Daqin Zhentiansi

In the rush, with Cangwu Shangren at the core, the remaining cultivators from various sects in Qizhou were forced to engage in a decisive battle against the main force of the Three-Eyed Demon Clan.

This battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light.

Having lost some of their top combat power and a large amount of resources, and further weakened by Zhang Yuan's final blow, Qi Zhou was plunged into an unprecedentedly bitter battle.

The gates of Li Huo Bao Ge and Bai Cao Dan Zong suffered heavy losses once again, and the elites of Shen Xiao Palace were also killed or wounded in large numbers.

Although they ultimately managed to stabilize the situation and repel the main force of the demon race by relying on the resources of Qizhou and the presence of top experts such as Cangwu Shangren, the price they paid was extremely heavy. Their strength was severely damaged, their million-mile territory was scorched earth, and dozens of sects were almost wiped out.

Looking back at the void rift where Zhang Yuan's fleet had disappeared, and then at the devastated battlefield, the Venerable Cangwu's face was ashen. His fear and deep-seated hatred for "Great Qin" and "Marquis Qingyang" were buried deep in his heart.

……

Amidst the boundless void and turbulent currents, the Zhenhai Fleet, protected by the water elemental power drawn by the Dinghai Halberd, sailed steadily along the Guixu Passage.

Inside the bridge, Zhang Yuan, his black robe billowing, sat cross-legged in meditation. His aura was restrained, yet he was like a dormant star, containing breathtaking power.

The power of that single halberd strike that severed the Daoist Realm expert was clearly imprinted on the core of his soul.

In Qizhou, a world unaffected by the Heavenly Dao of Yongtianzhou, Zhang Yuan's power, which combined the true meaning of chaos, the battle qi of the army, and the martial arts of the hundred abysses, finally broke free from its invisible shackles and unleashed a power far exceeding that of the past!

The "Two Hundred Abyss" is a thing of the past!

He clearly touched the threshold of the "Three Powers".

That was a mighty power capable of shaking the very origin of space, annihilating the nascent forms of laws, and comparable to the mighty powerhouses recorded in ancient times.

The confrontation with Cangwu and others, especially the two simple yet devastating halberds used to cover the retreat, was a perfect practice of his martial arts philosophy of "simplicity leading to chaos".

What is destroyed is not the physical body, but the foundation of the Dao and space itself.

The mental guidance, the oppressive power of the Chaotic Star Eyes, and the sweeping of divine sense that allowed Zhang Yuan to control the overall situation in an environment without suppression, all used during his trip to Qizhou greatly tempered Zhang Yuan's soul.

The experience of defeating a Daoist Realm expert brought him insights and benefits, allowing his soul to ascend to a higher "Dao Soul" realm.

The process of framing the Three-Eyed Demon Clan and devouring the eight wastelands was a manifestation of his personal path of "bravery and diligence, and the survival of the fittest."

Looking back now, my Daoist mind is becoming increasingly clear and firm.

Several days later, Zhang Yuan slowly opened his eyes. A chaotic starry sea flashed in his eyes, and his aura became even more profound and unfathomable.

In his mind, the golden-red light curtain of the Chaos Furnace rose.

The resources gained from hunting in the East China Sea have surpassed all previous ones.

And there was also the true form of the Annihilation Star God, which condensed the immense power of the Thirty Abyss.

Such an opportunity and such a harvest could not have been obtained without going to the East China Sea.
As his internal energy receded, Zhang Yuan rose and stepped onto the bridge.

Inside the bridge, Yu Wanjun, Yin Jiuyou, Pei Lie, Lu Tianshu, and their subordinates were already waiting. The commanders of the personal guards were all full of energy and vigor, with eyes as sharp as hawks.

The patrolling soldiers beside him still bore the lingering aura of steely blood from the fierce battle and looting they had just experienced.

"Master Hou!"

Everyone bowed in unison, their voices loud and clear.

Zhang Yuan nodded: "Go on."

Yu Wanjun strode forward, his face flushed, and his voice booming: "Reporting to the Marquis! In this battle, our army's combat strength has been honed to an exceptional degree!"

"With no suppression in the Qizhou environment, the soldiers fully operated the military formation, and their blood and killing intent became more refined, making the evolution of the battle formation more agile and fierce."

"Tested in actual combat, our Great Qin army formation is fearless against immortal formations!"

Pei Lie's eyes were like swords as he stepped forward: "With the sword formation of 100,000 sword cultivators fully activated without any suppression, its sharpness increased several times over, and it was devastating."

"The power of the sword formation is more refined and swift than it was in Yongtian Continent."

The Great Dao of Yongtian Continent suppresses the upper limit of cultivators, making it extremely difficult to break through bottlenecks.

However, cultivators on Yongtian Continent have deep foundations, and once they leave Yongtian Continent, their strength can easily sweep away those of the same level.

Back in Zhengyang County, Ji Yuntang told Zhang Yuan that only by going beyond Yongtian Continent could one experience the exhilarating feeling of destroying the world with a mere gesture.

"The Shadow Guards infiltrated to investigate, set up decoys, and capture 'talents.' Those who have submitted, such as Li Huo and Ouyang Ye, have all been appeased and incorporated into the workshop system," Yin Jiuyou said in a low voice, a smile flashing across his face.

The combination of the Underworld Bureau and the Shadow Guard is the most suitable approach.

Lu Tianshu held up a book and handed it to Zhang Yuan.

"My lord, these are the registered supplies."

Zhang Yuan took the book and saw that it was filled with a dense list of supplies.

The quantity of immortal jade is in the hundreds of millions of kilograms.

The total weight of basic and rare spiritual materials such as mithril, star gold, red copper mother, and refined gold is nearly ten million catties!

Dozens of precious treasures, including the Spirit Marrow Jade Heart and the Essence of the Five Elements.

More than 7,000 ancient medicinal plants!

There are countless kinds of rare and precious fruits and flowers.

The cultivation manuals, the core inheritance copy of the Yunlan Sect, the secret record of Li Huo weapon refining, and the rubbings of cultivation manuals from various schools are piled up like mountains, enough to provide endless resources for the Zhen Tian Division's armory and martial arts pavilion.

The forty-nine precious treasures of Qizhou, including the Zhou Tian Star Chart and the Jingyue Glazed Cauldron, which contain laws or special uses, shone brightly and exuded a powerful aura.

Zhang Yuan's gaze swept over the mountain of resources and the high morale of his generals. He nodded slightly, showing little joy, as if all of this was expected.

His gaze fell upon the vast, boundless sea outside the porthole: "There are immortal islands in the boundless sea, which serve as a barrier for Yongtian Continent. Once the fleet reaches the immortal islands and returns, this hunt will be considered complete."

The group exchanged glances, their faces beaming with joy.

We're finally going back to Qin!

This means that their hunting trip was a complete success, and that the Imperial Guard's training was finished!

"promise!"

Everyone bowed and clasped their hands in greeting.
