Tying Up Loose Ends 1
Meanwhile, the battle in the Heaven Hunt Immortal Forest had also ended, and the area had been completely occupied by the army of the Evernight Empire.
The two Heavenly Heaven-rank Light Emissary guarding this place were no match for the Evernight War God Asura, and were killed within a few rounds. Not to mention the remaining twenty Earth-rank Light Emissary, they were killed by the Divine Lord Xuan Tian with a single strike.
Without the support of high-end combat forces, the remaining two hundred million or so Radiant Immortal Soldiers, no matter how numerous, were lambs to the slaughter, and soon surrendered en masse.
Thus, the two formidable defensive lines of the Radiant Divine Kingdom against external enemies collapsed, leaving its gates wide open.
"Young Lord, there are still 180 million surrendered soldiers. What should we do with them?"
In the flying chariot of the Evernight Empire's commander-in-chief above the Heaven Hunt Immortal Forest, the Evernight Emperor bowed to Li Yin, who was seated in the main seat, and asked.
After pondering for a moment, Li Yin said in a deep voice, "Since they have surrendered, let's not increase the killing. Keep them alive so that their value can be fully realized."
"Let the rear send more troops to escort these surrendered soldiers back to their country. Wherever there is a need for construction or a shortage of personnel, they can be assigned there."
"By the way, in order to ensure that these surrendered soldiers are obedient, we must sign a life-or-death contract with each of them. Let them work for free for 100,000 years first."
Evernight Emperor was taken aback upon hearing this; why did these words sound so familiar?
Oh, right, I think my subordinate mentioned that when he came to report earlier.
The Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty also treated the surrendered soldiers of the Brightness Empire in the same way. Their methods are almost identical to the Young Lord's, as if they came from the same school... It's probably just a coincidence...
Without further thought, Evernight Emperor continued, "By the way, Young Lord, there is another piece of news that I haven't had time to report yet. According to my scouts, the Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty captured Nirvana Immortal Abyss yesterday and continued its advance towards the Radiant Divine Capital this morning."
"Hmm? They're so fast! They're even ahead of us! We need to speed things up too, or we'll miss out on this ripe opportunity."
As time passed, after the Evernight Empire escorted the surrendered soldiers back to their country, their army marched rapidly towards the Radiant Divine Capital. Wherever the army went, they were invincible and conquered hundreds of Light's vassal kingdoms.
The Azure Cloud Legion on the other side was also unstoppable. Even though the Lord of Light God repeatedly ordered his more than 10,000 subordinate immortal kingdoms to enter a state of national war and resist to the end, any resistance in the face of absolute power was like a mayfly trying to shake a tree, and was easily defeated!
Over the next few days, these two attacking armies were incredibly powerful, drawing the attention of the entire Immortal Continent.
"Holy crap! This is bad! The Azure Cloud Immortal Dynasty has already invaded the heart of the Bright Realm and is about to reach the Divine Capital!"
"Damn, that's fast! Forget about those vassal immortal kingdoms that surrendered at the first sign of trouble, even the immortal cities on the Divine Kingdom's own territory couldn't withstand Soaring Clouds's offensive! I heard that Soaring Clouds has several Supreme God Lords on his side, one of whom is even a high-level peak god lord! Just where did this powerful force come from to interfere?"
"That's right, the Radiant Divine Kingdom, the overlord of Qinghan, is really in trouble this time. Don't forget there's another powerful enemy— the Evernight Empire! The landscape of our Qinghan Immortal Prefecture is really about to be rewritten!"
"Wait a minute, fellow cultivator, aren't you Rogue Cultivator? Why are you so concerned about matters of light?"
"Uh... that's because I've staked everything I own! If Guangming really loses, I'll be left with nothing but my underwear!"
Countless cultivators in Qinghan were passionately discussing the matter. Many remained indifferent, while others were concerned about their own interests. Each had their own plans, and the situation became turbulent and unpredictable once again.
"Tianyong Immortal City, Tianze Immortal City, Wuji Immortal City, Boundless Immortal City... Wuwei Fearless Immortal City, this must be the last immortal city in this direction. Further ahead is the central area of Qinghan, the Radiant Divine Capital."
Above the void, in the massive command chariot of the Azure Cloud Legion, the Black Emperor lay comfortably on a soft couch and spoke.
It only took us two and a half days to fight our way through, and we didn't find a single worthy opponent. How boring!
"Yes, once we take over the Radiant Divine Capital, the rest will be much easier. We just need to send strong people and armies to take over the conquered immortal cities and kingdoms. Then we can appease the people, rebuild order, and they will soon be won over."
"However, this is not enough to unify Qinghan Immortal Prefecture. Don't forget, there is also the Evernight Empire in Qinghan. They occupy a vast area, and their overall strength is definitely above that of the Light God. Otherwise, their army would not have been able to invade so quickly. Judging by the time, they are almost at the Radiant Divine Capital."
Sitting in the main seat, Shi Hao meticulously analyzed the current situation.
"Don't worry, Personal Disciple Shi. In my eyes, the Evernight Empire is just as worthless as a chicken or a dog. Taking them down will be a piece of cake."
The Black Emperor sat up from the soft couch, stretched, and said, "Phew! But after we take down the Radiant Divine Capital to rest properly and recharge our energy."
I absolutely have to sleep! After all, my cultivation method is the "Sleeping Dream Ascension Great Art."
The Azure Cloud Legion's six million-strong army galloped swiftly through the clouds, and soon arrived in the void tens of thousands of miles away from the Radiant Divine Capital.
"Report! Reporting to Personal Disciple Shi, Lord Black Emperor, according to our scouts, the army of the Evernight Empire has also arrived and is marching in our direction."
