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

Inside the courtroom, Li Xuancang dismissed Nangong Cang from his position as Grand Marshal. Nangong Cang was at a loss for words and wanted to argue, but he didn't know how to begin.

"The Regent, the Eastern Palace Master, the Zhang Palace Master, and others are outside requesting an audience."

At this moment, Yan Fa came to report.

Upon hearing this, hope ignited in Nangong Cang's eyes, as if a drowning person had grasped at the last straw.

"Let them in."

Li Xuancang knew perfectly well what the group was up to, but he didn't care.

After Dongfang Shenhuo and the others entered the main hall, they immediately bowed to Li Xuancang.

"Greetings, Regent..."

Li Xuancang's deep gaze swept over the crowd, and Dongfang Shenhuo and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

"What brings you here together?"

Li Xuancang withdrew his gaze, his voice revealing neither joy nor anger.

The group exchanged glances, and finally, Dongfang Shenhuo stood up and spoke.

"Regent, we have come about the fall of the Azure Realm."

Li Xuancang's expression remained unchanged, and he gestured for Dongfang Shenhuo to continue.

"The loss of Qingyuan Realm is an unforgivable crime for Du Shaokun, and Marshal Nangong is also to blame. However, the expeditionary force needs Marshal Nangong to take charge of the overall situation. We urge the Regent to show leniency and allow Marshal Nangong to atone for his crimes through meritorious service."

No one cared whether Du Shaoqian lived or died, but they had to plead for Nangong Cang.

Nangong Cang and they were in the same camp, and the position of Grand Marshal of the Expeditionary Force was of paramount importance and could not be lost.

After Dongfang Shenhuo finished speaking, Li Xuancang remained silent; the entire hall was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

An invisible pressure swept over them, and Dongfang Shenhuo and the others were already drenched in cold sweat, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

After a moment, Li Xuancang finally spoke: "You can go back now. Do your jobs well and don't make me dismiss you."

Li Xuancang immediately dismissed everyone, and his words sent chills down their spines.

"regent……"

Everyone wanted to speak, but seeing Li Xuancang's icy gaze, they swallowed the words that were about to rise in their throats.

"We'll take our leave..."

Everyone respectfully withdrew, having done their utmost regarding Nangong Cang's matter.

Soon after, the imperial court made the news of the loss of Qingyuan Realm public, causing a great uproar.

"What? The Azure Origin Realm is lost! What are we going to do?"

"The Azure Origin Realm is a vital granary for the Divine Dynasty; how can it be lost?"

"What is the imperial court doing?"

The news spread quickly, and the people were filled with resentment and fear.

Food is the most important thing for people. Having food at home brings peace of mind; this is an instinct etched deep in the blood of humankind.

The loss of Qingyuan Realm, a vital granary, has caused widespread panic and sleepless nights.

Along with the fall of Qingyuan Realm, a notice was also issued.

The Divine Dynasty has already cultivated food in the Spirit Realm, enough to replace the Azure Origin Realm, so there is no need to worry about food issues.

This notice quickly calmed the public and reassured the anxious people.

Subsequently, the imperial court issued two proclamations.

Du Shaoqian fled without a fight and is about to be executed at the execution platform in the capital.

This was the first time the Divine Dynasty had publicly executed a high-ranking official of the Cave Heaven Realm, and the entire Divine Dynasty was shaken.

"The Cave Heaven Realm cultivators are powerful; why not give them a chance to atone for their crimes?"

Most people felt sorry.

The Cave Heaven Realm is large enough to cover several states; executing them like this would be too wasteful.

"What use is there in keeping such a cowardly person alive? Can we expect him to fight on the battlefield?"

Some people believe that Du Shaoqian is cowardly and should be executed to deter others and set an example for others.

Compared to the previous announcements, the news of Zhang Ruoxuan's appointment as the Grand Marshal of the Expeditionary Force caused the least stir.

Du Shaoqian ultimately could not escape death and was publicly executed in front of countless people.

