In the Heaven of No Desire, Southeast Territory, Ning Chen led his army south and north, carving out vast lands.
In just one year, warfires had scorched four hundred thousand li of territory. Ning Chen devoted every resource he gained to raising the strength of the Hundred Great Sinners and three thousand kings, finally achieving some initial results.
After Yu Lian stepped into the Heaven Realm, quite a few among the three thousand kings also successively entered the Imperial Dao Realm, their combat strength multiplying.
To temper the army behind him, Ning Chen led the Hundred Great Sinners and three thousand kings through unceasing campaigns, placing them under the greatest possible pressure.
Human potential was boundless. Forced to the limit, it might erupt. For a thousand years, this was how he had walked his path. Though he knew every person's path was different, he no longer had time to wait for them to grow slowly.
Only the most extreme methods could force out the most extreme results. What he needed was a valiant, battle-hardened army. Not too many—three thousand would suffice.
At an immortal mountain, the Hundred Great Sinners and three thousand troops assaulted the mountain several times, battering the entire immortal mountain until it was nearly ruined.
In the void, Ning Chen stood quietly, his hollow eyes watching the battle ahead without the slightest ripple in his expression.
Led by Yu Lian, the three thousand troops attacked without pause. The wounded retreated, and the dead were buried where they fell.
After three days and three nights, the immortal mountain was finally taken. All of its Venerable-level experts died in battle; not one survived.
Under the cruel laws of survival in the Heaven of No Desire, people seemed to have seen through life and death, preferring death to surrender.
