Become a king right from the start, beginning with receiving rewards from all the heavens.

On the streets of Guangping City, people showed no signs of war.

However, with the sudden appearance of an army in the sky, this peaceful and tranquil city was instantly thrown into panic.

Inside the governor's mansion, the governor, who had just woken up from his seclusion, roared with a ferocious expression.

"What's going on? Why has the Great Xia army crossed dozens of states to arrive here?"

The people below all lowered their heads and remained silent.

That's a really poor question.

Everyone knows that the entire Heavenly Punishment Army is at the Purple Mansion Realm, making it easy for them to descend upon this place.

The governor knew that his anger at that moment was simply a desperate attempt to find a cure.

At this moment, someone below looked up and said.

"My lord, the most important thing right now is to report to the imperial court."

The governor snapped out of his daze instantly.

"Yes, yes, report to the palace immediately."

As he spoke, a token appeared in his hand.

He channeled his true essence into the token, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.

"What's going on? Why isn't the token responding?"

In just a few moments, everyone here was covered in cold sweat.

The entire scene that unfolded here was witnessed by Guo Jing's divine sense.

He let out a cold laugh, his voice echoing throughout the governor's mansion.

"Don't waste your time, the space where this city is located has already been sealed off by me!"

"You should be thinking about how to defend this city!"

The voice was incredibly clear, but to everyone it sounded like the voice of death.

...

"It's over...we're completely finished!"

The next moment, a ruthless glint appeared between the governor's brows.

"Since we're going to die anyway, let's take a few people down with us before we die."

After saying that, he suddenly looked down at the crowd below.

"What are you all standing there for? Do you really think the Great Xia will let you off the hook?"

"Tell those forces in the city not to even think about surrendering; they will never accept them."

"If you're capable, fight your way out; if not, you're just waiting to die."

...

boom!!

The city-protecting formation was activated, and upon seeing it, all the generals in the Heavenly Punishment Army burst into laughter.

"Activating the grand formation at this point? Are all the officials in this city idiots?"

...

"Let me handle this. I can destroy this defensive formation in three moves."

A figure stepped forward. As one of the ten generals of the Heavenly Punishment Army, he was already at the Celestial Realm level, and his combat power was invincible in the Celestial Realm.

Wang Hong was surrounded by light as he swung his battle sword forward.

A ten-thousand-foot-long blade of light traversed the void, tearing open a ten-foot-wide rift in the space it passed through.

boom!!

The city's defensive formation shook violently, and a third of the formation's base shattered instantly.

The light from the entire formation dimmed considerably.

"It's pretty sturdy, let's try again."

Another attack landed, and the rift in the void had not yet fully healed.

Another crack appeared.

boom!!

At this moment, countless cracks appeared on the formation.

When the third attack landed, the formation completely exploded.

The defenders on the city wall were swept away by the aftershocks of the third attack.

A large number of the defending troops were wiped out in an instant!

"Heavenly Punishment Army, kill!"

In an instant, a rain of arrows shot down at the cultivators below.

After several volleys of arrows, the million-strong army began its real attack.

They drew their weapons and charged towards the city's defenders and cultivators.

At this moment, the air above the city trembled.

The next moment, two hundred warships appeared in the air.

The surviving governor was stunned; he had never seen a ship capable of traversing the void.

Soon, all the cultivators above the Dharma Aspect Realm in the city were killed by the Heavenly Punishment Army and Guo Jing.

At this moment, the Heavenly Punishment Army prepared to head to the next state capital.

Guo Jing plans to conquer all four northern border states of the Great Yu Dynasty in a single day.

"Leave fifty warships behind to repair the teleportation array here. The rest of you, follow me!"

...

The news of the fall of Guangping City was firmly suppressed by the Great Xia Dynasty.

Next up are the other three major border prefectures.

In a single day, all the capital cities of the four northern border states of Daewoo were captured.

At this point, no one at Dayu knew about it.

Taking advantage of this time difference, a large number of troops from the rear of the Great Xia Dynasty descended upon the northern border state of the Great Yu Dynasty through the repaired teleportation array.

Using the state capital as their base, they began to sweep across other cities in all directions.

In just five days, the four northern border states of Daewoo fell completely.

Only then did the people of Dayu realize that the four northern border states had fallen.

Instantly, the entire Daewoo was plunged into panic.

...

"Gentlemen, rather than perish with Great Yu, let's rebel first and surrender when Great Xia arrives."

At this moment, cultivation forces from all over the country unanimously decided to rebel.

"That's right, Daewoo's ship is about to sink."

"Instead of betting on whether Daewoo can hold out, it's better to bet on Daxia accepting our surrender."

"We can give up all the assets we've accumulated over the years, as long as we can save our lives!"

...

The fall of fourteen states had already plunged the Great Yu Dynasty into panic.

At this time, the rebellions and internal strife that broke out in various places completely pushed Daewoo off the cliff.

In the palace, the officials looked panicked.

"Your Majesty, it's over, we're completely finished."

"Government orders can no longer leave Yu Prefecture!"

Currently, only Yuzhou, where the imperial city is located, remains under the control of Dayu and has not experienced any unrest.

At this moment, Emperor Yu looked much older.

A tuft of white hair had appeared at his temples without his noticing.

"Our Great Yu has existed for 110,000 years, and we have no habit of being born on our knees."

"My royal family will await the arrival of Great Xia here."

"Gentlemen, you should also prepare for a great battle. The Great Xia will never accept your surrender."

...

In the ancestral land of the Great Yu royal family, everyone here today looks into the void.

There stood all the Dragon Transformation Realm experts of the clan.

"Gentlemen, what follows will be a battle that will determine the life or death of Daewoo."

"Victory means that there is still a sliver of hope for our Daewoo to survive."

"If we are defeated, we will become history."

"But don't worry, we'll have help in this battle too."

"Everyone, come forth into the world!"

The accumulated heritage of a royal family over 110,000 years was finally revealed at this moment.

Currently, Dayu still has eleven cultivators at the Dragon Transformation Realm, including two at the mid-stage of the Dragon Transformation Realm.

In addition, there were eighty Shattered Realm cultivators and more than three hundred Celestial Realm cultivators.

This is the foundation of the royal family, not including the foundation of the Daewoo nobility.

...

On the Xia side, Xia Zhaoyan himself did not expect that the battle situation in Da Yu would change so quickly.

"The First Legion of the Ming Dynasty will be dispatched north to join the Heavenly Punishment Army in besieging the Imperial City of the Great Yu."

"The Underworld Emperor, the Dharma King, and the King of Hell were dispatched north to assist the two legions."

"Inform the Prime Minister to also head north. I have a bad feeling!"

Although the premonition wasn't very strong, Xia Zhaoyan was as cautious as possible.

...

Now, all eyes in the Tianhuang region are on the Dayu region.

The internal strife had been forgotten; all eyes were now on the imperial city.

Because the two legions of the Great Xia Dynasty, together with the forces of the Underworld, sealed off the entire imperial city.

The remaining forces within the Eastern Continent Alliance looked grim.

"What should we do? Should we support Daewoo?"
