Li Luo stared at the Golden Giant Dragon, feeling the golden aura from the Forbidden Guards. His eyebrows furrowed slightly.
This power was strange to him. He had never seen such a unique force before. This power gave him a feeling of both mundanity, with the lights of common households, and dominance, with its imperious aura.
"What is this power? It doesn't seem to be evil energy or fighting spirit..." Li Luo murmured in confusion.
Seeing his young master's bewilderment, Fang Xuanling beside him smiled and quietly explained in his ear:
"Young master, this is the power of destiny!"
"It can also be called the power of the nation's destiny!"
"Only the lord of an era can wield such power..."
"Oh~"
"So this is the legendary power of national destiny!"
"I see..." Li Luo finally understood.
The military souls of the Forbidden Guards were formed by Qin Yun fortifying them with the power of destiny!
At the same time, at the top of a palace deep within the imperial palace.
A figure stealthily emerged on top of the palace. The person appearing at the top of the palace was naturally the former emperor of the Liyang Dynasty, Qin Yue.
"Hehe..."
"After so many years, I still miss the Dragon Demon Army Soul..."
"Beiliang King, I didn't expect you to have trained the Bei Liang Iron Cavalry to such an extent..."
Qin Yue looked up at the Dragon Demon Army Soul, and couldn't help sighing deeply.
Although the dragon aura military souls of the Forbidden Guards were comparable to the Dragon Demon Army Soul banners.
But looking at the numbers, the Forbidden Guards were clearly inferior to the Bei Liang Iron Cavalry.
The Forbidden Guards currently had 500,000 troops, while the Bei Liang Iron Cavalry only had over 100,000.
It was obvious which side had the advantage.
"Hehe..."
"Don't forget our agreement..."
At this time, a cold laugh sounded in Qin Yue's mind, and a flash of evil black-red power passed through his eyes.
"Don't worry, I have already picked out a suitable candidate for you..."
"What do you think of the Beiliang King's mortal body?"
Qin Yue whispered to himself.
"Hehehe... As long as it's not too bad..."
The voice inside him replied in a sentence, then fell silent.
"Heh..."
"Beiliang King, let's see what cards you have up your sleeve..."
Qin Yue sneered coldly, stood with his hands behind his back, and watched from atop this great hall.
"Haha..."
"Dad, their numbers are greater than ours. Our Bei Liang troops are at a disadvantage. Let the troops retreat first..."
Li Luo looked at the endless Forbidden Guards and said.
This was the imperial palace, and the Bei Liang Iron Cavalry could not exert their cavalry advantages here.
Also, although he had recruited the one million troops of the King of Wu, those were just ordinary troops, simply no match for the Forbidden Guards.
"Alright!"
Li Beixiong readily agreed with Li Luo's words, waving his big hand. The Dragon Demon Army Souls in the clouds receded, transforming into surges of evil energies returning to the soldiers.
"What's this?"
"Beiliang King, don't you think it's too late to surrender now?"
Seeing the Bei Liang army retract their military souls, Qin Yun's eyebrows furrowed, not understanding their intentions, and he sneered.
"Hahaha..."
"Surrender?"
"My son just doesn't want the soldiers of this king to make unnecessary sacrifices..."
Li Beixiong laughed loudly.
Hearing this, Qin Yun's gaze fell upon Li Luo.
"So you're the recently famous Li Luo?"
His gaze fixed on Li Luo as he asked coldly.
Li Luo looked up and smiled slightly:
"Hehe..."
"Your Majesty, let this prince return your earlier words, surrender as soon as possible, and you may still have a chance to live..."
Hearing this, Qin Yun laughed loudly.
"Hahahaha..."
"The common folk all say you, Li Luo, are a young talent. But seeing you today, I feel you're nothing special!"
"Can you not see the current situation clearly?"
"Asking me to surrender, what a hilarious joke!"
"Oh?!"
"Is that so?"
"Since that's the case, dad, Gao Shun, Ergou, show His Majesty our capabilities..."
Li Luo's mouth curved up slightly as he waved his hand.
Behind him, Gao Shun and Li Ergou suddenly erupted with terrifying auras, pressing down from the void.
And hearing his command, Li Beixiong also leapt forth, blood-red evil energies swirling around him.
