I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

After re-evolving his military formation, Zhang Xianzhong immediately began a massive expansion and committed countless massacres.

Regardless of age or gender, those who do not comply will be slaughtered.

Although the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty lacked spiritual power and national fortune, and thus lacked such abundant energy, the power that the military formation could unleash did not reach its peak.

However, this was still incomparable to the army of the corrupt Ming Dynasty.

In a short time, the Great Western Army was like a raging fire, not only constantly swallowing up the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also squeezing other rebel armies, whose living space was constantly shrinking.

Even if Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and others truly joined forces, they still would not be able to contend with them.

Gao Yingxiang was brutally killed by Zhang Xianzhong during this process.

If it weren't for the fact that at that time, the dynasty had already introduced Lu Jun into the world of the late Ming Dynasty, and they couldn't stand Zhang Xianzhong's behavior of massacring cities and killing indiscriminately.

They kept causing trouble for them and kept sending messages to the rebel army and the Ming Dynasty. Li Zicheng and his rebel army would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Even the Ming Dynasty would be largely conquered, and the death toll would likely be in the tens of millions.

Even so, Zhang Xianzhong's Great Western Army survived tenaciously and even maintained the upper hand.

It wasn't until Zhu Cilang arrived that the fate of the Ming Dynasty was influenced by the Celestial Empire and evolved into its destiny, and only then did the situation undergo a dramatic change.

Celestial status, military formations, and various extraordinary powers appeared one after another, and the unrest and rebel armies in various parts of the Ming Dynasty were quickly suppressed by the Ming army.

Even Zhang Xianzhong, facing the Ming army's advancing military formations and the suppression of national destiny, could only constantly shift his battle lines.

From Shaanxi to Sichuan, then from Sichuan into Xinjiang, then westward into India, and finally into Europe.

In this process, in order to quickly improve his strength, Zhang Xianzhong directly baptized all the soldiers of the Great Western Army with the Blood Refining Method.

The Blood Refining Method was a supernatural path that Zhang Xianzhong gradually deduced and perfected after entering the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty, based on his experience of refining the Japanese people on Kyushu Island.

After being trained by him, his soldiers can quickly improve their strength by killing and refining their blood.

Furthermore, when they killed to increase their strength, they would also give back power to Zhang Xianzhong.

However, as time goes by, soldiers who improve their strength in this way will gradually become confused and their minds will become muddled.

Of course, Zhang Xianzhong did not have this drawback, because the power he received had already been filtered out by his soldiers.

However, because his subordinates' minds had become completely confused, they were unable to fight more flexibly, so Zhang Xianzhong had to take command personally.

Therefore, the number of the Great Western Army was naturally greatly limited.

At its peak, Zhang Xianzhong had only five or six thousand men. Faced with the Ming army, which could easily number in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, he could only flee continuously.

However, during this process, Zhang Xianzhong unexpectedly deduced another bizarre method.

By using the method of fusion and blood purification of military formations, controlling the military spirit with one's own will, and using the military spirit to control the soldiers under one's command, one can achieve even greater control.

Even as time goes by, his soldiers can still be controlled by him, even without forming a military formation.

It was as if his subordinates had been transformed into his own incarnations.

Furthermore, his spiritual consciousness can even descend upon these avatars at will.

However, due to limitations in their mental consciousness, the number of such beings decreased again, and at most, they could only roughly control about three thousand.

However, this is already astonishing enough. After all, these are three thousand fearless avatars, capable of freely descending with spiritual consciousness. He could easily use these three thousand avatars to form an army of three thousand.

Even if the number of troops formed by his avatars decreases again, without his mental control, he can only form a troop formation of a few hundred people at most.

However, three thousand men, each numbering several hundred, would amount to hundreds of thousands, even millions. Even against the Ming army, he could put up a fight.

However, as time went by, the dynasty's strength continued to increase, and the Celestial Empire's world continued to evolve.

In the Celestial Empire, more and more people have reached the Celestial Realm and have begun to descend upon the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

And these people, even if not all of them join the Ming army.

However, they were also subject to the control of Lu Jun and Zhu Cilang.

At times, however, they also need to help the Ming Dynasty fight.

Moreover, it's not that everyone refuses to join the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, the number of skilled warriors in the Ming army would far exceed that of Zhang Xianzhong.

Even Zhang Xianzhong himself was far from reaching the level of a celestial being, let alone his incarnations.

If it weren't for the fact that in the late Ming Dynasty, in regions outside the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty, there was a great deal of suppression against those invaders from the Celestial Empire.

The Ming Dynasty could easily send out any powerful expert to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong.

However, they cannot exert much of their strength outside of the Ming Dynasty.

However, within the scope of the Ming Dynasty's national fortune, it is possible to unleash the power of the Longevity Realm.

As for the realm of immortality, that is something Zhang Xianzhong can no longer contend with.

In this situation, those powerful beings who descended upon the world at the end of the Ming Dynasty might not be strong enough for offense, but when it came to defense, no force could possibly cause any trouble.

The Ming Dynasty thus steadily advanced, eventually destroying all the countries on Earth and forcing Zhang Xianzhong into an unnamed valley.

Of course, during this process, some Western European countries were slaughtered again, and some countries even suffered no casualties.

The final result was that Zhang Xianzhong sacrificed countless lives in this valley, creating a lake of blood.

All three thousand incarnations merged into it, becoming immortal blood lake puppets.

Zhang Xianzhong also merged into it, becoming the Lord of the Blood Lake. He was also immortal and could mobilize the power of the entire Blood Lake and all his incarnations.

After reviewing Zhang Xianzhong's career, Wang Chao couldn't help but marvel at how Zhang Xianzhong was a genius who created a series of bizarre and unorthodox methods.

If this were placed in the Celestial Empire, he would surely be a master of another realm.

The nature of the power it exhibits is similar to that of Wang Dahu.

However, Wang Dahu was inclined towards combat and killing intent, and followed the path of combat and killing.

Zhang Xianzhong, on the other hand, leaned towards bloodshed and slaughter, following the path of killing and bloodshed.

To some extent, they can complement each other, or even devour and merge.

Therefore, in this battle, Wang Dahu also projected his avatar.

The two sides may be vastly different in strength, but their different approaches and evolutionary directions certainly warrant Wang Dahu's intervention.

Moreover, if we take into account global suppression, the power of the two sides is not actually at an insurmountable level.

If Wang Dahu were to relinquish his military forces and other resources, it would be considered "fair" for both sides. (End of Chapter)
