Subjugating the Three Kingdoms
The moment she uttered the question, she received the answer: a name Fuxian through her mind— Xu Qi'an!
Looking across the Nine Provinces, the only person who has a grudge against the Shaman God Cult and has grown to the point that even the Shaman God cannot suppress is that newly promoted First Rank Martial Warrior.
Dongfang Wanrong had personally witnessed Xu Qi'an come knocking on her door.
"But the last time I saw him come to collect a debt, he was turned away by the Great Shaman," Dongfang Wanrong expressed her doubts.
Even the Great Shaman was able to deflect it, let alone the Shaman God, who has further broken free of the seal. His current power is far greater than when he first broke free of the seal.
With the Shaman God and the Great Shaman guarding Jingshan City, even if Xu Qi'an is First Rank Martial Warrior, the Great Shaman shouldn't be so wary of him.
"Moreover, I heard Elder Wuda Baota say the other day that the warrior has already gone to sea," someone else said.
This rules out the possibility that the enemy is Xu Qi'an.
Indeed, he was just a First Rank Martial Warrior. To them, he was indeed high and mighty, but to the Shaman God and the Great Shaman, he might not be that strong.
If the enemy were Xu Qi'an, there shouldn't be this much commotion.
"Could it be... Buddha?"
A wizard made a bold guess.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw hooded heads around him turn around, all staring intently at him.
The expressions of his fellow disciples were mostly things like, "Don't talk nonsense," "That makes a lot of sense," "You're a jinx," and "Are you crazy?"
"But if it weren't for the Buddha, who else could inspire such fear in the Shaman God and the Great Shaman?" Dongfang Wanrong said softly.
The news of the battle between the Great Feng's Transcendent experts and the Buddhist Order in Aranda several months ago had already reached the Shaman God Cult.
It is said that the Buddha broke free from the seal even before the Shaman God.
Although the monks of the Shaman System are reluctant to admit it, it seems that the Buddha is somewhat stronger than the Shaman God.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the wizards around them all looked rather grim.
After a while, a wizard muttered to himself:
"The Great Shaman summoned us all to Jingshan City to help the Shaman God resist the Buddha?"
In that case, the casualties would inevitably be heavy.
As the wizards were filled with a variety of thoughts, some surprised and some afraid, the Great Shaman Salun Agu, who was sitting cross-legged on the altar beside the statue of the Shaman God, suddenly stood up.
The Rain Master Nalan Tianlu, the two Spirit Wisdom Master Yierbu and Wuda Baota beside him, stood up and stood side by side with the Great Shaman. The four Transcendent of the Shaman God Cult all looked south, behind the wizards.
"It's very lively."
A clear voice rang out, echoing in the darkness.
The sisters, Dongfang Wanrong and Dongfang Wanqing, changed their expressions. The voice was extremely familiar; they had heard it more than once.
The wizards turned around abruptly and saw a young man in an indigo robe walking through the air beneath the silvery full moon.
Xu Qi'an!
Dongfang Wanrong's expression was slightly dazed. She never expected that the person who made the Great Shaman so wary and mobilized such a large force was actually Xu Qi'an.
She looked at her younger sister and found that her sister's expression was similar to her own—shock mixed with bewilderment.
Xu Qi'an?! Thousands of wizards turned their heads in unison, looking up at the sky behind them, and saw the young man high above them.
In today's Nine Provinces, who doesn't know this legendary warrior?
But it was actually him, the enemy whom the Shaman God and the Great Shaman feared so much that they went so far as to summon all the wizards to Jingshan City, that was Xu Qi'an.
Does he deserve it?
Could a First Rank Martial Warrior really push our Shaman God Cult to this extent?
The wizards refused to accept this fact, glancing left and right for other possible enemies while listening intently to what the Great Shaman and legendary warrior would say.
"Salun Agu, ever since I killed Zhende, you have been targeting me at every turn. Yesterday, when I fought Buddha on the border of Leizhou, your Shaman God Cult was still stirring things up. Did you ever imagine that this day would come for reckoning!"
Xu Qi'an's voice was clear and calm, resonating in the ears of every wizard.
The thousands of wizards heard everything clearly. They first confirmed one thing: Xu Qi'an had indeed come for revenge, because the Great Shaman had repeatedly offended him in the past.
But the wizards couldn't understand what was said next.
What did he say? Fighting Buddha on the border of Leizhou? Xu Qi'an fighting Buddha on the border of Leizhou? Isn't he First Rank Martial Warrior? When did First Rank -rank martial artist become able to fight against Transcendent Rank martial artist...? Questions surged in the wizards' minds.
Although First Rank experts are unattainable in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, those of Transcendent Rank are gods in people's eyes.
