Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 443 Preparing for War
At this moment, Lu Ming could clearly feel the changes in his body. All his muscles were glowing, energy was constantly flowing through his meridians, and his bottlenecks were being broken time and time again. His eyes were full of energy.

The dark, secret room was now illuminated as if it were daytime.

Now, his body is like that of steel, and the inscriptions on his bones can be seen through his body.

While sitting still.

It's like a deity.

"Buzz!"

Then, a powerful surge of energy burst forth from his body, and he broke through.

At this moment, his cultivation level had reached the peak of the Saint Emperor realm.

Moreover, his physical body has also made great progress. Absorbing the energy that comes from outside, and with the Pangu blood essence nourishing his skin little by little, his physical strength is now comparable to that of a Saint Venerable Realm expert.

As for the specific level of combat capability, that can only be determined through actual combat.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to tell.

"Crack!"

As Lu Ming slowly stood up, his bones were constantly colliding, almost sparks flying out.

"call!"

When he exhaled, it was as if the space in front of him was being torn apart.

Standing still, I felt refreshed and full of energy.

Then, Lu Ming slowly walked towards the door.

"Boom!"

After the door to the secret room was opened, the scene outside remained largely unchanged. It was summer, and the surrounding area was filled with lush forests and thickets of grass.

The guards showed surprise, but Lu Ming waved them away.

Then, he walked alone towards the inner palace.

At this moment, Dayu was more peaceful than ever before, and everywhere was filled with peace and tranquility.

When his divine sense probed outwards, various images were projected into his mind.

The strength of the Great Yu has indeed improved, and many more geniuses have joined the Great Yu. Now, the number has probably reached several dozen, of course, this only refers to those within the imperial city.

And the exact number of those stationed in various places is probably quite large.

The warriors' cultivation levels are perhaps due to a lack of talent, and unlike the generals of the Great Yu Dynasty, they cannot receive powerful inheritances. Therefore, most of them are still at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, with only a portion having broken through to Daluo Golden Immortal.

However, even with such strength, they are comparable to the elites of the Primordial Clan.

If these warriors were combined with warships, as Lu Ming had already tested during his seclusion, they would definitely be able to rival those at the peak of the Saint Emperor realm.

Putting it into the battlefield would surprise everyone.

Besides these, Lu Ming also discovered that the number of humans had increased significantly, at least several times more than before, which was not surprising.

Because, after generations of deliberate improvements, those of the human race with less talent have long since exhausted their lifespans and perished.

Nowadays, people are already very strong from birth.

After reaching adulthood, their cultivation level is at least at the Celestial Immortal Realm. Moreover, the Great Yu is peaceful internally with almost no conflicts, and its population only increases, so naturally, the population has grown.

However, this is because the number of newborns has decreased as strength has increased; otherwise, it would definitely be more than that.

It's entirely possible that the difference could be tens or even hundreds of times greater.

Unbeknownst to him, Lu Ming had already stepped into the inner palace. At this moment, Yin Yue, dressed in a white dress, seemed to be gazing at something.

However, when she saw Lu Ming walking over, a smile immediately appeared on her pretty face.

He strode over and said, "His Majesty has emerged from seclusion!"

Her tone was filled with surprise.

There was a hint of relief in him, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief. "Hmm, you've come out of seclusion. Did something happen?" Lu Ming asked, somewhat puzzled.

Yin Yue paused for a moment and said, "I'm waiting for Fu Guang. He said that recently, the ancient clan circles in the Hongmeng World have started to stir up trouble again. The Ancient Scale Clan has found many forces and paid a lot of price to attack us."

"Is that so?"

Lu Ming frowned. If the ancient clans were to attack, he would have to prepare as soon as possible.

Just then, footsteps sounded in the distance, and it was Fu Guang, his face showing a hint of anxiety.

He usually consults with his mother before handling such important matters.

Now, upon seeing Lu Ming, the worry on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a radiant expression.

In fact, not only him, but Lu Ming is the absolute backbone of the entire Dayu.

No one can take the other's place.

"Is the Ancient Scale Clan causing trouble again?"

As soon as Fu Guang arrived, Lu Ming asked him questions.

As soon as he finished speaking...

The former hurriedly said, "Father, that's true. They've already set a date for sending troops, and they're determined to attack us this time."

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Notify them to attend court."

"Yes, Father!" Fu Guang replied hastily.

Then he withdrew.

Lu Ming turned to look at Yin Guang and said, "You go back. I'll return to the inner palace after I finish court."

"Mm!" Yin Yue responded and then returned to the inner palace.

Lu Ming then walked towards the Chaotian Hall.

At this time, the officials of Dayu had obviously also received the news and were gathering in the palace.

Except for a few who couldn't come due to seclusion, almost everyone was there.

After Lu Ming sat on the dragon throne.

The courtiers below all prostrated themselves on the ground.

"I have met His Majesty!"

"Rise, all of you. I've heard that the Ancient Scale Clan is causing trouble again. What's the current situation of the Ancient Clan?"

"Your Majesty, the ancient clans' army has now gathered at the border of the Hongmeng World and could launch an attack at any time," Miao Feng said, stepping forward. As the Minister of War, he was under immense pressure.

That is, Lu Ming has now emerged from seclusion.

He was still in seclusion when he first received the news.

After all, this is not just one or two major clans, but the entire circle of ancient clans. Not to mention the ancient clans of the entire Hongmeng Great World, but there are dozens of ancient clans that are closest to the edge of the Hongmeng World and the Great Yu.

The little circle they formed is quite powerful.

If troops were to be dispatched now, Lu Ming would be under considerable pressure, especially given his seclusion.

After receiving the report, Lu Ming nodded, then turned his gaze to the Lord of Tianji Mansion beside him and asked, "How many warships have been built so far, and is the entire army familiar with them?"

In this battle, warships are of paramount importance.

If the ancient tribes truly possessed treasures capable of breaking through the cycle of fate.

They all had to rely on these warships to defend against the enemy.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Tianji Palace immediately stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, the thousand warships were all completed three thousand years ago and taken away by the army. Moreover, Tianji City has also stored a batch of warships in recent years to be used as a substitute in battle.”

"Oh? How much is stored?" Lu Ming asked immediately, intrigued.
