Start from Panlong and kill through the heavens

Chapter 44: Hedson's Challenge
The retreat of the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness declared that no force in the Territory of Chaos could compete with the Principality of Baruch.

Under Rean's command, with a group of level nine warriors as the vanguard, the Principality of Baruch began to expand rapidly towards the surrounding areas.

Rean personally went into the Dark Forest and used his innate ability "Wolf King" to subdue an army of hundreds of thousands of magic wolves, incorporated them into the Duchy's army, and created an extremely terrifying wolf cavalry.

With a large number of ninth-level warriors as commanders and a powerful army like the Wolf Cavalry, the expansion speed of the Principality of Baruch is terrifying.

In the spring of the 10006th year of the Magnolia Calendar, the Principality of Baruch occupied almost half of the territory of the Territory of Chaos, more than twice the size of the former Kingdom of Finlay, and its population reached a staggering million.

And this is far from over. Sessler and others plan to occupy the entire Territory of Chaos in one go. By then, the Principality of Baruch can directly leapfrog into the Baruch Empire!

However, these are just insignificant little things to Rean. The most important thing is to improve his strength.

Two years ago, after he killed a number of powerful figures from the Church of Light and the Church of Darkness and forced the two churches to withdraw all their forces from the Territory of Chaos, he sent people to secretly search for the location of the magic crystal mine in the original book.

Knowing the approximate area, it was easy for Rean to find the magic crystal vein worth trillions of gold coins, and he successfully found the micro-dimensional space hidden underground.

From that time on, Rean spent most of his time practicing in this microscopic space.

The density of elements in this micro-dimensional space is so terrifyingly high that even ordinary people can clearly feel the various elements.

The seven elements of earth, fire, water, wind, thunder and lightning, light and darkness have an unprecedented density, and even the four major rules have become exceptionally clear.

When Rean first entered here, he was completely immersed in the mysterious laws.

The pulse of the earth, heavy...

The wind's swift fury, its gentleness and agility...

The heat and fury of the flames...

The softness and continuity of water...

In this microcosmic secret room, Li En's understanding of the mysteries of various laws became dozens of times clearer, and he could even feel several other talents that were not in his bloodline.

During the initial period, Li En was completely immersed in cultivation, and his knowledge of various mysteries was rapidly improving.

What surprised him most was that the mystery of his power and the mystery of the earth's pulse began to fit together!

Even though he only combined the double power burst with the triple shock wave, its power was comparable to the tenth shock wave!

He believed that when he combined his double strength with the hundred-fold vibration wave, the power would be no less than that of two hundred and fifty-six-fold vibration waves!

If he could wait until he could combine the thirty-six times power burst with the two hundred and fifty-six vibration waves, he felt that by then he would definitely have stepped into the realm of gods.

However, after the rapid improvement in the early stage, Li En found that his cultivation speed also slowed down quickly. After all, his talent was limited, and he could not maintain such a high cultivation speed like those monstrous geniuses.

Therefore, he only spent half of his time every month on cultivation. To him, blindly practicing seemed to have no effect. It would be better to spend more time with Rebecca and Lina, who were becoming more and more attractive.

……

In May of the 10006th year of the Magnolia Calendar, Buck's human form broke through the ninth level and reached the holy realm after transformation.

In July of the same year, Linley's human form also reached level nine, and Beibei and Heilu broke through to the Sanctuary realm one after another.

In October of the same year, Rody's human form also reached level nine. This year, Rean's side had five more powerful saints.

In the next two years, the number of powerful Sanctuary masters on Li En's side continued to increase.

The remaining four of the five Buck brothers all reached the Holy Realm after their transformations. Loki was not to be outdone and entered the ninth level in human form. Even Cyrus successfully broke through and became the Holy Mage of the Undead in the spring of 10008.

They had all entered the microcosmic space to cultivate at Rean's instruction. Buck and the others hadn't gained much, their breakthroughs merely being the accumulation of fighting spirit. Linley and Cyrus, however, had achieved crucial breakthroughs within the microcosmic space.

Especially Cyrus, who stayed in the ninth-level great magician realm for a long time, and broke through within a year after entering the micro-plane space.

With Cyrus's breakthrough, the number of powerful Sanctuary warriors under Rean's command has reached an astonishing thirteen!

Among them, the strongest beasts in the Holy Land are the Thunder Winged White Tiger and the Purple Eyed Golden Haired Ape, and Beibei, who has just entered the Holy Land, is no less powerful than these two peak monsters in the Holy Land.

Although Linley had just entered the Holy Land after his transformation, his earth pulse had already reached 128 vibration waves, and his wind-based acumen had also greatly improved. His strength was even above the peak of an ordinary Holy Land cultivator.

……

In June of the 10008th year of the Yulan calendar, Linley received a letter from his younger brother, Wharton.

He excitedly found Rean and told him that his brother wanted to marry the seventh princess of the O'Brien Empire and hoped that Rean would send someone to propose.

Rean immediately ordered the brothers Linley and Rody to form an envoy group to the O'Brien Empire. Of course, Beibei and Heilu would also accompany Linley.

Cyrus and the five Buck brothers continued their conquest of the Territory of Chaos. Now, there were only a few principalities still resisting in the Territory of Chaos, and the unification of the Territory of Chaos was a foregone conclusion.

At the end of the same year, a delegation led by Linley arrived at the capital of the O'Brien Empire.

On behalf of the Principality of Baruch, Linley proposed marriage to Emperor Joan of O'Brien, but received no clear response.

In February of the following year, Wharton challenged Brummer, the younger brother of the genius swordsman Olivia, and Wharton was defeated.

Linley took action for Wharton, first defeating Kenyon, a disciple of the Martial God Sect, and then briefly fighting with Olivia. This battle made Linley famous.

On March 3th, His Majesty Joan announced that he would marry the seventh princess to Wharton, and the engagement was scheduled for April 15th.

Of course, it was just an engagement, and their wedding would eventually be held in the Principality of Baruch.

Even when they were engaged, His Majesty Joan immediately sent someone to inform Lien and solemnly invited him to attend.

As Wharton's father and the Grand Duke of Baruch, Rean had no reason to miss his son's engagement ceremony. After receiving the news, he immediately took Cyrus to the O'Brien Empire.

With the speed of the Thunder Winged White Tiger, it only took one day to carry Rean and Cyrus to Red Flame City.

Rean arrived in Chiyan City without alarming anyone. He and Cyrus came to Wharton's mansion in a low-key manner. After many years, the father and son reunited, and naturally there was a wave of emotion and sighs.

At the engagement ceremony on April 4, Rean's appearance did not attract much attention.

Although the name of 'Hogg' of the Chaos Territory was now well-known throughout the continent, few knew he was the patriarch of the Dragonblood Warrior family, and naturally, no one connected him with Wharton.

After all, he had never used Dragon Transformation in any of the battles he had fought in the Territory of Chaos.

Just a few days after Wharton got engaged, the genius swordsman Olivia and the rock swordsman Hedson, known as the strongest in the Holy Land, had a decisive battle on the Red Flame River.

There were no surprises in this battle. Olivia was defeated, her soul was damaged and she almost died.

At the end of the battle, Hedson openly challenged Linley to a fight. Just as Linley was about to accept, he was stopped by Rean.

"Since Mr. Hudson has invited me, how about letting me fight you? You've been practicing for hundreds of years, while I've only been practicing for a few decades. It's not like I'm bullying you."