Zhang Ruoxuan took office as the Grand Marshal of the Expeditionary Force and reorganized the Expeditionary Force with swift and decisive measures.

Zhang Ruoxuan was a highly decorated warrior, a mid-stage expert in the Cave Heaven Realm, and had the support of Li Xuancang. Even if the expeditionary force was resentful, they dared not disobey him.

"boom!"

A tremendous shockwave shot straight into the sky, but before it could spread, it was suppressed by Li Xuancang.

"Friend".

Sensing the familiar aura, Lei Tianjue was overjoyed and quickly arrived at Linghu Shanhe's secluded cultivation place.

Before long, Linghu Shanhe strode out of his secluded retreat.

"Haha, my friend, congratulations on your breakthrough."

When Linghu Shanhe broke through to the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, Lei Tianjue was overjoyed. He stepped forward and patted Linghu Shanhe's shoulder heavily.

"It was just luck."

Linghu Shanhe looked relieved; he had almost failed to break through and died.

"Let's go, let's have a proper celebration."

The two left quickly, intending to drink and chat.

The news of Linghu Shanhe breaking through to the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm was suppressed by Li Xuancang, and only Lei Tianjue knew about it.

The situation is changing rapidly, and Li Xuancang needs to conceal some of his strength.

Not long after Linghu Shanhe broke through, Murong Yuntian, who had been away from the Divine Dynasty for more than half a year, returned to the Divine Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the Buddhist realm refuses to ally with the Divine Dynasty."

During this period, Murong Yuntian visited the Beast Realm, the Buddhist Realm, and the Mystic Realm, and rejected the Divine Dynasty from all of them.

"You've worked hard, go and rest now!"

Li Xuancang was somewhat disappointed, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

After Murong Yuntian left, Li Xuancang fell into deep thought.

"We can't rely on the myriad realms; we can only try to increase the strength of our divine dynasty as quickly as possible."

After his plan to unite all the worlds to fight against the Abyss and the Zerg failed, Li Xuancang abandoned his unrealistic ideas and decided to find his own way to survive.

Next, we need to help Su Xinghai and Bai Meng break through to the late stage of the Cave Heaven Realm, and we also need to find a way to help the God Emperor recover.

"We need to establish a presence on the Origin Continent. If all the myriad realms are destroyed, the Origin Continent will be the escape route for the divine dynasty."

Li Xuancang's mind raced as he prepared for the worst.

At the same time, the Soul Emperor arrived at the Taiyi Sect and spoke with the sect leader.

"Soul Emperor, I can make a move, but the price is three Myriad Soul Fruits."

Upon hearing this, the Soul Emperor frowned, but still agreed.

"Can."

As long as we can kill Li Xuancang and reclaim the Immaculate Ones like Xuanlingzi, the three Myriad Soul Fruits are nothing.

"When will you make your move?"

The Taiyi Sect Leader wanted to act as soon as possible to obtain the Myriad Soul Fruit.

"No rush, I'll let you know when the time comes."

The Soul Emperor still needed to make some preparations to ensure everything went smoothly.

Beneath the pitch-black, boundless starry sky, a terrifying, unparalleled army of insectoids, capable of shattering galaxies, swept in, devouring the heavens and the earth.

They were like a devastating torrent, leaving nothing but desolation and annihilation in their wake.

At the center of the universe, in a supreme realm, a majestic voice resounded.

"The main Zerg force has appeared. Go and investigate immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, several streaks of light shot out and disappeared into the horizon.

"Regent, the Celestial Realm is under fierce attack, and the Celestials are appealing to us for help."

Wei Tianfeng came to report.

The Abyss launched a fierce attack on the Celestial Realm, which suffered repeated defeats and had no choice but to seek help from the Divine Dynasty.

Li Xuancang was torn, unsure whether he should offer assistance.

The Celestial Realm is currently mired in a quagmire of war; if it continues to invest resources, the Divine Dynasty will find it difficult to extricate itself.

However, if they stand idly by and watch the Heavenly Realm perish, the power of the Abyss will become even stronger, which would be detrimental to the Divine Dynasty.
