My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Seeing Li Xuancang's unwavering stance, Yan Fa was at a loss.

All the words I wanted to say were ultimately reduced to a helpless sigh.

Dongfang Shenhuo and his group arrived at the Imperial Palace, but were stopped by the Imperial Guards.

"Halt! This is the Imperial Palace, no approaching!"

The imperial guards, clad in golden armor, held spears and aimed them at the crowd.

If they dare to take another step, the Imperial Guard will attack immediately.

The Imperial Guards didn't care about the people's identities, and the group immediately stopped in their tracks.

"We request an audience with the God Emperor; go and report this at once."

Zhang Mingyang spoke in a cold voice.

"Wait here."

The Imperial Guards dared not relax their vigilance and remained on high alert.

Before long, Qin Shouqian arrived.

"Commander Qin, we request an audience with the God Emperor."

Upon seeing Qin Shouqian, the group hurriedly explained their purpose.

"Gentlemen, what do you need me to tell you?"

Qin Shouqian would not allow anyone to have an audience with the God Emperor.

All along, even when major events occurred, it was he who relayed them to the God Emperor.

"Commander Qin, Chief Judge Li Xuancang..."

Zhang Mingyang and the others immediately informed Li Xuancang of his actions and requested the God Emperor to dismiss Li Xuancang.

After listening to what everyone had to say, Qin Shouqian remained expressionless, showing no indication of which side he favored.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. I will go and report to the God Emperor immediately."

Qin Shouqian turned and left, but the Imperial Guards kept a close watch on the crowd, preventing them from taking another step forward.

After waiting for a while, Qin Shouqian returned.

"Go back, everyone! From now on, do not trouble the God Emperor with such trivial matters. If you cannot even handle this, then step down and hand over your positions to someone more capable."

Upon hearing Qin Shouqian's words, everyone was stunned and completely dumbfounded.

They came to accuse Li Xuancang, but Li Xuancang was unharmed. Instead, they were reprimanded by the God Emperor, which they found hard to accept.

Everyone wanted to speak, but hesitated, their faces full of bitterness.

"Sigh! Let's leave!"

The group sighed and left dejectedly.

Now they finally understand that in the God Emperor's heart, they are not as good as Li Xuancang.

The news that the group had gone to the imperial palace and returned disappointed quickly reached Li Xuancang.

Li Xuancang was not surprised by this; it was all within his expectations.

"Order the formation of the Fifth Army Corps and recruit soldiers nationwide."

Li Xuancang wanted to assemble the Fifth Legion as quickly as possible.

Li Xuancang's order was passed down, but the ruling hall and other departments used various excuses to shirk and obstruct it, refusing to fully cooperate.

Half a month later, only tens of thousands of soldiers had been recruited, a far cry from the million-strong army.

"Send someone to contact Liu Taishang and the others, and ask them to join the Fifth Legion."

Li Xuancang was furious, but he did not rush to make a move.

Since he dared to form the Fifth Legion, how could he have been without any preparation?

He had sent people to contact the human race on the Tianhuang Continent in advance, and these people would join the Fifth Legion as soon as he gave the order.

"The Marquis's order has arrived: immediately have all disciples of the sect join the Fifth Legion."

The Bixisi, Xuanxin Sect, Shenwu Gate, Tianlang Mountain, Xuanming Palace, and other forces immediately dispatched their disciples to join the Fifth Legion.

Everyone there was an ambitious person.

After arriving in the Land of Abandoned Heaven, he tried every means to become stronger and break through his cultivation level, but unfortunately he had no way to do so.

Now that Li Xuancang holds a high position, he extends an olive branch to everyone, and they eagerly respond.

Meanwhile, news of the Fifth Legion's recruitment efforts spread throughout the Holy Temple.

"The Fifth Legion is newly established and needs manpower at this time; this is our opportunity."

"Join the Fifth Legion, fight on the front lines, and make a name for yourself."

"Cultivation cannot be done in isolation; only through life-or-death battles can one achieve breakthroughs more quickly."

"..."

The Holy Court is under the control of the Inquisition, and other forces have little chance of interfering.

Many disciples, eager to make a name for themselves, joined the Fifth Legion.

At the same time, the Fifth Legion also recruited soldiers in the Great World controlled by the Divine Dynasty, and formed an army of one million in three months.

Tai Haotian was appointed Marshal of the Fifth Army Corps, and despite strong opposition from many, they could not stop him.

"Greetings, Marshal..."

The soldiers below saluted Taihaotian, their voices shattering the clouds and shaking the capital.

Looking at the soldiers below the stage, Tai Haotian felt a mix of emotions.

He himself never imagined that he would have the opportunity to step out of the courtroom and take command of an army.

Tai Haotian felt a moment of disorientation, as if he had returned to the glorious years when he led his army to conquer the south and north, full of vigor and ambition.

Back then, he was full of confidence and ambition, and he had high hopes for the future.

"boom!"

Unbeknownst to him, Tai Haotian's state of mind underwent a silent transformation, and his aura also rose accordingly.

"This is about to be a breakthrough."

Many people came to watch, and they were all shocked to see Tai Haotian in such a strange state.

The expressions of Dongfang Shenhuo and the others changed drastically; this was a sign that Tai Haotian was about to break through.

"No, we can't let him break through."

Everyone believed that Taihaotian harbored resentment towards the Divine Dynasty and would definitely take revenge on it.

If he were to break through to the mid-stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, it would be a disaster for the Divine Dynasty.

"Stop! Stop him from breaking through!"

Dongfang Shenhuo and the others were extremely anxious and disregarded everything else, so they hurriedly took action to interrupt Tai Haotian's breakthrough.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone flew forward, before they even got close to Taihaotian, a power that could scare away gods and demons and terrify heaven and earth suddenly descended.

"puff……"

This force was extremely domineering, sweeping across the entire area. Dongfang Shenhuo and others were impacted and coughed up blood.

"How is that possible?"

Everyone was horrified, their pupils dilating in shock.

The sheer pressure was enough to injure them, something they found hard to believe and even harder to accept.

"If you dare to make any further moves, I'll kill you all."

Li Xuancang's authoritative and indifferent voice rang in everyone's ears.

Everyone's bodies trembled involuntarily, as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.

"How is this possible? How is this possible?"

Why is Li Xuancang so powerful?

"Has his cultivation level broken through again?"

"..."

With a single wisp of oppressive aura, everyone was rendered immobile. Li Xuancang's strength terrified them, leaving them unable to muster any will to resist.

They couldn't understand why Li Xuancang had made such a dramatic improvement in such a short period of time.

Li Xuancang cultivated the "Undying Scripture," and his combat power increased by leaps and bounds.

More than half a year has passed since the last great battle, and his strength has gradually increased. Compared to the last battle, he has undergone a complete transformation, and suppressing everyone is now as easy as turning his hand.

Li Xuancang stopped them, and the others were unable to interfere with Tai Haotian's breakthrough.

Seven days and seven nights later, Taihaotian's aura reached its peak, like the Yellow River bursting its banks, breaking through all constraints with unstoppable force.

"boom!"

His aura was like the blazing sun, soaring straight into the heavens, breaking through the darkness and reaching beyond the sky.

"This means a powerful individual has broken through."

The people of the capital felt this aura, and their expressions all changed, followed by wild joy.

"Hahaha, a powerful figure from the Divine Dynasty has broken through! Congratulations!"

The people and the divine dynasty share the same fate, and the stronger the divine dynasty is, the safer they will be.

The people were genuinely happy when a powerful figure in the Divine Dynasty broke through to a higher realm.
