Prince Ding led the last 20 Disha Realm experts under him and arrived before the Myriad Mountain Pass.
He had previously received news from Fang Yuan that the imperial court's army had been completely wiped out and that they could lead their army toward the north.
Currently, all of the many mountains and the tall city walls, which had been where the Myriad Mountain Pass was located, had already disappeared. All that remained now was a hellish state.
The place was just left with dilapidated wall remains and dissolved land. The army that had been there originally had already disappeared. Within a range of ten lis, not even a bug had survived, let alone the imperial court's army.
At the sight of this scene, Prince Ding laughed out loudly, "Heaven is on my side. I am the one destined to rule the world.
"So what if there's a 100, 000-man army? So what if it's an impregnable pass?
"Hahahaha, charge on and fight! Fight our way back to Divine Capital! I shall let that young Fang Xuan see who the real destined Emperor is!"
As Xiao Shen and the other five joined hands, the rebels from the southern borders struck back with great ease.
With the joint forces of the six Great Dao Realm cultivators, the imperial court's army had no means of resistance.
Qian Huang and Ru Zi provided endless supply of Gang Qis, while Xiao Shen locked onto the targets across great distances through his means of shattering void space. Fang Yuan used her 33 Paradises technique to bind the targets, then Fang Tao used Electromagnetic Drive to propel his super strong fist force to wipe out the opponents.
Loree did not have to make a move. The troops the imperial court stationed there had already been wiped out easily.
It was because the army had no means of defending, dodging, or retaliating this set of attacking means.
Fang Tao seemed like he was looking at a map, wiping out many armies with a single finger. The entire process was extremely easy.
This was the terrifying destructive prowess that Great Dao Realm cultivators could produce upon joining forces.
Prince Ding led his army to head north. No matter what targets they faced, Fang Tao would wipe out the armies and generals of those places across space before the battles started.
Even the Sharp Swords troop and experts, who were equipped with Universe Knight Systems, were completely defenseless. They did not even know how they had died.
Within half a month, the imperial court's armies kept on being pushed back repeatedly, suffering great casualties. Over 200, 000 men were wiped out in battle.
This was not just a crushing defeat. A great force of 200, 000 men had died.
The rebels continued to push on toward the north, regaining half the world within a short period of time. They fought their way to Qing River, battling against the imperial with Qing River as the divider between the south and the north.
If it was not because Prince Ding did not have enough generals, troops, and officials working under him, it would not be hard for them to fight their way to the Divine Capital. Right now, however, they could only take over the territories slowly.
Despite this, it was still considered to be world-astonishing, striking great terror through the imperial court.
This was especially when it was hard to tell that Xiao Shen's and the group's attacks came from cultivators. It was as if there were divine punishments coming down from the heavens, wiping out the many armies and deepening the terror in people's hearts.
With the help of the identity of his daughter Fang Yuan, Prince Ding eventually became the rebels' leader. There was even a faint sign of him being supported as the true Emperor.
"I've decided to ascend the throne in half a months' time, " Prince Ding said proudly while stroking his beard.
An elderly subject stepped out anxiously to persuade him otherwise. When had there ever been a ruler who ascended to the throne before they managed to unify the lands? This would destroy their righteous calling.
However, there were even more bootlickers who stood out to fawn over, causing Prince Ding to break out in laughter.
"Alright, I shall ascend to the throne in half a months' time. This will make our actions legitimate, letting the traitors in the north understand who is the true legitimism." Prince Ding had already decided to tell his daughter to send down divine punishment onto the imperial court in another half a month.
Many elderly subjects felt very disappointed by Prince Ding's decision.
However, this was actually a very normal thing. In the 300 years since the Great Jin Dynasty had been founded, there had been too many profligates and useless people in the royal family.
If it was not for the fact that Prince Ding and liked to do grandiose things to impress as well as having a fiery temper, how could he have been banished to the southern borders by the previous Emperor? Fang Xuan's useless uncles were only able to keep their lives because they were useless.
Right now, on the Flying Immortal Mountain, Xiao Shen performed his ability to shatter void space and observed the area in the direction of the arsenal that was outside the Divine Capital.
Ever since Jiuqian activated Gang Qis to wrap around the entire arsenal, the density of the Gang Qis on the surface of the land as well as from underground had kept on increasing.
With the vacuum engine, Jiuqian could almost draw out Casimir forces endlessly from void space. It was a type of omnipresent and endless source of energy. Jiuqian's Gang Qis were almost endless as well, seeming as if they would never be depleted.
Right now, if one looked down upon the arsenal from the sky, it would seem like it had been wrapped up by a layer of fog that was almost material. Xiao Shen made several attempts to approach, but he could not get close, let alone being able to see what was inside.
Even when he performed his ability to shatter void space and enter the place, all he saw when he opened up the space each time was only endless Gang Qis.
"This Fang Xuan... What on earth is he doing?" Xiao Shen frowned and looked at the thick Gang Qis that kept on increasing in density. Xiao Shen's eyes were filled with doubt.
Beside him, the other five Great Dao Realm experts also seemed to be wearing shocked and puzzled expressions on their faces.
The rebels had been winning consecutive battles over the past half a month's time. However, Xiao Shen and the others understood that as long as Fang Xuan and Marie were still around, it would be meaningless regardless of how many people from the imperial court died.
Yet no matter how they massacred the imperial court's armies during this past half a month, neither Fang Xuan nor Marie made a move. It was as if they did not care what happened to these people.
Thereafter, they also ascertained the news that for reasons unknown to them, Fang Xuan had started hiding in the secret arsenal outside the Divine Capital since half a month ago. After that, endless Gang Qis had covered the entire surface and underground. Noone was able to take a step inside.
With the passing of time, an intense feeling of being threatened kept on rising in their hearts, as if telling them that something bad was about to happen.
This was something that was only accorded to heaven-blessed cultivators and Great Dao Realm experts. Their consciousness and strength were connected with the world, allowing them to predict future danger.
When Xiao Shen was battling with the Crown Princess, he had experienced this feeling before.
He had also felt it when he watched the battle between Blood Sea and Fang Xingjian.
Today, this threatening feeling seemed to have reached a great extreme. The surrounding air seemed to be filled with needles, poking them incessantly.
The target was very clear. It was in that secret arsenal in the Divine Capital. Under the layers of Gang Qis, something extremely terrifying was about to be born.
"No matter what Fang Xuan is trying to pull, we must stop him, " Xiao Shen said calmly while looking at the scene that was 10, 000 lis away."Even a great army of several hundred thousand men and half the world isn't enough to lure him out. The thing he is preparing is definitely no small matter."
"Then we'll just make a move." Fang Yuan broke into a hint of a brutal smile."My 33 Paradises technique has modified the distances of the entire area around the Flying Immortal Mountain. If they wish to attack their way here, they'll have to travel millions and millions of lis."
"We'll still go with the five of us attacking first, then Loree will monitor and provide support from the back, " Fang Tao said, looking at Loree.
