Chapter 97

meant that another alien world had appeared!

Sure enough.

After arriving at the temple,

he saw a brand-new alien world passage appear outside the temple!

His expression became incredibly excited.

That ambition hidden deep in his heart...

had never diminished with age.

On the contrary, it had become even stronger.

"Conquer this world!"

"I still have two years!"

"Within two years, I must conquer it!"

"Everything I see shall belong to the Great Yan Kingdom!"

Yan clenched his fists, a voice roaring wildly in his heart.

Subsequently,

a morning court session was held in the imperial palace.

Yan scanned the ministers below, the backbone of the six ministries, and said in a deep voice: "I want to invade that world!"

As soon as he finished speaking,

the ministers bowed their heads, not daring to say another word.

They heard the indisputable tone and the stubbornness in Yan's words!

His Majesty only had three years of life left.

This was very likely...

the last world he would conquer.

Therefore, no one dared to object.

Subsequently,

the Ministry of War began to urgently discuss strategies and how to mobilize the troops.

The first thing to do, naturally, was to explore the situation of this world.

Thus...

a vanguard exploration team of hundreds entered the passage outside the temple

to collect intelligence.

One month later,

detailed intelligence reports were sent back to the Great Yan Kingdom one after another.

Diameter of 80,000 kilometers.

Population of hundreds of thousands, with sects everywhere.

Everyone mastered immortal arts, capable of breathing fire, whipping up wild winds, and so on.

At the same time,

there was another piece of intelligence returned...

that made the entire Great Yan Kingdom boil over.

"In this Immortal Cultivation world, there are vast amounts of spiritual herbs! Those immortal cultivators consume spiritual herbs, and their average lifespan is over two hundred years!"

"His Majesty's lifespan is coming to an end; if we obtain these spiritual herbs... wouldn't he be able to extend his life?"

"Conquer this world!"

"Spiritual herbs! Seize the spiritual herbs of this world and offer them to His Majesty!"

"The Great Yan Kingdom cannot be without His Majesty!"

"..."

The entire Great Yan Kingdom was filled with righteous indignation,

falling into a state of fanaticism.

In the Great Yan army,

hundreds of thousands of soldiers volunteered, stating they would definitely bring back life-extending spiritual herbs for His Majesty.

The entire army's fighting spirit soared to the heavens, their morale like a rainbow.

Under the atmosphere of the entire nation wanting war,

an army of 300,000 was quickly tallied and assembled outside the temple.

The Minister of War, Xu Shi, bowed deeply to Yan, who was sitting on the imperial carriage behind him.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I will definitely retrieve the spiritual herbs!"

However,

Yan waved his hand and said indifferently: "Whether the spiritual herbs are useful or not is yet to be known. What I want is to break through this world and bring all the immortal cultivators back!"

The aged voice echoed outside the temple.

Although not loud, it was filled with an indisputable dominance!

Nearing ninety,

Yan had seen through many things.

His lifespan could end, but everything he saw...

must belong to Great Yan!

Especially...

this world was a world of immortal cultivators!

He still remembered

when he was young,

the three worlds he had entered.

Immortal cultivators, the Witch tribe, and elves, flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth, moving mountains and filling seas, capable of anything.

He wanted to prove to the gods...

that after his years of development, the Great Yan Kingdom already possessed the ability to conquer these Extraordinary civilizations!

The Minister of War, Xu Shi, heard this and his expression became solemn.

He stood straight,

and shouted in response: "Understood!"

Subsequently,

he stepped forward,

leading the 300,000 Great Yan soldiers and various weapons and equipment toward the alien world passage.

A voice quietly rose throughout the entire army.

"Under the vast heavens, is there any land that is not the King's?"

"Within the borders of the land, is there anyone who is not the King's subject?"

At first, it was just one or two people,

but gradually,

the sound grew louder and louder.

Uniform and consistent, the momentum was magnificent.

Hundreds of thousands of people followed, shouting in unison.

The scene was spectacular.

This sentence came from the Divine Book, an ancient saying recorded in it.

It was even more a portrayal of Yan's lifelong will.

