During Chen Mu's absence, the territory of the Chen Kingdom expanded once again, and it now occupies the entire Yi Province and West Ge Province, and even a large part of Jing Province has been conquered.
In terms of the area controlled, the Chen Kingdom is undoubtedly the third largest power, second only to the Haotian Imperial Family and the Abyss Devil Race.
Due to the rapid development of technology in the Chen Kingdom, by the second year after Chen Mu left, the Abyss Devil Race were no match for the Chen Kingdom's robot army.
As a result, their attacks on the Haotian Imperial Family became increasingly ineffective, and they eventually ceased their offensive and retreated to the Western Region. Apart from sending troops to defend the three prefectures of Si Province, Yu Province, and Liang Province that they had already conquered, they no longer launched external campaigns.
Not long after the chaos of the Otherworldly Demon was quelled, the Haotian Imperial Family began to suppress the feudal lords. With the help of the Heavenly Court, the Haotian Imperial Family seized power quickly and soon took back all the territories controlled by the Saint Clan, the Soul Clan, the Buddhist Sect, and the Heavenly Puppet Sect.
After the feudal lords were pacified, the Haotian Imperial Family naturally wanted to reclaim the territories of Yi Province, West Ge Province, and Jing Province from the Chen Kingdom. However, the Chen Kingdom originated from the Wilderness and was not a subject of their Haotian Empire.
Chen Hongjie could not possibly let the territory he had painstakingly conquered from the Otherworldly Demon be taken away with just a few words.
Therefore, it was only natural that a conflict broke out between the high-ranking officials of the Chen Kingdom and the Haotian Imperial Family.
In the years since the expulsion of the Otherworldly Demon, Chen Kingdom's actions have won the support of the people. The Haotian Imperial Family does not dare to openly break ties with the Chen Kingdom, so they can only secretly send experts to ambush Chen Kingdom's high-ranking figures in an attempt to weaken Chen Kingdom's power.
However, they clearly miscalculated. With Taichu protecting Chen Kingdom, she could appear anywhere in the Chen Kingdom at any time. Most of the Haotian Imperial Family's sneak attacks ended in failure, and they even lost a lot of manpower.
Finally, having exhausted all other options, Emperor Haotian Empire ordered the detention of Wei Shuang, the leader of the Mountain Army. At the time, Chen Duo was also a guest at the King Who Guards the West's Residence, and they were both escorted to the Haotian Imperial Palace by the people of the War Emperor Palace's Palace.
This matter touched a nerve with A Huo, the sword god of the Chen Kingdom. Upon learning the news, A Huo immediately set off for the Haotian Imperial Palace.
That battle shocked the world. A Huo single-handedly killed several experts from the War Emperor Palace. Even Wen Dao, the " Hegemon Blade " who ranked second on the Heaven Ranking and was the leader of the three royal cavalry of the Haotian Empire, was defeated by A Huo.
After this battle, the Haotian Imperial Family realized that the Chen Kingdom not only had a large military force, but also formidable high-end combat capabilities. Therefore, they refrained from making any further underhanded moves and remained silent for a long time.
Until three or four months ago, the Haotian Imperial Palace suddenly shone brightly, and a thick pillar of light shot straight into the sky, seemingly connecting to a powerful world.
Not long afterward, the Heavenly Dao rules of the Pan Emperor Continent gradually began to be completed, and cultivators at the Saint Level and above began to descend upon the Pan Emperor Continent.
"From this perspective, the completion of the Heavenly Dao rules should be related to the Haotian Imperial Family. They know that my Chen Kingdom is weak and want to use this opportunity to suppress Chen Kingdom."
Chen Mu secretly speculated, but felt that this reason was not entirely tenable. If the Haotian Imperial Family had the ability to arbitrarily supplement the rules of the Heavenly Dao, the Pan Emperor Continent would not have had incomplete rules for tens of thousands of years.
He also remembered that the Manju Sacred King had mentioned that the God-Slaying God had left a barrier around the Heavenly Dao Core of the Pan Emperor Continent, which only began to loosen decades ago. All of this should be more related to the loosening of the God-Slaying God barrier.