"Heh..."
"You Bei Liang really are extraordinary..."
"Why not have those others make a move too?"
Qin Yun's gaze fell upon Gao Shun and Li Ergou, a strange look flashing through his eyes. Then he looked towards Luo Yi and the others by Li Luo's side.
Li Luo naturally knew Qin Yun was referring to Luo Yi and them, so he laughed:
"No no no!"
"Dealing with you doesn't require them to act..."
Hearing Li Luo's words, Qin Yun's expression instantly darkened, fury evident on his dragon-like face.
It seemed Li Luo was looking down on him!
"Boom..."
"Surnamed Qin, let this king see what you're capable of!"
Li Beixiong didn't want to hear Qin Yun's nonsense, and roared with laughter as he suddenly charged at Qin Yun with his great blade.
Boom-
"Beiliang King, your opponent is me!"
At this time, Eunuch Wei by Qin Yun's side erupted with energy and rushed to meet the incoming Li Beixiong.
However, Gao Shun wielding the silver spear blocked Eunuch Wei, stabbing out with his spear.
"Your opponent is me!"
Boom-
Eunuch Wei and Gao Shun instantly tangled in battle.
And Li Beixiong also arrived before Qin Yun.
"Destroy Bei Liang!"
With an order from Qin Yun, the golden-armored Forbidden Guards brandished their sabers and charged at Li Luo and the others.
Then Qin Yun drew the longsword in his hand to face Li Beixiong in battle.
"Kill..."
Seeing the Forbidden Guards rushing over murderously, Li Luo waved his hand. Eighteen figures emitting Great Yin Domain cultivation bases emerged from the darkness.
These were the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun!
"Fortify them with the power of battle souls!"
"Yes!"
Receiving Li Luo's order, the Dragon Demon Army Souls of the Bei Liang Iron Cavalry rose into the air again, immediately empowering the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun.
The cultivation bases of the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun instantly rose from the mid stage of Great Yin Domain to its peak.
"Ha!"
Empowered by the dragon demon battle aura, the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun unleashed terrifying attacks against the incoming Forbidden Guards.
Their fearsome attacks instantly took the lives of over ten thousand Forbidden Guards.
"What?!"
Qin Yun, who was battling Li Beixiong, was greatly shocked seeing the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun appear.
He didn't expect Bei Liang to have so many Great Yin Domain experts.
Now he finally understood why both Nanyun and the King of Wu met miserable defeats at the hands of Bei Liang!
"What a hidden depth Bei Liang has!"
Qin Yun blocked a strike from Li Beixiong, his expression grim as he spoke.
"Hahahaha... Thanks for the compliment!"
"Listen to my son's advice, hurry up and surrender, otherwise this king will slaughter your entire imperial clan!"
Li Beixiong sneered and continued his terrifying assaults.
Roar-
The dragon aura military soul roared to the heavens, wanting to empower the Forbidden Guards.
The Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun exchanged glances, and three of them slashed out with their sabers towards the military soul.
Three terrifying blades of blood light shot forth, striking the dragon aura military soul.
The horns of the dragon aura military soul were instantly severed by one of the fearsome blade lights.
Two hideous wounds remained on its body as the blood evil energy ceaselessly eroded the military soul.
The Forbidden Guards surging forth like tidal waves also suffered backlash, with over a hundred thousand of them vomiting blood on the spot.
Noticing the battlefield situation, Qin Yun was shocked and hurriedly ordered the Forbidden Guards to dismiss their military soul.
Because if the military soul was completely destroyed, all the Forbidden Guards would suffer backlash.
Receiving the order, the Forbidden Guards promptly dismissed their military soul.
Seeing the military soul disappear, the three North Yan Yun Eighteen responsible for besieging it returned to formation and unleashed waves of terrifying assaults, massacring great swaths of Forbidden Guards.
"Great opportunity!"
"Slaughter Formation!"
Luo Yi, who had been by Li Luo's side, saw the Forbidden Guards dismiss their military soul and immediately commanded.
"Yes!"
The Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun responded and swiftly formed hand seals.
Beneath the eighteen riders, a massive, terrifying blood-colored formation suddenly took shape.

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter.