From the beginning of his reign, he had conquered the wilderness and the oceans,

exploring the entire Blue Star!

He advanced technology and even personally led troops to conquer the entire Martial Arts civilization!

And this time...

because of his old age, he could no longer go on the expedition.

But the 300,000 soldiers were all inheritors of his will.

Under the vast heavens, is there any land that is not the King's!

Within the borders of the land, is there anyone who is not the King's subject!

Even if it were an alien world, even if it were an Extraordinary world...

they would conquer it and trample it underfoot.

Bring it back and offer it to His Majesty!

Immortal Cultivation world.

The 300,000-strong army marched into it in a grand manner.

Because of their massive numbers, they quickly attracted the attention of the immortal cultivators.

Xu Shi did not choose to attack rashly at first,

but instead set up camp and occupied a favorable position,

preparing for a long-term war.

This world was filled with immortal cultivators everywhere.

The powerful ones even reached the Second Order in strength.

It was impossible to be conquered as easily as the Martial Arts world.

Moreover,

in this world,

everyone practiced immortal cultivation.

Even if they hadn't reached the First Order, their physiques were still astonishing.

Each one could fight ten.

This war of conquest...

was bound to be extremely difficult!

Subsequently,

one month after the Great Yan army invaded,

the immortal cultivators gradually discovered...

that although the Great Yan army appeared to have 300,000 men, they were all ordinary mortals.

The three major sects united, assembled 20,000 men, and launched an attack on the Great Yan army.

Xu Shi did not retreat or fear.

Facing the army of immortal cultivators who mastered Extraordinary powers...

he lined up the long-gun squads, ignited the cannons, and began to fight back!

The Great Yan Kingdom, after years of development,

had long since updated and improved their firearms and cannons several times.

The current firearms should be called long-guns.

By pulling the trigger, they could be fired conveniently and continuously.

The rate of fire was fast, and the power was strong.

And the cannons had also been improved several times, their power multiplied several times over.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The great battle broke out instantly.

The power of the long-guns and cannons gave the immortal cultivator army a shock.

But as immortal cultivators,

they reacted quickly and launched a fierce counterattack,

unleashing various Extraordinary spells against the Great Yan army.

Spells of fire, explosions, and wild winds descended upon the Great Yan army.

Caught off guard, the Great Yan army suffered heavy casualties.

But the immortal cultivator army didn't have it easy either.

The power of the long-guns and cannons had been increased several times.

Even a First-Order immortal cultivator could be taken down with one shot.

They...

simply couldn't block the bullets.

Once hit by a cannon, dozens of immortal cultivators would be wiped out.

For a time,

both sides suffered extremely heavy casualties.

And Xu Shi, sitting in command of the army,

looked at the immortal cultivator army displaying various Extraordinary means,

and shouted orders to the entire army: "I have already investigated! Inside these three sects, there are vast amounts of spiritual herbs!"

"Suppress and kill them, seize the spiritual herbs, and bring them back to offer to His Majesty!"

"Kill them all!"

"They are afraid! Attack, the whole army attack!!"

In an instant,

the morale of the Great Yan army soared.

Everyone's eyes were red with the desire to kill.

By the end of the battle,

the well-trained nature of the Great Yan army was reflected.

The immortal cultivator army was only temporarily assembled, and upon seeing their own casualties increasing...

they began to rout.

The Great Yan army remained guarding the front line, not retreating an inch.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The cannons fired mercilessly, harvesting batch after batch of immortal cultivators.

In the end,

the 20,000 immortal cultivators gathered by the three major sects...

were all buried in this battle.

Not one escaped!

And the Great Yan army also paid the heavy price of thousands of soldiers killed in action!

"Take over their sects, harvest the spiritual herbs, leave none behind, bring them all back to the Great Yan Kingdom, and offer them to His Majesty!"

After the battle ended,

Xu Shi took a deep breath,

leading the Great Yan army to occupy the territories of the three major sects.

A large amount of spiritual herbs were harvested and sent back to the Great Yan Kingdom through the world passage,

offered up to the imperial palace hall.
