Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

Chapter 102 The Lord of War

Time seemed to stand still at that moment; the clouds ceased to drift, and the waves stopped surging.

As that resounding voice echoed, all the surrounding cultivators felt an immense, oppressive force pressing down upon them, and dared not move an inch.

And then, "Boom boom boom!"

A series of thunderous roars came from the sky. Looking up, a gigantic fist, blotting out the sun, was smashing towards the island with an unstoppable and terrifying force, growing larger and larger in Li Shanhai's eyes.

"boom!"

The heavy punch landed with a deafening roar, its immense power completely destroying the entire island.

"cough!"

Li Shanhai's eyes narrowed, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, which was blown into the sea by the intense energy.

"That madman Qin Song! How could he have brought out this old monster?!"

"Li Shanhai, I'm quitting the Corpse Heart Sect!"

"We're leaving too, goodbye!"

"I'm leaving!"

Apart from Li Shanhai and Zhou Xin, all the remaining Blood Sea Sect disciples on the island were annihilated by that punch. Various sounds of fear mixed with relief came from the surrounding area. The demonic cultivators used their supernatural powers and fled in panic without even glancing back.

The entire Demonic Sect's western coalition was thrown into chaos in an instant, collapsing under this single blow.

Li Shanhai emerged from the sea, his skin gradually turning gray, his teeth becoming serrated, and the surrounding seawater gradually staining blood red from him. His scarlet eyes stared fixedly at the dome: "Old monster, you've broken the rules!"

And in the heavens above, another sublime and great will had no intention of engaging in dialogue with him as an equal, simply saying in a calm voice: "Either get out, or die."

Meanwhile, "Master—is encountering resistance—a restrictive force—"

The crimson crystal in his hand also carried a message from his disciple in another realm.

Encountering resistance? Having your magic power restricted?

Would a secular dynasty dare to rebel against cultivators?

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse, with bad news coming from both sides.

Li Shanhai glared hatefully at Zhou Xin and the distant horizon, then turned back to look at the direction of the deep sea's poisonous miasma. He gritted his teeth, suddenly leaped out of the sea, formed hand seals, and his body gradually enlarged and swelled.

He transformed into a ferocious whale shark, sank into the sea, and swam towards the poisonous miasma of the southwestern abyss.

He had no way out!

Even if it means forcing his way into the poisonous miasma of the abyss and destroying all his cultivation, he is determined to reach that new world.

As he stealthily made his way southwest, he sent a message to his disciples: "Defeat them and take over Great Xia."

"He is a demon beast—"

Zhou Xin frowned slightly as he looked in the direction where Li Shanhai had disappeared.

The next moment, the air grew heavy, and a detached voice came from the north: "Guangli, you have crossed the line."

Zhou Xin snapped out of his daze and suddenly looked up at the sky: "Supreme Elder!"

The will that had just suppressed the group of demonic cultivators said nothing more, only letting out a sneer: "Heh~"

It was utterly mocking and contemptuous.

They didn't even bother to say a sarcastic remark, and then they vanished.

Everything returned to calm, and the consciousness belonging to the Northern Taihua also disappeared.

The battlefield was in complete disarray. Li Shanhai rushed into the poisonous miasma, and the group of demonic cultivators scattered in all directions.

"Elder, according to intelligence, the Demonic Sect has dispatched a force of three thousand men to the Abyss Sea."

Not long after, several capable-looking disciples came to Zhou Xin and respectfully reported.

"It's too late—"

Zhou Xin sighed.

These three thousand people were not highly skilled, which was not something the Jinglan Sect could not handle, but for a secular dynasty, it was tantamount to annihilation.

If these people were sent deep into the heart of the dynasty and hidden away, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack, making them even more difficult to deal with!

What are those secular dynasties thinking? What right do they have to refuse the protection of the Immortal Alliance?

Is it possible to disregard the lives of billions of people for the sake of supreme royal power?

Even though the Taihua Sect is arrogant, it is still willing to protect the people.

He felt somewhat helpless.

He immediately threw out a small boat, which, with the help of magic, rapidly expanded and levitated, very similar to the cloud boat that Xiao Zheng and the others had used to cross the sea earlier.

His figure flashed and appeared on the cloud boat, shouting to the disciples, "Assemble the team!"

"Let's go!"

The disciples had already prepared themselves mentally, but they were still somewhat surprised to see Zhou Xin on the ship: "Elder—are you going too?"

As is widely known, the poisonous miasma of the Abyss Sea has a stronger suppressive effect on those with higher cultivation levels, and can even cause irreversible damage.

On the contrary, those with lower cultivation levels can move around more easily.

