Super Martial Era: My Little World

"coming!"

Yang Lie suddenly focused his gaze and looked into the distance.

Two hundred thousand elite warriors, clad in jet-black armor and wielding various weapons, emerged from the military camp of the Great Wei Empire. Twenty jet-black battle flags fluttered among the two hundred thousand warriors.

"These are the most elite soldiers of the Great Wei Empire—the Black Demon Soldiers! Every Black Demon Soldier possesses the cultivation of the sixth-level Martial Golden Core Realm. Among them, the ten-man captains have the cultivation of the Grandmaster Realm, the centurions need the cultivation of the Great Grandmaster Realm, the thousand-man captains need the cultivation of the Martial Saint Realm, and the ten-thousand-man captains need the cultivation of the Great Martial Saint Realm."

"Those 200,000 Black Demon soldiers are the foundation of the Great Wei Empire. Any thousand-man squad they send out can suppress a small country. The commander of ten thousand Black Demon soldiers can easily surround and kill several Great Martial Saint level experts."

"But I'm very curious about what that Eight Desolations and Ten Demons Heaven-Slaying Formation is!"

Yang Lie watched the 200,000 Black Demon Soldiers from afar and explained to Qi Lingxian beside him. He had read the memories of many powerful figures, including King Zhao, along the way, and naturally knew a lot of information.

In the sky, a nine-headed black dragon pulled a golden chariot and flew over.

On the golden chariot sat a tall, handsome man dressed in black, with snow-white skin, shoulder-length black hair, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes.

Beside the stunningly handsome man sat a gorgeous woman wearing black shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, with snow-white skin, silver anklets, a curvaceous figure, and a captivating smile.

Yang Lie said, "The man on the dragon chariot is Shen Chengxian, the young master of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect. As for the woman's origins, I have no idea!"

With a wave of his hand, Shen Chengxian sent ten jet-black bronze pillars flying out and landing on the ground.

As soon as the ten bronze pillars landed, endless black energy surged out, resonating with the true energy of the two hundred thousand black demon soldiers. A large swath of pitch-black mist rose up, directly obscuring the battlefield.

In an instant, Yang Lie could no longer see through the battlefield, only the black mist. At the same time, his extraordinary senses constantly reminded him that the battlefield was extremely dangerous.

Yang Lie thought to himself, "That Eight Desolations and Ten Demons Heaven-Slaying Formation really looks extraordinary. I'm afraid even a Martial God-level expert would be killed alive if he entered it!"

Although the Eight Desolations and Ten Demons Heaven-Slaying Formation was extremely powerful, Yang Lie also saw several weaknesses in it. One of these weaknesses was the need for 200,000 elite Black Demon soldiers; such a large number of soldiers couldn't move quickly enough. Furthermore, they required substantial logistical support.

Martial arts experts at the Golden Core level can fight without eating, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, their combat power will rapidly decline if they do not eat.

Only Martial Saint-level experts who have transcended the mortal realm and entered sainthood do not need to eat at all. However, most Martial Saint-level experts still maintain the habit of eating, because eating spirit rice can help their spiritual power recover faster, and those high-grade spirit rice can also serve as resources for their cultivation.

"Lord Mingshan, how long are you going to cower like a tortoise? You command an army of 300,000, consuming countless amounts of military provisions every day! Do you perhaps intend to establish your own independent regime?"

Shen Chengxian looked down from the clouds at the Great Yun Empire's camp and shouted sternly.

Three hundred thousand elite soldiers swiftly poured out of the Great Yun Empire's camp, clad in earthen-yellow armor—these were the Great Yun Empire's Yellow Dragon Soldiers. The Great Yun Empire's Yellow Dragon Soldiers were equally formidable, in no way inferior to the Black Demon Soldiers.

Ten earthen-yellow dragon-shaped altars flew out and landed on the ground, resonating with the Yellow Dragon Soldiers. Large swaths of earthen-yellow mist rose up and enveloped the battlefield.

A tall, middle-aged man with a full head of black hair and an air of otherworldly refinement flew into the air and said with a smile, "Shen Chengxian, your energy expenditure is no less than mine, and the national strength of the Great Wei Empire is far inferior to that of the Great Yun Empire. You cannot outlast me! Why don't you retreat? Otherwise, if you die here, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Holy Sect will have to bury his son."

"Or you can lead your troops to break through my Ten Directions Yellow Dragon Suppressing Heaven Formation! If you can break my Ten Directions Yellow Dragon Suppressing Heaven Formation, I will immediately concede defeat and lead my troops to retreat a hundred miles away!!"

Shen Chengxian sneered, "Lord Mingshan, you are the one who can't afford to waste this time! You bring a large army here to confront me, and the entire court of the Great Yun Empire is probably impeaching you for being cowardly, holding onto your military power, and having ambitions to establish your own independent regime. How long can the emperor of the Great Yun Empire trust you? How long can your supplies last?"

Mingshan Gong smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and naturally will not listen to the slander of petty people! Moreover, I have the help of many true disciples from Tianjing Mountain, Xianji Cliff, Jingang Temple, Lingshan Sword Sect, and Jitian Sect. They will naturally tell the truth to Your Majesty on my behalf."

Tianjing Mountain and the other four major sects are the five great martial arts holy lands of the Great Yun Empire, teeming with powerful figures. Even the emperor of the Great Yun Empire must bow down to these five great martial arts holy lands.

Without the presence of true disciples from the five major sects, the Emperor of the Great Yun Empire might indeed harbor other intentions and force Duke Mingshan to attack, given enough time. There are countless examples of this throughout history. However, with the true disciples of the five major sects here, this can be largely avoided.

"I'd like to see how long your Emperor can trust you!"

Shen Chengxian sneered and returned to the black mist.

Lord Mingshan returned to the yellow mist. The black mist and yellow mist swirled in that area, remaining locked in a stalemate for a long time before both sides withdrew their troops back to their camps.

Yang Lie said, "This Lord Mingshan doesn't seem like a fool, so we might as well go and help him!"

Qi Lingxian asked curiously, "Could a general commanding troops be a fool?"

Yang Lie chuckled and said, "Of course! Throughout history, there have been quite a few fools who have become generals. Some fools have gained command of troops simply because they are senior, loyal, and have followed the right person. They are terrible at fighting, and helping such people is simply courting death."

Yang Lie, accompanied by Qi Lingxian, transformed into a streak of light and arrived outside the Great Yun Empire's camp. He unleashed a terrifying spiritual pressure at the level of a Great Martial Saint and proclaimed, "Yang Lie, a true disciple of the Immortal Pavilion, has come here hoping to lend a helping hand to Lord Mingshan!"

The next moment, Mingshan Gong walked out of the camp with a big smile on his face, accompanied by Kongchi Daoren and Gongyang Yingnan, two acquaintances of Yang Lie.

Lord Mingshan said very warmly, "So you are a true disciple of the Immortal Pavilion. I am Lord Mingshan, the Great General of the Northern Expedition of the Great Yun Empire. Your help is a timely help in my time of need. I will never forget this kindness!"

Immortal Pavilion was once a top-tier martial arts holy land that produced powerful immortals. This martial arts holy land was even more powerful than Immortal Cliff. However, it was destroyed by a coalition of demonic forces during the Great War of Immortals, and no one has walked the world for a long time.