Anyone with a bit of knowledge and experience knows that there is an insurmountable gap between them.
"Boom!"
The night sky was covered with dark clouds, obscuring the full moon.
The Great Shaman stood at the edge of the altar, arms outstretched, connecting with the power of heaven and earth in this place.
Bolts of lightning, as thick as water vats, descended and struck the warrior in the air. The entire world seemed to reject and resist him, wanting to kill or subdue him.
The wizards trembled under this divine might, but they also felt a surge of confidence and strength.
This is their Great Shaman.
The world instantly turned a blazing white, and the lightning pillars twisted and danced wildly.
Faced with the overwhelming divine punishment, Xu Qi'an raised his hand and gently grabbed, and in an instant, the world returned to darkness, and the dark clouds dispersed.
In Xu Qi'an's palm appeared a ball of lightning with an outer layer of crackling electric arcs and an inner core of blazing white light.
"Salun Agu, you're not quite there yet!"
He clenched his fist and extinguished the lightning ball. Then, his back tensed, and his right arm pulled back, revealing intricate and profound patterns on his skin that made people dizzy.
The space around his fist distorted rapidly, as if it were about to shatter under the immense pressure.
Xu Qi'an threw a punch from a distance, the force of which produced a piercing sonic boom.
The warrior's attacks were simple and unadorned.
But the wizards below witnessed the space in front of the Great Shaman shatter like a mirror, and a rumbling sound came from the void.
As everyone knows, First Rank Great Shaman can borrow the power of heaven and earth to defend against enemies, thus being invincible from the start.
Unless a master of the same level refines this world, it will be very difficult to harm Great Shaman.
Salun Agu had used this move against the Superintendent and against Wei Yuan in his prime, and had never failed.
"Puff"
But this time, the First Rank Realm abilities of the Shaman System seemed to have failed. Salun Agu spat out blood mist, his body arched, and his legs slid back along the ground.
Thick, bright red blood clung to his thick beard.
The Great Shaman's face quickly paled, his eyes bloodshot, resembling an old man whose life force had run out.
Salun Agu sat cross-legged, his body radiating bursts of bloody light as he rapidly expelled the invading energy and repaired his injuries.
He did not attempt to retaliate with Curse Killing Technique, because it was destined to be unable to harm Half-Step Martial God.
An uproar arose.
The wizards below witnessed this scene, yet none of them dared to believe it.
One punch, just one punch, was enough to severely injure First Rank wizard.
Is this something First Rank Martial Warrior could do?
Then they remembered what Xu Qi'an had just said—"I fought against the Buddha on the border of Leizhou."
They suddenly understood why the Great Shaman was so wary; this warrior before them possessed a cultivation level far beyond their imagination.
It's only been a few months.
Such legendary figures, since they chose to be enemies, should have been eliminated at all costs from the beginning, otherwise they would have suffered a backlash sooner or later—no, they have already suffered a backlash now.
What level of attainment does he currently possess?
Various thoughts arose in the wizards' minds.
The Dongfang Sisters stared at each other in horror, both seeing fear and shock in each other's eyes. At the same time, Dongfang Wanrong saw the Shaman God beside her trembling slightly with fear.
After severely injuring the Great Shaman with a single punch, Xu Qi'an did not immediately retaliate, but instead shouted:
"The Shaman God!"
Believe it or not, I can kill all your disciples and their descendants with one punch!
As soon as the words were spoken, the sculpture wearing a crown of thorns trembled, and a thick, oil-like black mist gushed out, suddenly unfolding in the sky and forming a curtain that obscured the full moon.
Behind the curtain, a pair of indifferent eyes opened, gazing upon the entire world.
Xu Qi'an did not attempt to kill the thousands of wizards below, knowing it was impossible; the moment he stepped into the territory of Jingshan City, this place became one with the Shaman God.
To kill someone under the watchful eye of Shaman God is extremely difficult.
The fact that the punch that severely injured Salun Agu was effective suggests that the Shaman God was assessing his combat strength.
"By the Shaman God!"
Thousands of wizards prostrated themselves in worship.
A strong sense of security welled up in their hearts again, and they were no longer afraid of the pressure from the Half-Step Martial God.
"It's my turn to test you!"
The crude warrior showed no reverence for the existence of the Transcendent Rank. Intricate and profound patterns once again covered his entire body, his skin turned blood red, and blood mist spewed from his pores. In an instant, he seemed to become a symbol of power.
The space within a ten-zhang radius around him distorted violently, as if it could not withstand his power.
Nine figures emerged from the thick, oil-like curtain that shrouded the sky. Their faces were blurred, but each one was filled with terrifying power, and their boundless aura swept across the heavens and earth.