The path of spiritual practice is rugged, and the higher one goes, the more difficult it becomes.

Even the slightest loss requires countless years to recover.

How could someone with such great power be willing to do this?

The same applies to Taihua and the demonic cultivators. Without any protective measures, they always sent their lower-level disciples across the sea first.

The loss of Zhou Xin was too high a price for the Jinglan Sect.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xin simply looked in the direction Li Shanhai had fled and said directly, "Assemble the troops and leave quickly!"

"yes!"

Before long, the cloud boat soared into the sky, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and rushed into the vast poisonous miasma.

Great Xia, East Sea.

Five days have passed since that one-sided massacre, and the air is still filled with the smell of gunpowder and blood.

The Xuanfeng Legion defeated the invaders with strange powers without losing a single soldier.

This is perhaps something to be proud of.

Even the local people and fishermen along the coast were talking about what happened that day when the cannons roared.

However, the soldiers of the Xuanfeng Legion, who were the main characters, remained silent, as if it were something insignificant. They calmly cleaned up the battlefield and silently carried out their daily tasks.

But today, things may be different.

"Waaaaah~"

A red glow emanated from the watchtower, and the low blast of the horn sounded once more.

The soldiers were mobilized in a tense atmosphere.

Ning Boxing stood on the shore, gazing towards the edge of the eastern sea.

When will these chaotic cultivators ever stop?!

But then he frowned.

The distant sea was stained with blood, leaving a trail of crimson that gradually spread outwards and faded.

At the very front of the bloody path was a colossal creature beyond his comprehension.

A huge shark, its fins rising above the water like a small mountain, its scarlet eyes gleaming fiercely in the sunlight.

What the hell is this thing?

He glanced at the faces of his own soldiers and quickly arranged their formation.

As soon as it gets close, we will open fire and attack.

No matter who the opponent is, anyone who dares to attack Great Xia is their enemy.

Pain, despair.

As Li Shanhai moved forward, he charged and tumbled wildly in the sea, his eyes bloodshot, emitting bursts of violent roars.

He was in so much pain. He had forced his way through tens of thousands of miles of poisonous miasma in the abyss that he could no longer distinguish time, the sun and moon, or even the myriad things in the world.

Consciousness felt as if it were being pulled and torn to pieces by countless hands, and intelligence seemed to be extinguished.

He gritted his teeth and kept charging forward.

He will brave the poisonous miasma and the abyss to conquer the fifth continent.

There was only one thought in my mind.

I don't know how long I've been adrift in this sea of ​​pain; every minute and every second has been torture.

Finally, it seemed to have penetrated the thin membrane.

The world before my eyes suddenly opened up, the bright sun scattering its rays onto the sea, the waves reflecting the shimmering light, exuding a touch of warmth.

Out!

He realized this instantly.

Even though his will was still enduring immense pain, and his body was bleeding so much that it turned the sea crimson, he still couldn't suppress his joy.

He didn't have time to check his current physical condition, how much his cultivation had dropped, or how much damage he had suffered.

The first thing I did when I emerged from the water and looked westward was to see the azure sky and the vast continent.

It was extremely vast and boundless.

How beautiful!

The rich, spiritual energy in the air was breathtaking.

How prosperous and thriving it would be to establish a sect in such a fertile place!

Did Yuan Kou and his men defeat the dynasty in this land?

Why haven't I sent him a message yet?

His physical condition is indeed quite bad; he can't even exert half of his strength now.

However, as he pondered his next move, he was suddenly jolted awake.

pressure!

Pressure was coming from all directions, as if something had seen him.

This world was warning him, suppressing him.

The closer they get to the coast, the stronger this pressure becomes.

His already severely injured body was now further suppressed—he no longer had even 30% of his peak strength.

Is this the kind of suppressive force that Yuan Kou mentioned in the intelligence he passed on to him?

This world is indeed strange and wondrous.

He peeked out, observing the distance, trying to see if the Demonic Sect's expeditionary force had already encamped there, waiting to welcome him.

only----

As they drew closer, what came into view was a well-ordered group of black-armored soldiers.

What happened?!

What about Yuan Kou and his men?

Who are these people?

The army of Great Xia?

What is that dark, gaping thing?

As he got closer, the shallow water was no longer enough for him to swim in.

He leaped out of the sea, concealing his true form as a whale shark. He made a hand seal and instead of transforming into a human, he became a large, striped tiger the size of a small mountain. He waded through the water and rushed toward the shore.

He wanted to swallow these living people whole.

They used these blood-based foods to heal their injuries.

But the next moment—

What happened?

But his eyes widened as he sensed something was wrong.

