Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The spearhead and the sword blade clashed once again.

The ground beneath Gu Changjin's feet cracked inch by inch, and he was forcibly pushed dozens of miles away.

Master Yunxiu followed closely behind, striking him in the chest with a palm, causing the tattered royal armor to shatter completely.

Gu Changjin spat out a wisp of blood, but looked down at his palm.

injured.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since anyone has been able to truly hurt him.

"good."

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and then actually laughed.

"This imperial edict of yours is actually quite interesting."

Master Yunxiu felt a chill run down his spine.

Why is he still able to laugh at a time like this?

But the battle situation left him no time to think.

With the suppression of the heavens and the blessing of the Qing Dynasty edict, Gu Changjin is being suppressed by the two powerful figures who have temporarily crossed the extreme realm.

The Hexi army below has not yet been defeated.

If we can stall for just a little longer, the outcome will be decided!

Until an ordinary "commander" hidden among the grass and trees slowly raised his head.

"The time has come."

Master Qingsong said with a smile.

The Cold Lotus Fairy, Thunder Locust Daoist, and Red Vine Boy beside him simultaneously removed their disguises.

On the other side, Aoki, who had always stood below the central banner, also gripped his longsword.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Five auras of terrestrial immortals shot into the sky without warning!

The governor of Hexi Prefecture, who was in charge of maintaining the great formation on the city wall, was stunned.

At that moment, Master Yunxiu suddenly turned his head.

Not a greenwood statue!

They are five true terrestrial deities!

Moreover, those four beings whom they regarded as ordinary commanders each possessed independent intelligence and a complete Dao, and were not some clumsy military spirits at all!

"The intelligence is incorrect!"

"Retreat quickly..."

It's too late.

Aoki severed the connection between the armored giant and the city's great formation with a single sword strike.

Qingsong Daoist raised his hand and pressed down, and thousands of roots emerged from below the battlefield, directly entangling the Xuan Turtle carrying the mountain on its back.

The Fairy of Cold Lotus walked barefoot through the void, and frost rose up along the limbs of the white-browed ferocious tiger, freezing it and tens of thousands of troops behind it in place in the blink of an eye.

Lei Huai Daoist transformed into a bolt of green lightning, instantly piercing through the chest of a Zhenzhou retainer.

Red Vine Boy grinned, and countless blood vines burst forth from the ground, wrapping the last worshipper who was to fill the position in a giant cocoon.

Five independent terrestrial immortals, along with five military spirits, simultaneously countered the Hexi army formation!

This is not a war at all.

Instead, it collapsed!

boom!

The three revered military heroes of Hexi were shattered one after another.

The city's grand formation was cleaved open by Qingmu's sword, and the 50,000 Qingtian Army pressed forward.

The Hexi vanguard, which was still fighting hard, dropped their weapons in large numbers, and the defenders even pushed open several city gates behind them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the last remaining elder of Yunmeng immediately abandoned his efforts to uphold the Pingqing edict and transformed into clouds to flee towards the city.

But Aoki was already waiting ahead.

With a single sword strike, the clouds dispersed and the person perished.

The battle below has already been decided!

At the very moment the city gates opened, the Azure Emperor's Talisman on Gu Changjin's chest suddenly shone brightly.

Over the past three days, the cities and prefectures that the Qingtian Army took over along the way have all lit up with a blue light.

The roots of plants that had long been embedded in the mountains and rivers of Hexi were no longer concealed.

They spread wildly along rivers, official roads, and the earth's veins, instantly connecting the three prefectures of Beishuo, Hanchuan, and Hexi!

The mountains and rivers of the three states are connected as one!

On the northern horizon, a streak of blue approached from afar, sweeping across the city of Hexi like a tide.

The edict issued by Pingqing caused a great stir.

The character "平" (ping, meaning peace/peace) on the imperial edict was the first to fade, followed by the character "青" (qing, meaning green/blue).

The imperial edict was still shining, but it could no longer draw even a trace of the power of heaven from the mountains and rivers of Hexi!

