The strategy of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens was very simple.
Ten World-Breaking Blades would occupy the ten greatest sources of the Grand Dao.
Qin Hao would hold the line alone for three thousand miles.
Everyone else would wage a guerrilla war. Overall, the cultivators of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds were stronger than those of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens.
However, once they began assimilating the sources of the Grand Dao, they could no longer spare a hand for anything else.
That was when the cultivators of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens would charge in and launch surprise attacks!
They had no intention of getting entangled. Every time, they attacked only once before immediately retreating.
“Bastards! The cultivators of the Three Realms and Nine Netherworlds are absolutely disgusting!”
“Now! Immediately! Send several cultivators skilled in perception to guard every source of the Grand Dao we occupy and prevent the people from the Three Realms and Nine Heavens from ambushing us!”
With dedicated guards stationed around the occupied sources of the Grand Dao, the cultivators of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens had a much lower chance of succeeding in their ambushes.
Liu Ruyan, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation, sent a telepathic message to the cultivators of the Three Realms and Nine Heavens:
“Stop harassing them. Gather all your strength and return to the sources of the Grand Dao we occupy. Focus on converting them with everything you have.”
“We only have a few days left before the top combatants of both worlds can enter the battlefield. Before then, assimilate as much of the Grand Dao as possible. Every bit of time you can save for us will help.”
And so, the two sides reached a delicate balance.
Neither interfered with the other. Both poured all their energy into converting the sources of the Grand Dao.
Qin Hao naturally couldn’t accept this.
He left the three-thousand-mile stretch he had been guarding and ventured alone into the territory occupied by the otherworldly forces.
His Dual Pupils opened. Destructive black radiance shone from his left eye, while azure light of creation gleamed from his right.
No matter who they were, any cultivator of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds struck by Qin Hao’s destructive black radiance was doomed to die.
At the same time, he never stopped attacking.
He alternated between the Void-Illusory Sword Art and the Primordial Sword Strike.
With a single move of the Soul-Devouring Banner, hundreds or even thousands of people were sucked into it.
When the Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda appeared, thousands were trapped inside and refined.
With a single suppression from the Primordial Fortune-Seizing Seal, hundreds or thousands of people were crushed into bloody pulp.
The fighting was exhilarating, but the consumption was simply too great.
With Qin Hao’s reserves of spiritual energy, he could maintain such an intense battle for only a day.
However, Qin Hao was the Imperial Son of the Qin Family. Pills were the one thing he never lacked.
Whenever his spiritual energy ran dry, he simply stuffed another pill into his mouth.
“Monster! That guy’s a monster! Is he really a cultivator at the Immortal Realm? His combat power is far too terrifying!”
“What the hell is he trying to do? Does he actually intend to slaughter every cultivator in the entire Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds by himself?”
Xiao Junbao, Imperial Son of the Ancient Xiao Family, gazed at Qin Hao with undisguised unwillingness.
Once, he had considered himself an unparalleled prodigy. It was only after encountering that fellow named Ye Hao in the High Firmament Divine Dynasty that he learned what it meant for there to always be someone better—and skies beyond the skies.
But today, after witnessing the methods of this Imperial Son of the Qin Family from the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, he finally understood.
This was what it meant to be undefeated.
This was what it meant to be invincible.
Xiao Junbao even felt that if Ye Hao came here and raised his cultivation to the Immortal Realm, he still might not be a match for the Imperial Son of the Qin Family before him.
The entire Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds fell into fear because of Qin Hao’s arrival.
“I’ve heard that Fairy Miejue once charged alone into the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds, killing so many of our supreme orthodoxies that their inheritances were severed.”
“When I first heard that legend, I thought it was merely an exaggerated tale passed down by our elders. No matter how powerful an Immortal Emperor was, he was still just one Immortal Emperor. How could a single Immortal Emperor stand against the power of an entire world?”
“But now, after seeing this Imperial Son of the Qin Family from the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, I realize that I was nothing more than a frog in a well. There really are people who can, through their own strength, slaughter an entire world until its people cannot even lift their heads!”
Among the cultivators of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds, Ling Shuangshuang gazed at Qin Hao, who was cutting down gods and Buddhas alike, her eyes shining brightly.
“Wow, is this my man? He’s so handsome! Even killing people looks so cool when he does it. I love him even more now.”
After once again fighting until his spiritual energy was completely exhausted, Qin Hao finally stopped.
At that moment, he looked like a man drenched in blood from head to toe.
Of course, all the blood belonged to the cultivators of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds.
Qin Hao casually wiped the blood from his mask, then tossed another pill into his mouth.
As he felt his depleted spiritual energy begin surging through his meridians once more, Qin Hao stood atop a mound of corpses and laughed loudly at the people below.
“Hahahaha! Is this all the ability the cultivators of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds possess?”
Qin Hao’s arrogant attitude did not enrage the cultivators of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds. Instead, it made them look at him with even greater apprehension.
There was nothing they could do. Qin Hao had displayed power so astonishing that, compared with him, their own strength truly seemed inadequate.
Qin Hao raised the Void-Illusory Sword, pointing its tip directly at the cultivators of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds before him.
“All of you are but dust beneath my feet. I alone stand as the heavens!”
“Kill!”
With a thunderous shout, Qin Hao launched another assault.
On the side of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds, several Imperial Sons and Imperial Daughters of the Ancient Families joined forces and charged at Qin Hao, each wielding an Ultimate Emperor Weapon.
Yet even all of them together could not withstand a single strike from Qin Hao.
With just one sword stroke, he severely wounded them all.
If not for the fact that the defensive artifacts they wore were also of the Ultimate Emperor Weapon level, they would already have been corpses.
“Absurd! Those are the Imperial Sons and Imperial Daughters of our Ancient Families! They couldn’t even block a single sword strike from him!”
“Terrifying! That guy’s combat power is on an entirely different level from ours!”
Xiao Junbao, the Xiao Family’s Imperial Son, slowly rose to his feet and looked at Qin Hao with grave solemnity.
“Imperial Son of the Qin Family! What glory is there in fighting us? You should be the strongest prodigy in the Three Realms and Nine Heavens, shouldn’t you?”
“If you want a real fight, then face the strongest prodigy of our younger generation in the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds! We admit that we’re inferior to you. But the strongest prodigy of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds will definitely trample you beneath his feet!”
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao smiled faintly.
“Is that so? Where is the number-one prodigy of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds? Have him come out and fight me.”
Xiao Junbao snorted coldly.
“The strongest prodigy of the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds is Ye Hao, Imperial Son-in-Law of the High Firmament Divine Dynasty. He is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Immortal Realm.”
“If you have the ability, wait until he comes out of seclusion and fight him.”
Xiao Junbao’s words left Qin Hao momentarily stunned.
He truly had not expected that, despite spending only two months in the Ten Directions and Nine Netherworlds, he had already become known as the strongest prodigy among their younger generation.
The realization made Qin Hao burst out laughing.
Xiao Junbao frowned deeply.
“Imperial Son of the Qin Family, what are you laughing at? To put it plainly, aren’t you slaughtering people so recklessly merely to hinder our assimilation of the sources of the Grand Dao?”
“I will swear an oath here and now: if you stop, I am willing to use ten Grand Dao fragments as the wager. What do you say?”
“If you win, we will give you ten Grand Dao fragments!”
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