Meeting the soldiers' gazes, he saw not fear, but rather unwavering courage and determination. He was then pulled into a strange realm, where his powerful magical energy was suppressed.

These people were not afraid, nor did they run away; they simply stood there waiting for orders.

"fire!"

After a brief moment of shock, Ning Boxing suddenly waved his hand.

"Boom boom boom!"

With his command, countless cannonballs shot out, all hurtling towards the terrifying behemoth.

There's no need to aim; that huge tiger is a sitting duck, you can hit it with any shot.

Amidst the billowing smoke, "Roar!"

The tiger's eyes narrowed sharply, and it raised its head, letting out a deafening roar.

He could no longer use his magic, but with his naturally ferocious beast-like physique, he could still run rampant.

The small shells hit him densely, causing him some pain.

He will make those who dare to attack him pay the price!

He roared and leaped onto the beach, creating gusts of fierce wind that scattered the soldiers' formation.

"brute!!"

These monsters who cultivate should not be underestimated after all.

The cannons and muskets didn't seem to have much effect.

Even without using magic, the tiger's sheer physical strength alone would be enough to wipe out the Xuanfeng Army with each slap.

"The muskets retreated and fired in a volley."

"Mystic Wind Formation!!"

While giving orders to the legion, Ning Boxing drew his double halberds and instead of retreating, charged towards the tiger.

"roar!"

The tiger roared and suddenly swung its claws.

Just then, the heavens and earth twisted, and a magnificent and awe-inspiring divine might suddenly came from afar, causing even the tyrannical Li Shanhai to pause for a moment.

In the next instant, amidst the billowing smoke, a robust figure burst forth.

"Whoosh!"

The halberd transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the air and precisely striking the tiger's ferocious, scarlet eyes.

"Aww~"

The tiger raised its head and let out a painful roar.

He stared intently at the tiny baby beneath him.

"kill!!!!"

"Stop right there!!!"

Ning Boxing, carrying his last remaining halberd, charged towards the terrifying tiger, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, roaring as he did so.

He absolutely could not let that monster cross the coast!

Behind him stood the Great Xia Dynasty, its monarch, and countless people.

They bear the responsibility of protecting!

They are the most powerful guardians; they cannot beg others, cannot wait for rescue, and cannot retreat!

The red dragon flag fluttered in the wind.

At the same time, watching Ning Boxing's retreating figure, the soldiers behind him seemed to be infected by his spirit. The musketeers fired at the tiger, while the rest of the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted, "Kill!!"

"kill!!!"

"Charge!!"

"Defend the Great Xia!!!"

Faced with such a ferocious beast, even though a tiger could crush them into mincemeat with a single swipe of its claws, they did not flinch. Instead, they followed Ning Boxin and launched attacks against him one after another.

In that instant, Ning Boxing felt the gazes of the soldiers behind him. He felt an endless military force gathering around him. He was the leader of this army, he was the master of the army!

The mountain-like tiger before me no longer seemed so imposing.

Instead, it gradually became insignificant.

No----

It wasn't the other person who changed, but himself; Ning Boxin had changed.

He seemed to have shifted his perspective, transforming into something else entirely, something sublime.

He could feel the courage of the entire army and the will of the entire army. He felt incredibly tall and powerful, as if he had inexhaustible strength and was omnipotent.

Is this the transcendent power that cultivators practice?

Brother, your pursuit of the Dao is far more steadfast and unwavering than that of many worthless disciples in our immortal sect!

The words Xuan Gu had spoken to him while they were drinking earlier echoed in his ears.

Perhaps, soldiers can also gain extraordinary powers.

Perhaps they are also on the path of spiritual cultivation.

Their hearts are so firm, why can't they?

Whatever power it may be, let it be used to defend the country, carry out military orders, and slaughter enemy soldiers—that is enough!

"kill!!!!"

His muscles were bulging, and he roared with a ferocious expression.

"Dharma form?"

"No----"

Li Shanhai stared blankly at the giant before him, whose army of tens of millions had gathered, exuding a murderous aura, with his last remaining eye open. For a moment, he was in a daze.

Is this the [Dharma Image] or [Demon God] that a cultivator at the seventh realm can condense?

No—it doesn't seem so.

However, there was no time for him to think about anything further.

The next instant, the Heaven-Shattering Halberd came crashing down.

Inside the palace, Xie Cangrong lowered his hand.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

In that instant, Lu Junfeng felt that Xie Cangrong's aura had suddenly changed, as if he was accumulating some terrifying power and wanted to attack.

However, in the next instant, it instantly subsided.

"fine!"

Xie Cangrong shook his head, as if remembering something, and asked Lu Junfeng, "Envoy Lu, tell me about the matter related to demonic beasts."
