The Spell Breaking Blade ultimately went to the Aolei Empire, as expected. Just as Gatu had said, the Aolei Empire fought for it regardless of cost, forcing the nations within the All Nations Alliance to give up.
Unlike the Aolei Empire, which had no way back and did everything with the air of smashing its cauldrons and sinking its boats, the other nations still had room to retreat. That was why they cut their losses in time.
Then, the Spell Breaking Blade fell into Lu Xingshi's hands, though he had not had time to study much of it.
Soon after, the All Nations Alliance suffered another brutal beating, and over half of the Dragon Mountain Range fell into the Aolei Empire's hands.
After suffering defeat after defeat, quite a few empires within the All Nations Alliance could no longer endure it. Their people had died, their land had been lost—anyone would have their mindset collapse under that.
Thus, a peace faction emerged within the All Nations Alliance.
In other words, they no longer wanted to fight. They had originally kept winning wars and could endlessly plunder the Aolei Empire's resources to replenish themselves. With ample benefits to gain, they had naturally reveled in it.
But now they kept losing. Not only were they taking beatings without gaining any benefits, they were also running massive deficits. Naturally, they could not stomach it.