The auras of Master Yunxiu and Qin Muye, who were besieging Gu Changjin, instantly plummeted!

"impossible!"

For the first time, fear appeared on Master Yunxiu's face.

"You haven't even obtained the Heavenly Decree of Hexi, so how can Qingtian take over a prefecture?!"

Gu Changjin slowly straightened up.

His wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Who told you... that heaven was given by a piece of paper?"

boom!

The blue sky completely covered Hexi.

The fate of the three states, the power of the mountains and rivers, and the thoughts of the people all converged into Gu Changjin's body at this moment.

The invisible barrier that had trapped countless terrestrial immortals in this world only lasted for a brief moment before shattering under the weight of the heavens.

Gu Changjin's aura surged once again!

Above even the immortals on land!

If measured by the immortal realms he was familiar with, he had already ascended to the Xuanxian realm again!

He wore blood-stained royal armor, his long sword pointing diagonally at the ground.

Gu Changjin stepped beneath the newly dyed blue sky, as if he had become one with the entire northern landscape.

Qin Muye roared and charged forward again with his spear.

This time, however, Gu Changjin simply raised his hand and swung his sword.

The gun broke, and the man died.

The old general who had swept across the seventy-two tribes of the Northwest and whose fame had spread for hundreds of years was cut in half by the sword light, along with the thousands of iron cavalry phantoms behind him!

Master Yunxiu turned and fled, his body dissolving into the sea of ​​clouds, attempting to escape back to Yunmeng Tianze.

Gu Changjin raised his hand and gently grasped the sea of ​​clouds.

Under the clear blue sky, clouds for thousands of miles simultaneously solidified.

Master Yunxiu was forcibly squeezed out of the clouds, his eyes filled with endless terror.

"The Immortal Lord will not let this go..."

A flash of sword light streaked past.

The sound stopped abruptly.

The second terrestrial immortal to reach the pinnacle of power has thus perished!

At this point, the city of Hexi offered no further resistance.

The Qingtian Army did not enter the city to loot.

The Grass and Wood Army took over the city gates, the treasury, and the Azure Sky Array Platform first, while the surrendered troops from Hexi were ordered to maintain order in the city.

Before the fighting had completely subsided, some bolder villagers had already opened their doors and taken to the streets with bowls of water and hot bread.

There were only a few people at the beginning.

Soon, the entire long street was covered.

They had already heard about the rules of the Qingtian Army along the way.

Those who surrender the city will not be killed, those who surrender will not be punished, taxes will not be increased, and those who plunder the people will be executed.

Compared to the Great Yin Dynasty, which was extracting the fortune of each state and doubling the taxes to build the Nine Heavens Palace, they were more willing to trust the army in front of them that truly followed the rules.

A blood-soaked old soldier from Beishuo took the bowl of water offered by the people, drank it all in one gulp, and then slammed his sword heavily into his breastplate.

clang!

"Speak up for the people!"

More and more soldiers took up their weapons.

clang!clang!clang!

"Let's establish a new order!"

The roar of the 50,000-strong army mingled with the cheers of the city's inhabitants, shaking the entire Hexi Prefecture.

Above the three prefectures of Beishuo, Hanchuan, and Hexi, the green roots that had originally parasitized under the old heavens stretched out completely.

It is no longer just a prototype.

A truly clear blue sky rises slowly from the north of the Great Yin Dynasty!

At the same time.

In the south of the thirteen states, two other state cities also changed their flags and banners one after another.

Lu Cheng'an led the Yellow Heaven Army to conquer two states in succession, and the hopes of the people of the three states surged together.

The long-silent Huangting Daogong bell tolled loudly, and a majestic yellow sky appeared in the south!

The blue sky of the north.

Yellow sky in the south.

And the sky that still covers Tianjing and the other seven states, but is no longer complete.

For the first time, three distinct colors of sky appeared simultaneously above the thirteen provinces of the world.

From this day forward, the Great Yin Dynasty was no longer solely ruled by Heaven.

The world has officially entered a period of shared governance by the three dynasties!
