Zhang Yu originally intended to exterminate all the soldiers of the Sacred Dragon Divine Dynasty, since with Zhou Xuanqing around, these soldiers and experts were a hidden danger and difficult to subdue.
But now that Zhou Xuanqing has been killed by an unknown force, these people's beliefs and pillars have collapsed. With a little intimidation, it is not difficult to subdue them.
These are millions of battle-hardened elite troops. If we could recruit them, it would be far more beneficial than harmful to building up our power in the future.
You want me to surrender?
Impossible!"
With bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, Zhou Xuan, in his despair, erupted in a final frenzy, recklessly burning his Essence Blood and transforming into a blood-red meteor that hurtled straight towards Zhang Yu.
Behind him, Wang Xuan and dozens of other loyal generals and Personal Guards also let out desperate roars, following closely behind, each using their Supreme Lore, wanting to perish together with Zhang Yu.
"Fight him!"
"His Your Majesty has passed away, and we wish to follow the Prince in the afterlife!"
Faced with this desperate counterattack, Zhang Yu's eyes remained indifferent, showing no emotion whatsoever.
"Since that's the case, then let them all die."
He was too lazy to waste words, and there was no need for him to test him.
A faint light flickered in his hand, and before anyone could see what he was doing, a dark red, blood-red, and thin sword Sword Qi silently shot out from the Formation Disk.
This Sword Qi lacked the vast power that had previously cleaved the earth and annihilated millions, but it was more condensed and purer. The terrifying Sword Intent it contained, capable of annihilating everything and ending all things, made Zhou Xuan, who was at the forefront, scream in his soul.
Laugh--!
The Sword Qi passed by silently.
The blood flames burning on Zhou Xuan's body, the protective spiritual light, and the defensive Law Treasures melted away instantly, as if they were ice and snow encountering the scorching sun.
His forward momentum abruptly halted, the frenzied expression on his face froze, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.
Immediately afterwards, he, along with Wang Xuan and dozens of others behind him, [were involved in the attack].
Like a pencil drawing erased by an eraser, it silently vanished and decomposed, turning into the finest dust, dissipating in the rain of blood, leaving not a trace.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dying wails, only a fleeting flash of dark red sword light, and an empty Void where it stood.
Quiet.
A deathly silence once again enveloped the battlefield.
Those remnants of the Sacred Dragon Divine Dynasty who were originally hesitant, observing, or even somewhat restless were now being dealt with.
Having witnessed firsthand how Zhou Xuan and dozens of other high-ranking figures, including a Late Heavenly Immortal, were easily annihilated like ants before this Red Dress youth, their last thought of resistance was completely extinguished.
An overwhelming fear gripped their hearts; many of them collapsed to the ground, their legs giving way, unable even to run away.
Zhang Yu put away the Formation Disk, his gaze calmly sweeping over the dark mass of demoralized Holy Dragon soldiers below, before turning to Li Yuansheng, who was also speechless with shock at the scene not far away.
"Master,"
Zhang Yu's voice clearly reached everyone's ears:
With Zhou Xuanqing dead, the Sacred Dragon Divine Dynasty exists in name only.
These soldiers had lost their will to fight. We sent people to contact them, and those willing to surrender were screened and incorporated into our ranks.
Remember, as long as you sincerely submit, past transgressions will not be investigated.
If there is any disloyalty...
He didn't finish speaking, but the scene of Zhou Xuan and the others being annihilated just now was the best warning.
Li Yuansheng suddenly snapped back to his senses, suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He quickly bowed and clasped his hands in greeting, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"I'll take care of it right away!"
He knew that if he could successfully recruit these millions of elite Holy Dragons, the Li Family's strength would increase dramatically!
This is like a windfall!
He immediately selected several calm and capable elders and generals to begin arranging the surrender.
Zhang Yu then looked at the three Old Ancestors, Li Tian, Li Di, and Li Ren.
Li Tian and the other two met his gaze, their eyes filled with complex emotions—awe, excitement, and a hint of inquiry.
"After this matter is settled and these surrendered soldiers are initially gathered,"
Zhang Yu spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable authority:
"Taking advantage of the Sacred Dragon Divine Dynasty's National Destiny collapsing and its leaderless state, we swiftly dispatched troops to seize the Holy Dragon territory bordering the Li Family. Using this as a base, we accumulated strength for..."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over the countless pairs of eyes watching him, and said clearly:
"... Preparing to establish Divine Dynasty."
"Establish Divine Dynasty?"
Upon hearing this, the three elders, Li Tian, Li Di, and Li Ren, were taken aback at first, but then their eyes shone with an astonishing brilliance, as if all their previous fatigue and injuries had been swept away.
They looked at each other and saw the excitement and understanding in each other's eyes.
With the strength Zhang Yu has demonstrated so far, the power of the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation, and the ability to incorporate the remnants of the Holy Dragon and annex its territory, establishing a Divine Dynasty is not a pipe dream!
"Establish Divine Dynasty!"
Li Yuansheng was so excited that his face turned red, and his voice rose eight octaves:
"My Li Family... my Li Family will also have its own Divine Dynasty!"
God bless the Li Family! God bless the Li Family!
After a brief moment of astonishment, the surrounding Li Family Members, whether ordinary members or elders and generals, erupted into thunderous cheers and discussions.
"Divine Dynasty! We are going to establish Divine Dynasty!"
"Long live Young Master Yu! Long live the Li Family!"
"My God, my Li Family has actually achieved something like this!"
For a Lineage, establishing Divine Dynasty is the Supreme honor and a stepping stone to the pinnacle!
This means they will no longer be confined to a small corner of the world, but will have a wider territory, richer resources, and a stronger National Destiny!
All those who serve the Divine Dynasty will be protected by the National Destiny, their cultivation speed will increase exponentially, and even their descendants' aptitude will be enhanced!
This is Supreme that could change the fate of an entire clan and bring blessings to future generations!
Even the usually composed Li Tian and his two Old Ancestor couldn't help but feel excited, their faces showing anticipation.
Their lifelong pursuit, besides their own personal path, was the prosperity of their Lineage.
If I could witness firsthand, or even participate in, the establishment of a Divine Dynasty belonging to the Li Family, I would have no regrets in this life!
"Alright,"
Zhang Yu raised his hand and pressed down, and the boiling noise gradually subsided. Everyone stared intently at him.
"The follow-up matters here will be properly handled by the head of the family and the elders."
I have other important matters to discuss with the three Progenitor.
"Rest assured, we will certainly live up to your expectations!"
Li Yuansheng straightened his back, responded loudly, his face filled with unprecedented enthusiasm and a sense of honor.
Zhang Yu nodded slightly, said no more, turned around and transformed into a streak of light, taking the lead towards the depths of the Li Family Ancestral Land.
The three Old Ancestor, Li Tian, Li Di, and Li Ren, dared not be negligent and immediately took to the air, following closely behind.
Behind them were the Li Family members, busy receiving surrendered soldiers and cleaning up the battlefield, and countless eyes filled with fervent hope for the future.
Meanwhile, the drizzling rain of blood, symbolizing the fall of Half-step Supreme, continued unabated in the sky.
It's as if it's silently watching over this land, where the curtain of a new era is slowly rising.
Zhang Yu knew that the time had come.
The siege of the Li Family has been lifted; the elite of the Holy Dragon have either surrendered or died; Zhou Xuanqing has mysteriously perished; and the Sacred Dragon Divine Dynasty is on the verge of collapse.
This is the crucial moment to integrate all available resources and put the blueprint for establishing Divine Dynasty into practice.