Nine First Rank Martial Warrior.
These are the First Rank Martial Warrior that the Shaman God has killed or targeted throughout countless years of the past.
It was summoned at this moment using the power of Fifth Rank "Sacrificial Priest".
Theoretically, the Shaman God can also summon the First Chief Astrologer and the Confucian Sage, both of whom have a deep connection with Him. However, the existence of the First Chief Astrologer has been completely erased by the current Superintendent.
If the Confucian Sage is summoned, the Confucian Sage may launch a powerful attack against the "summoner".
Xu Qi'an stretched out his right arm, palm facing the heroic souls of the nine First Rank Martial Warrior, and clenched his fist tightly.
Bang bang bang.
The nine First Rank Martial Warrior exploded one after another, returning to pure black mist and back into the sky-covering curtain.
The warrior spirits summoned by the wizard only possess the original owner's power and defense, as well as abilities below the Transcendent Realm.
It lacks the resilience of Undying Body and the intent of the Dao Integration Realm.
If it were simply a contest of strength, Xu Qi'an, who had absorbed the spiritual essence of gods and demons, could defeat ten first-rank martial artists.
It should be noted that even among those at the Half-Step Martial God realm, Xu Qi'an was an outstanding individual; at least, Shenshu's power was inferior to his.
The next moment, a loud "clang" rang out from Xu Qi'an's chest, like metal colliding with stone.
His chest cavity caved in.
The Shaman God used the "fall" of the nine heroic spirits to attack him with Curse Killing Technique.
The power to deform the body of Half-Step Martial God is enough to severely injure any First Rank.
As expected of a Transcendent Rank, First Rank spell could temporarily incapacitate a first-tier warrior. Xu Qi'an made a preliminary assessment of the Shaman God's power.
He was not much different from the Buddha who rescued Shenshu back then, but he was not as great as he was now, having transformed into the Buddha of the entire Western Regions.
Snap!
He snapped his fingers.
The next moment, the thick curtain covering the sky began to shake violently and boil, as if it had suffered a severe blow.
Jade Shatters!
He also returned 100% of the injuries that the Shaman God had inflicted on him.
The Shaman God did not continue casting the Curse Killing Technique, because it would be returned by the "Jade Shatters" again, and then He would cast the Curse Killing Technique again, and so on, endlessly for generations to come, which was meaningless.
A viscous, oil-like curtain slowly descended, enveloping the thousands of wizards surrounding the altar.
The Great Shaman stood up and slowly said:
"Xu Qi'an cannot stop the great calamity. The day the Shaman God breaks free from the seal will be the day the great calamity arrives."
"You can switch to the Shaman System, which will allow you to protect those around you. Only by joining forces with the Shaman God can you fight against the other four Transcendent Rank."
Xu Qi'an said calmly:
Get out!
"I have taken over the Yan, Kang, and Jing kingdoms. This is the price your Shaman God Cult must pay."
The curtain slowly retracted, returning to the sculpture wearing a crown of thorns.
Thousands of wizards, including Salun Agu, Nalan Tianlu, and two Spirit Wisdom Master, all merged into the body of the Shaman God.
This was the protection of the Shaman God, sparing them from the reckoning of Half-Step Martial God.
However, within the territory of the Three Kingdoms, including Jingshan City which was just a stone's throw away, there were not only sorcerers, but also many ordinary people and ordinary warriors.
These people cannot be protected by Shaman God.
The Shaman God Cult essentially handed over the vast Northeast, which was the price Xu Qi'an said had to pay.
Of course, for the Shaman God, the Fate has already been condensed and stored in the jade seal. Territory is no longer important in the short term.
Once He breaks through the barrier, He can contain the Fate and devour the territories of the Three Kingdoms.
"Without the Shaman God Cult, the three kingdoms of Yan, Kang, and Jing can be incorporated into the Great Feng territory. With these millions of people, the Fate of Great Feng will surely rise. For now, this is a good thing. First, inform Huaiqing and let her take over the three kingdoms as quickly as possible."
Population represents Fate.
The Fate, so their only fate was to be conquered by the Great Feng, and from then on, the three kingdoms ceased to exist.
There is a destiny in the universe.
At this moment, Xu Qi'an noticed that there was still a figure below who had not left.
She was beautiful and had a graceful figure; she was also an acquaintance.
The Holy Son's old flame, Dongfang Wanqing.
Because she was a warrior, she wasn't taken away by the Shaman God and is currently at a loss.
"Take this back to the capital and give it to Li Lingsu as a gift. Holy Son, please take care of your kidneys."
Xu Qi'an took out the Earth Book Fragment and sent a message:
[Three: Gentlemen, I am in Jingshan City.]
