Chapter 75

The Great Yan army made a decisive decision.

Setting up several cannons and bombarding the Emerald Bamboo Forest indiscriminately.

Only then did they blast Heavenly Secret Old Man into serious injury and successfully capture him.

"Your martial arts are the best in the world; I intend to hire you to be the Chief of the Inner Palace, are you willing to submit?"

Yan looked down at the old man in the cage and said slowly.

The old man sneered and said nothing.

Even if seriously injured and dying.

He had no intention of begging for mercy.

Yan frowned.

From Heavenly Secret Old Man's eyes, he read that this old man would never surrender.

"Fine."

He sighed, giving up the idea of subduing him.

Watching with his own eyes as the old man in the cage died...

Slowly.

After Heavenly Secret Old Man died.

He turned around.

Looked at the Great Yan army general behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Now, the top experts of this world have all been eradicated."

"I want to conquer this world within one year!"

"Yes!"

The Great Yan army generals were fanatical and excited.

Subsequently.

Under Yan's leadership, they began to formulate a strategy for conquest.

"This martial arts world is about 20,000 kilometers in diameter, with a population of 800,000, and everyone practices martial arts."

"We are currently in the east of the world; let's attack the four directions first, and finally combine our forces to attack the center!"

"But we must consider one thing: once we launch a full-scale invasion, we will inevitably encounter the resistance of the eight major sects and 800,000 martial artists!"

"The eight major sects are not worth worrying about..."

Soon.

After formulating the overall strategy.

The one hundred thousand troops launched with a roar, gathered in one place, and appeared before the world.

Under the fierce offensive of muskets and cannons.

In just one month.

The Great Yan army occupied all the eastern regions.

Capturing a large number of martial artists.

All were put in chains and transported back to the Blue Star through the world passage.

And the entire martial arts world...

Was greatly shaken by this.

Countless martial artists were in danger, and began to spontaneously flock to the eight major sects.

The eight major sects also united.

Summoning martial artists from the martial arts world, forming an army of hundreds of thousands of martial artists.

Setting up a battle line.

And began a fierce confrontation with the Great Yan army.

However...

The weapons of the martial artist army were all short-range.

They couldn't block the collective shooting of the muskets at all.

Even if they retreated to defend the city, under the attack of the cannons, the city would soon crumble.

The defense line of the martial artist army was constantly collapsing.

The 32nd year of the Great Yan calendar.

End of the year.

"Boom!"

With the last roar of the cannon.

The last city in the center of the martial arts world was also opened by the Great Yan army using violent means.

"Surrender and live!"

"Resist and be killed!"

A voice echoed over the city.

"Bang!"

0

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Under the suppression of musket firepower, those martial artists who still wanted to resist were all riddled with bullets.

The remaining martial artists, who were scared out of their wits...

Raised their hands one after another.

Resigned to surrender.

"Taking one year, I have finally conquered this world..."

Yan stepped onto the city wall, filled with emotion.

This year.

He had been staying on the front line.

Commanding the Great Yan army to attack cities and seize land.

It was also in this battle...

That he witnessed the horror of muskets and cannons with his own eyes.

Those powerful martial artists.

Had no power to fight back in front of muskets and cannons.

Even the most powerful nine sect masters, as well as Heavenly Secret Old Man, could not escape death.

"Is this... the power of technology that the god spoke of?"

Yan muttered.

There was a fire burning in his eyes.

Vaguely, he seemed to understand what technology was.

The original Great Yan army could not have been the match of these martial artists at all.

These martial artists practiced martial arts from a young age, and some even practiced true Qi.

In terms of one-on-one combat.

Each could fight ten, or even a hundred.

But Great Yan army vs. martial artist army...

Was a one-sided crushing!

The reason was that they invented gunpowder.

And improved gunpowder to create powerful muskets and cannons.

But...

He also had self-knowledge.

The power of muskets and cannons, compared to those immortal cultivators, Ancestral Witches, and elves, was still too weak.

Those immortal cultivators, Ancestral Witches, and elves, with a wave of their hands...

Could unleash attacks more powerful than cannons!

Yan took a deep breath.

0

He understood.

The path of the Great Yan Kingdom had just begun and still had a long way to go.

He wanted to conquer more worlds and open up an unprecedented empire...

He still needed to continuously climb the ladder of technology!

"Your Majesty, excluding the 300,000 captives previously transported back to the Great Yan Kingdom, this time there are about 100,000 captives; should they all be sent back to the Great Yan Kingdom?"

Suddenly.

A Great Yan army general interrupted his thoughts.

Yan frowned and said: "No need, there are still three large mines in this world; let these 100,000 people stay and mine!"

In this world.

There were still three ore veins.

Containing large amounts of sulfur and nitrate.

These were all raw materials for making gunpowder.

Which were exactly what the Great Yan Kingdom was currently lacking.

In the sky of the martial arts world.

Qin Mu was standing in the void, looking down at this world.

"The military exercise is finally over..."

This time.

He was very satisfied with the performance of the Great Yan army.

Under Yan's command, the Great Yan army perfectly utilized the advantage of their weapons.

Crushing all the way.

After this year of fighting.

The one hundred thousand Great Yan soldiers were also familiar with the use and combat methods of thermal weapons.

From being unfamiliar at the beginning to becoming increasingly proficient.

It had already achieved the effect of a military exercise.

And under Yan's order...

All 300,000 martial artists were escorted back to the Great Yan Kingdom.

The remaining 100,000 martial artists, under the guard of the Great Yan army, were mining day and night.

Three months later.

The sulfur and nitrate mines in the three ore veins were all completely mined.

And transported back to the Great Yan Kingdom.

And these 100,000 martial artist captives were also brought back to the Great Yan Kingdom.

With this.

The entire martial arts world...

Was completely emptied.

There was not a single living creature left.

This was also something he had specifically instructed Yan to do.

"Next, it's time to absorb the source..."

Qin Mu looked at the world with a diameter of 20,000 kilometers under his feet and took a deep breath.

Because of the death of its original owner, this world.

The source energy was dissipating rapidly.

The remaining source was only about one-fifth of a source.

However...

Based on the principle that even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small.

Qin Mu still reached out his hand and ignited the divine fire.

Extracting the source of this world.

"Boom!"

With the continuous extraction of the source.

The vitality of this world disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

All plants withered instantly.

The earth cracked, and death energy grew.

Then.

After draining all the source.

Qin Mu opened the world passage again, and this piece of dead, silent land with a diameter of 20,000 kilometers...

Was transported to the technological universe and thrown into the vast space.

For other extraordinary civilizations, this kind of land is waste.

Having no value.

But for him...

It was a scarce material for the star-building movement.

Once he had saved up a certain amount of abandoned worlds, he could launch another star-building movement.

Evolving new stars and galaxies.

"It's already close to three million kilometers?"

Glancing at the universe.

Qin Mu discovered that the diameter of the technological universe had expanded to three million kilometers.

At the same time.

The eternal divine fire above the Thirty-Three Heavens...

Had risen by another notch.

Becoming even more vigorous.
