Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Quelling the Chaos_1
A hundred thousand divine warriors lined up, a mighty army as far as the eye could see!
Though it was merely a fraction of King Wei Wu's five million-strong force, its spirit wasn't something his hastily assembled army could match.
Victorious in every battle, undefeated in every attack!
This indicated an invincible force.
Compared to this force, King Wei Wu's army seemed insignificant, like little fish and shrimp, not worth mentioning.
"Divine Warrior Legion!" King Wei Wu's pupils contracted, raging, "A spatial divine artifact, you actually possess a spatial divine artifact, it's impossible for this to have been left by the previous Emperor!"
A hundred thousand divine warriors appeared as if descended from the heavens. Only a spatial divine artifact could explain this.
Know that the Break Sky Hammer he accidentally obtained from ancient ruins, though an attack-type divine artifact, is incapable of containing such a vast army.
"However, even with a hundred thousand soldiers, the situation won't change."
Just as King Wei Wu was regaining his calm, he noticed the seven or eight figures standing before the massive army, "Half-step to Divine? Where did you get these half-step to Divine?"
Couting himself, his side only had five half-step to Divine. However, eight appeared suddenly on Chu Yuan's side, not to mention the numerous experts in the Divine Realm among the Sect's army.
"I, Elder Qiyun," Qiyun, who wouldn't dare to take on his Sect Master's identity at this point, replied, "From Linhai County, Southwest State."
"There's no Linhai County in Dawu! Southwest State, what?" King Wei Wu was taken aback. "Southwest State, a gathering place of the Sects, you guys actually pledged allegiance to Chu Yuan!"
"His Majesty is akin to the Emperor reincarnated, where he goes majesty pervades, the earth illuminated by his grace is Dawu territory and we, Dawu subjects. King Wei Wu, awaken to this reality!"
Ever since Qiyun saw Chu Yuan's power, he has wholeheartedly considered himself a Dawu subject. Now, due to the War Army Chessboard, he also became a member of the Divine Warrior Legion.
"Wish for this king to awaken, impossible, hahaha! I've witnessed dozens of dynastic rises and falls, standing firm to this day, relying on my own strength. Even the previous Emperor didn't dare to touch me!"
King Wei Wu roared wildly, "Chu Yuan, come and fight!"
His aura erupted, a formidable punch that was fierce like a raging inferno, ruthlessly smashing towards Chu Yuan. Initially, Qiyun, a formidable figure, was standing in front of Chu Yuan, but he was suddenly knocked back.
"The previous Emperor didn't dare, but I dare."
Chu Yuan stated calmly and coldly.
In that split second, he, too, responded to King Wei Wu's attack with a punch.
An intense battle aura clashed with the punch, causing King Wei Wu to grunt and fly backward.
Chu Yuan advanced once again, delivering seven continuous punches, each containing an immense world-breaking strength.
Bang.....
Seven loud noises. King Wei Wu had wanted to Capture the King First, but he had underestimated Chu Yuan's strength.
His divine spells were shattered when encountering Chu Yuan's overwhelming power. Especially after the final punch, even his armor couldn't withstand this force, shattering loudly as his hair splayed out wildly.
The mighty King Wei Wu had no power to fight back against Chu Yuan and was beaten like a dead dog. Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events and couldn't react in time.
"Nine Heavens Breaking Blade!"
King Wei Wu's face changed repeatedly.
He rubbed his hands together, and a rainbow blade broke through the sky. It wasn't a real blade, but one forged from mana. His entire figure seemed to grow thousands of feet taller, unleashing a fierce attack on Chu Yuan.
"All rebels below, die!"
Chu Yuan's face remained unchanged in the face of this blade.
With a grab, he caught the Nine Heavens Breaking Blade, then with a fierce shake, the blade shattered. The scattering energy nearly injured King Wei Wu.
"Withdraw the troops! Sound the gong to retreat!"
King Wei Wu yelled in rage.
