll treat you to some cola."
Thinking of this, the Jiang family’s ancestor couldn’t help but recall the image of that Holy Spirit Sect patriarch, gritting his teeth and shouting, "That fat bastard, eating, eating, eating, from the past to the present, all he knows is eating!"
Just thinking of the Holy Spirit Sect patriarch made the Jiang family’s ancestor furious.
Moreover, having the Holy Spirit Sect patriarch as a precedent, the other six factions seemed to be also making moves.
The Yuanling Chamber of Commerce had secretly contacted Ling Tian, hoping he could connect with Yun Fan.
As the Jiang family’s ancestor thought of this, a trace of madness appeared in his heart.
I just came home and had to clean up and handle some network issues, which took a lot of time. The updates after returning home won't disappoint you; otherwise, I’ll send seeds.
