Chapter 604: with translation of chapter title

On the other side, the battle here in the Heaven Hunt Immortal Forest has also ended, and this place has been completely occupied by the great army of the Eternal Night Empire.

The two Heavenly-rank Light Envoys stationed here were no match for the Eternal Night War God Shura at all; they were slaughtered within a few rounds, and the remaining twenty Earth-rank Light Envoys need not be mentioned—they were each cut down by a single strike of the Profound Heaven Divine Lord.

Without high-end combat power as a vanguard, the remaining over two hundred million Light Immortal Soldiers, no matter how numerous, were merely lambs to the slaughter, and they soon surrendered in large numbers.

Thus, the two heavenly moat defense lines of the Light Divine Kingdom resisting foreign invaders have all been declared sunk, and the gates are now wide open.

"Young Master, the surrendered troops still number 180 million; how should we deal with them?"

In the flying carriage of the Eternal Night Empire's commander-in-chief above the void of the Heaven Hunt Immortal Forest, the Eternal Night Emperor cupped his hands toward Li Yin seated on the main seat and asked.

After pondering, Li Yin said in a solemn voice: "Since they have surrendered, let's not add needless slaughter; keep them, and only then can their value be fully realized."

"Have the rear dispatch troops to escort these surrendered soldiers back to the country; wherever construction is needed or manpower is lacking, assign them there."

"By the way, to ensure these surrendered troops obey, we must have each sign a life-and-death contract; let them work for free for a hundred thousand years first."

The Eternal Night Emperor blinked at the words, wondering why they sounded so familiar.

"Right, just now when my subordinate came to report, it seemed he had said this before."

"That Soaring Clouds Immortal Dynasty over there treated the Light's surrendered troops the same way; this method is hardly different from the Young Master's—it's almost as if they came from the same sect… probably just a coincidence…"

Not thinking further, the Eternal Night Emperor continued: "By the way, Young Master, I still haven't reported one piece of news; according to the scouts, that Soaring Clouds Immortal Dynasty captured the Nirvana Immortal Abyss yesterday, and early this morning they marched again toward the Light Divine Capital."

"Huh? They're actually this fast, even a step ahead of us; we need to speed up, lest this ripe peach be plucked by others."

……

After the Eternal Night Empire side escorted the surrendered troops back to the country, the army then marched swiftly toward the Light Divine Capital; wherever they went, they attacked and conquered, winning every battle! They successively captured hundreds of Light's vassal immortal states.

The other route's Azure Cloud Legion was likewise unstoppable; even if the Light Divine Lord repeatedly ordered his over ten thousand vassal immortal states to activate a state of national war and resist to the bitter end, any resistance before absolute power is like a mayfly shaking a tree—utterly futile!

In the following days, the two advancing armies could be described as mighty and imposing, drawing the gaze of all the immortal provinces.

"Damn! Not good! The Soaring Clouds Immortal Dynasty has already invaded the heartland of Light; they're about to reach the divine capital!"

"Damn fast! Not to mention those vassal states that surrendered at the first sign of wind—even the immortal cities of the Light Divine Kingdom's homeland can't withstand Lingyun's assault! I heard Lingyun has several supreme divine lords, one of them a high-level peak divine lord! Where did this huge force come from to intervene?"

"Exactly, this time the Qinghan Hegemon Light Divine Kingdom is really in danger; don't forget there's another strong enemy—the Eternal Night Empire! The pattern of our Qinghan Immortal Province is truly about to be rewritten!"

"No way, fellow Daoist, you're not a loose cultivator, so why are you so concerned about Light's affairs?"

"Well... it's because I've put all my damn assets on the line! If Light really loses, I won't even have a pair of underpants left!"

Countless cultivators of Qinghan discussed passionately; many matters were none of their business and they brushed them off, while many others involved their own interests, and each had their own plans; for a moment the situation again rose with wind and clouds, tumultuous and unpredictable.

"Heavenly Brave Immortal City, Heavenly Marsh Immortal City, Limitless Immortal City, Boundless Immortal City… Fearless Immortal City—this is the last immortal city in this direction, right? Beyond that lies the heartland of Qinghan, the Light Divine Capital."

Above the void, within the massive commander's flying carriage of the Azure Cloud Legion, the Black Emperor lay reclining on the soft couch and spoke leisurely.

All the way here, it took only a short two and a half days, and there wasn't a single worthy opponent—how boring.

"Right, once we take the Light Divine Capital, the rest will be easy; we just need to send strong cultivators and troops to take over the captured immortal cities and states, then pacify the people, rebuild order, and they'll soon rally to us."

"However, wanting to unify Qinghan Immortal Province isn't enough yet; don't forget, Qinghan also has the Eternal Night Empire, which occupies a vast territory and surely has greater overall strength than Light—otherwise their army couldn't have advanced this quickly as well; reckoning the time, they're already about to reach the outskirts of the Light Divine Capital."

Seated on the main seat, Shi Hao sat upright, analyzing the current situation in detail.

"Rest assured, Shi Hao, in my view the Eternal Night Empire is just a chicken and dog; taking them down will be just as easy."

The Black Emperor rose from the soft couch, stretched lazily, and said: "Phew! But after we take the Light Divine Capital, we need to rest properly and recuperate."

"We must sleep! Who made our cultivation art the Sleep-Dream Ascension Great Law?"

The six-million-strong Azure Cloud Legion marched all the way, trampling clouds and speeding forward; before long they reached the void a hundred thousand li outside the Light Divine Capital.

"Report! Reporting to Shi Hao, Lord Black Emperor, according to the scouts, the Eternal Night Empire's army has also arrived and is marching toward our direction."