From the moment the hundred thousand divine warriors appeared and strong figures like Qiyun pledged their allegiance to Chu Yuan, the tide had turned. Combined with his inability to handle Chu Yuan, King Wei Wu knew he was defeated.
Moreover, the Purple-Scaled Thunder Dragon had also surrendered to Chu Yuan.
The only thing he could do now was to withdraw his troops, preserve his strength, and perhaps align with the Four Hidden Nations to potentially turn the tide.
He no longer had time to think about the sudden boost in Chu Yuan's strength.
The retreat of the four to five million soldiers was not a withdrawal, but a rout. Suddenly, chaos ensued. The horde hadn't even waited for Chu Yuan's army to attack before they started panicking.
The wails and screams echoed back and forth, and within the flickering moment of withdrawal, countless people were trampled to death.
"Rebel, thinking of escaping? I will not allow it!"
Upon seeing King Wei Wu attempting to retreat, Chu Yuan's eyes sparkled with cold light.
"Stop your insolence! To kill me, you're still lacking!"
Hearing Chu Yuan's voice, King Wei Wu almost spat out blood in anger. His speed skyrocketed. As long as he didn't die, even if his army of five million suffered heavy losses, he could still rise again.
He would remember this grudge!
"Nothing more than that!"
Chu Yuan raised both his arms to the sky. Suddenly, the Divine Enthronement Stele trapped King Wei Wu in the middle.
He could not break through the domain of the divine artifact no matter how fast he tried.
Chu Yuan's whole body emitted boundless golden light. With a step, a giant palm fell upon the face of the terrified King Wei Wu, then enveloped him.
Ah ah!
In the battlefield, the shrill howls of King Wei Wu echoed.
His whole body ignited a golden flame, completely burning him. Subsequently, he was actually refined to death in front of countless people's eyes.
In an instant, the magnificent King Wei Wu, who had led an army of five million to attack the city, was shockingly refined to death by Emperor Dawu. This was an alarming change, as if it were a gap between heaven and hell.
The Grand Martial Army, who had already witnessed Chu Yuan's terrifying power, kept their composure.
However, the one million Forbidden Army and five million enemy troops were thoroughly stunned.
Even though the previous withdrawal horn had stirred disorder, there was still a semblance of order. But with the death of King Wei Wu, it turned into a rout. It was chaos, beyond control.
"Emperor Dawu, how did he become so powerful!"
The Fire King from Daejeon, having witnessed what had happened, had a drastic change in expression. However, his reaction was pretty quick. He was transformed into a streak of firelight and quickly fled the battlefield.
"People from Daejeon, stepping foot on my Dawu nation's land, you deserve to die!"
Chu Yuan's right hand swiftly hooked in, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Fire King. Countless black rays sporadically flashed past.
The Fire King trembled and his body was segmented into countless pieces of flesh, leaving no resting place for him in death!
"Ah! King Wei Wu, Fire King, they've been killed!"
Other regional kings let out terrified screams.
"It's impossible, how could our siege with five million troops fail!"
"Run, if Emperor catches us, there's only death!"
"It's over, it's all over. Had I known this would happen today, I would never have been beguiled by King Wei Wu!"
.....
The slaughter of two demi-god experts entirely demoralized the army that had come to lay siege.
"No! How could I lose, Chu Yuan!"
Shangguan Qingyun and Li Yun were also terrified!
The two of them planned to escape, but figures like Qingyun and others from such sects were thinking of making great contributions. How could they let these two get away? Immediately, a large number of powerful figures attacked.
Although the two were demi-gods, they were no match for Qingyun and others who held a numerical advantage. Without needing Chu Yuan to make a move, they were immediately reduced to corpses.
The one million Forbidden Army rushed out of the Imperial City, cooperating with the Grand Martial Army to kill and capture the retreating enemy soldiers.
Within a few hours, a great part of the several million-strong army had become captives.