The Manju Sacred King's knowledge of the grudges between the gods ten thousand years ago was limited. After all, she had only truly possessed consciousness for five or six thousand years, and everything she knew was only gleaned from fragments she overheard from the Nether Great Emperor; she did not have a detailed understanding of the situation.
"Never mind all that now, the most important thing is to defend the territory of my Chen Kingdom. We can find out the reason later when we have more time."
Relying on the powerful performance of the space warship, Chen Mu was getting closer and closer to the Chen Kingdom. However, at this time, a protracted and protracted battle was taking place in the capital of the Chen Kingdom.
The capital of the Chen Kingdom covers an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers, which would be equivalent to a province on Earth. However, on the Pan Emperor Continent, a city of this size can only be considered to be of medium to high level.
At this moment, the capital was engulfed in smoke and fire, with corpses strewn everywhere and shouts of battle deafening the heavens; everywhere was a scene of utter carnage.
There are two forces attacking the city, and they are attacking from two different directions, coordinating their efforts effectively.
One side was clad in golden armor, disciplined, and each member possessed a powerful physique and divine light protecting them. Although the rebels in the city often ambushed them, they found it difficult to inflict fatal wounds.
These golden-armored warriors are celestial soldiers sent by the Heavenly Court. The weakest among them is at the Core Formation Realm, and they are also skilled in battle formations. When many of them join forces, their strength increases dramatically.
The other side has a larger number of members and is slightly weaker, but they possess many unorthodox techniques and are led by a Saint Level expert, making them a force to be reckoned with.
These were disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Originally, the Chen Kingdom had already led its army to the gates of the Heavenly Puppet Sect and almost destroyed their ancestral land.
However, the Heavenly Dao rules of the Pan Emperor Continent were suddenly completed, and the Saint Level experts of the Heavenly Puppet Sect took action, repelling the Chen Kingdom's army once again.
Once Saint Level experts were allowed to enter the Pan Emperor Continent, the Heavenly Puppet Sect immediately revived.
They gathered their remaining disciples and surrendered to the Haotian Imperial Family. Now, in the name of avenging their sect, they launched an attack on the Chen Kingdom.
Boom! Boom! Clang! Clang! Clang!
On a secluded street, Chen Kingdom warriors discovered a lone disciple of the Heavenly Puppet Sect. Several of them joined forces to surround and kill him, and the battle was extremely fierce.
The disciples of the Heavenly Puppet Sect already possessed the cultivation of the Early Stage of the Core Formation Realm, so they should have been able to easily deal with several True Spirit Realm.
However, people now agree that the strength of the Chen Kingdom warriors cannot be judged solely by their cultivation level.
Today, most of the warriors of the Chen Kingdom possess highly lethal mechanical weapons, which are now known as Chen Kingdom Rune Artifacts.
Unlike traditional magic weapons, Chen Kingdom Rune Artifacts do not respond to the host's will, can be used at will, and may even accidentally harm the host. However, if mastered, they can easily defeat enemies of a higher level.
If it is a cultivator's magic weapon, it is often unusable if it is across a major level; forcibly using it will only drain the cultivator's Spiritual Power.
However, Chen Kingdom Rune Artifacts can exert extremely strong destructive power with only a small amount of Spiritual Power. The only drawback is that they are extremely difficult to control, and cannot be mastered without a long period of training.
Because of the existence of Chen Kingdom Rune Artifacts, the strength of the Chen Kingdom's warriors has become unpredictable. There have even been cases of ordinary people using Rune Artifacts to kill Core Formation Realm cultivators. Now, no one dares to underestimate Chen Kingdom's warriors.
" Spirit Particle Cluster Sword!"
When the disciple of the Sword-Questioning Sect saw a Chen Kingdom warrior condense a green energy longsword from the hilt of his sword, he was immediately terrified.
The Spirit Particle Cluster Sword used to be the standard weapon of the Chen Kingdom's battle formation legion, specifically designed to kill cultivators above the Core Formation Realm. Now that this person can condense an energy blade, he clearly has the ability to kill him.
