Li Luo and the other three were caught off guard as four pitch-black icy iron chains shot out from the black mist behind Bai Wuchang, piercing through their bodies.
After a wretched scream, under everyone's horrified gazes, Bai Wuchang grasped the four iron chains in one hand and gave them a fierce yank, ripping out the souls of the four.
The few immediately collapsed limply to the ground, completely lifeless.
Bai Wuchang swallowed the four souls in one gulp, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Troops, on my command, attack!"
King Wu, dragging his heavily injured body, immediately ordered the million troops behind him to charge at Li Luo's group.
"Attack..."
Hearing King Wu's order, the war cries of the million troops shook the heavens as they surged forth like a tidal wave towards Li Luo and the others.
King Wu took this chance while the million troops created a distraction to give himself an opportunity to escape.
With his current strength, facing an Origin Returning Realm expert was like smashing an egg against a rock.
"Hmph!"
Luo Yi saw through King Wu's intention to flee.
Silver spear in hand transforming into a streak of light, she shot straight into the million army.
At this moment, Luo Yi was like a peerless terrifying war goddess.
With a sweep of her spear, its frightening power directly punctured through the skulls of thousands of soldiers, quickly killing a bloody path to catch up to King Wu.
"You..."
Seeing Luo Yi who blocked his path, King Wu was instantly in despair.
"Die!"
Luo Yi stabbed with her spear.
A phantom silhouette of the silver spear blasted out from within the spear, aimed straight at King Wu's head.
Sensing no path of retreat left, King Wu decided to go all out in desperation.
"Nine Li Yi Tian Sword!"
"Ha!"
King Wu tightly gripped the sword at his waist.
In an instant, his aura erupted explosively as his sword let out a piercing cry.
With a loud shout, King Wu slashed out at the blasting illusory silver spear.
Putting his all into this one slash, King Wu's sword collided with the illusory silver spear.
A crisp cracking sound rang out, like shattering glass.
King Wu's pupils constricted as he froze in shock, the broken sword fragments reflected in his eyes.
The smooth broken sword fragments were tinged with a hint of blood.
King Wu could not believe how fragile he was in front of an Origin Returning Realm expert, despite being at the peak of the Great Evolution Realm...
Next, King Wu felt the world spin as his body toppled to the ground.
A bloody cavity in his throat was swallowing away his life.
Luo Yi grabbed King Wu's corpse and killed her way out from the million army.
At the same time,
Just as the million troops were charging forth to Li Luo upon command,
Zhao Dezhu and the Earth God stood before him to block their path.
Facing the million army, Zhao Dezhu instantly activated his Illusory Eyes.
Within the blood-colored pupils, the swirling red flower flickered with golden flames.
Under Li Luo's gaze, Zhao Dezhu's eyes started bleeding.
"Illusory Flame Celestial Fire!"
"Hum hum..."
With Zhao Dezhu's explosive shout, his pupils constricted.
Bizarre golden flames ignited on countless soldiers within the charging army.
The golden flames spread rapidly like wildfire.
"Ahhh..."
Countless soldiers were scorched by the celestial fire, letting out miserable shrieks.
What terrified them even more was that these bizarre golden flames sticking to their bodies could not be patted off.
Even a tiny speck would get instantly engulfed by the flames.
Amidst the chilling screams,
Large swathes of soldiers were reduced to ashes, dying without a trace.
In just a brief moment, tens of thousands had perished.
As the Illusory Flame Celestial Fire spread, the death toll continued to rise.
"As expected of a character summoned by the system!"
Seeing how terrifying Zhao Dezhu's move was, Li Luo could not help but be astonished.
After Zhao Dezhu's Illusory Flame Celestial Fire had massacred many soldiers,
Although it deterred the majority, the unaware armies at the back still continued their charge.
Seeing this, the Earth God beside stepped forth, lightly tapping the ground with his staff.
"Moving Mountains and Filling Seas!"
"Boom..."
The Earth God's clothes fluttered as an aura permeated out. The terrifying pressure of a peak Origin Returning Realm spread, turning the skies for thousands of miles.
In that instant, the mountains crumbled and the earth split open. The great mountains on both sides slowly levitated under a frightening power.
Strands of golden runes fluttered about the mountain peaks, like two ancient primordial divine mountains.
The heavy oppressive aura instantly made the million charging army halt their steps.
Everyone's faces were filled with terror, collapsing to their knees with their weapons dropping to the ground.
"This... this... must be... must be the gods!"
"We've offended the gods..."
"It's over... we're all going to die..."
"Can't win... our lives are forfeit..."
The million army gazed despairingly at the two sky-covering gigantic mountains floating overhead, completely losing all will to fight.
"Hiss..."
Li Luo was also stunned by the Earth God's move.
Although the Earth God's status was not high among the other greater gods in the Mythos, he still possessed such frightening power.
One could hardly imagine how terrifying the powers of more well-known gods like Er Lang Shen, Li Jing, the Four Heavenly Kings would be...
"Earth God, please show mercy!"
At this moment, Li Luo regained his senses and hastily told the Earth God to restrain himself.
"Although they are King Wu's army, after all, they are still the citizens of Liyang."
"Haha..."
"Young master, don't worry. This old man only wanted to deter this million army. I don't intend to massacre them."
The Earth God stroked his snowy beard, chuckling.
Just then, Luo Yi returned carrying King Wu's corpse.
"Young master, King Wu is dead!"
Luo Yi tossed King Wu's corpse to the ground and cupped her fists.
Li Luo nodded, then directly picked up King Wu's corpse.
Stepping forth into midair, he imbued his voice with spirit force, speaking solemnly:
"Everyone, listen. I am Li Luo, son of the King of Beiliang, Crown Prince of Beiliang!"
"King Wu has been slain by us!"
"King Wu is dead. There is no need to continue sacrificing your lives for him!"
"This Crown Prince pleads for you all to surrender, as you are all citizens of Liyang!"
"Those who surrender will be spared!"
Li Luo's voice swiftly reached the entire army.
"It's... it's really the Prince!"
"The King is dead!"
"Crown Prince... I, I surrender... I don't want to die..."
"I surrender too..."
Under the lead of some, the million army put down their weapons and raised their hands in surrender.
Seeing this, Li Luo faintly smiled and exchanged a look with the Earth God.
The Earth God understood, withdrawing his mystic art. The two primordial divine mountains floating over the million army slowly shifted back to their original positions...

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
m back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things. [Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?] [Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?] [Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!] ... At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts. Then they decided not to play by the rules.

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
