Chapter 101 - The Last Remaining Straw
Chapter 101 – The Last Remaining Straw
Wang Wei looked at the dead commander he was holding, then he threw it away just like thrash. Then his gaze turned to the cultivating army.
Despite the fact that the army commander was dead, they did not seem to want to stop. This was a sharp contrast to the ordinary soldiers who already threw away their weapon and knelt in the ground.
Wang Wei guessed that these people were personally trained by the royal family, and the concept of loyalty has been ingrained deep into their bones and soul.
However, Wang Wei did not want to waste time with these weaklings. With a thought, he mobilized the power of his 13th layer of Bodyrefining and his Infinite Expanding Divine Sea and merged them together into his True Will.
A strange and mysterious power gathered from Wang Wei and enveloped all the cultivators in the kingdom's army.
All of them spewed out a mouthful of blood and fell down on the floor. Then, to their horror, they found that the blood qi in their bodies were scattered, and those who had opened up their divine sea realized that it was completely destroyed.
They all had turned into mortals. All 250 of them.
Without looking at those cultivators, Wang Wei rushed to the massive 200 meters gate of the city. With just one punch, he destroyed it and allowed his army to enter and occupy this city.
Meanwhile, another city in the same county.
Li Jun looked at the army in front of him and sighed. Since no one paid attention to his warning, he will use force.
With a wave of his spear, countless red spots from both his soldiers and the kingdom rose into the air. This was the slaughter qi of the soldiers.
Under Li Jun's control, the slaughter qi turned into a 50 meters long and 5 meters wide spear. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the commander of the opposing army, who was actually a woman.
The giant spear cut threw the army like a knife cutting through butter. Everywhere it went, flesh and blood were left in its path.
What's even worse is the fact that as more people die, the spear becomes longer and stronger. However, soon, the spear was destroyed by the combined attacks of countless cultivators.
However, Li Jun had already breached most of the army's defense and was not far from the commander. As such, he used his signature move,
He gathered all the slaughter qi in the battlefield and reinforced his spear, then he threw it with all his strength.
The spear broke the air as it moved rapidly. Following the sound of cannonball, the spear rapidly approached the commander.
However, a few meters from her, countless thick walls rose from the ground and protected her. Unfortunately, this protection measure was of no use.
The spear easily penetrated the walls and without stopping or reducing its speed, it pierced the throat of the commander. The force of the spear pushed her away from her horse until she fell to the ground a few meters away.
Then with a wave of his hand, the spear returned to Li Jun's hand. Then, he went on to massacre the cultivating army.
After using his swift movement to dodge the first wave of origin abilities, he cut each of them with his spear before they could recite any other spells.
On Yan Liling' side, she was also leading her own army. Her fighting style was even more efficient than both Wang Wei and Li Jun.
She took out a pill from her space ring and crushed it. Then an overwhelming odor covered the Eastern Rain Kingdom's army. Immediately afterwards, more than a quarter of the army fell down on the floor unconscious.
Then, Yan Liling pronounced a few words to use an origin ability. A dragon made of fire appeared in front of her. With a wave of her hand, the dragon flew in the sky and bypassed most of the army.
When it reached close to the commander, it spewed out a breath of fire. The commander did not have time to react from the previous shock of his men's sudden incapacitation before he started screaming in agony, then he was turned into ashes by the flame.
Then the dragon fire looked in the direction of the cultivating army and headed to deal with them without giving them the chance to react.
In two other cities, both General 4 and 5 had also just finished a battle. However, unlike the three Divine Altar cultivators, their fights were quite brutal.
Both of them had countless arrows stuck on their bodies with blood spilling out everywhere. There were many fire burns, freezing burns and lightning burns. However, despite the pitiful states they were in, they both were quite happy as they were victorious in their battles and had each conquered a city on their own.
Furthermore, the intense fighting had increased their experience and strengthened their foundations. They could tell that after a few battles like this one, their foundations will be strong enough to break through to the Divine Altar Realm.
After taking a few healing pills, General 4 and 5 entered their respective cities to take control over.
Late at night, after settling the surrendered soldiers and reinsuring the citizens, Wang Wei was sitting in the City Lord Mansion reading a cultivation technique.
During the battle today, he discovered that the majority of cultivators in the army were in the Bodyrefining Realm, yet they could still use spells. This was a little shock to Wang Wei as he knew that only cultivators in the Divine Sea could do that.
So as soon as he had a moment of break, he checked the city lord mansion to find the answer. It turns out that the people of this world are so enamored about spells or origin abilities that they have invented a way for Bodyrefining Realm cultivators to combine their blood qi together in order to use them.
After reading this, Wang Wei had to sigh at the wisdom of people. The people of this world might be from a weak plane, but they made the best of the circumstances they are given.
Wang Wei has never heard of a method that uses blood qi to make spells from his world. It's not that the people from the Myriad Emperor are not as inventive as the people of this world.
It's just that they do not care about such a thing. To the people of higher planes, so what if Bodyrefining realm cultivators can use spells, they are still as weak as ants.
Even if such an ingenious method was brought to the Myriad Emperor World, most cultivators would just shrug it off and sneer at such low level methods.
However, Wang Wei did not think so. This method made him realize that every world or plane out there in the Endless Void has developed different cultures, ideas, and knowledge that are completely unique to their environment.
Instead of ignoring them or looking down on their methods, the cultivators of the Myriad Emperor World should absorb such knowledge as their own and further strengthen their own civilization.
With this idea in mind, Wang Wei made further plans for what to do when he becomes a Great Emperor.
After resting for a few days, Wang Wei continued his rapid expeditions to conquer the Eastern Rain Kingdom.
Throughout his journey, he and the others encountered countless battles, countless sneak attacks from different terrains.
One time Wang Wei's army was attacked by a group of cultivators who hid at the bottom of a river by holding their breath.
Nevertheless, despite the many trials and tribulations, all three of Wang Wei, Li Jun, and Yan Liling used absolute force to break through every obstacle in their paths.
Just like that, three years had passed. Wang Wei and his group had already conquered all the 72 states of the Eastern Rain Kingdom.
The only place left standing was the imperial capital. And the main reason for that was the fact that Wang Wei bypassed the capital located at the center of the kingdom and conquered the states eastward so that his territory could quickly occupy the sea shore.
After conquering the states near the ocean, Wang Wei returned to the capital at last to end this war.
Wang Wei was sitting in a military barrack not far from the capital. 'Hey, it is really hard to move around in this large world without teleportation formations,' thought Wang Wei to himself.
If this world had a thing such as teleportation, he could have conquered this kingdom in just a few months. However, he needed to use many demonic beasts to transport troops everywhere he goes. And the process was extremely slow–well at least to Wang Wei and the others,
After gathering his scattered thoughts, Wang Wei asked the people in the room:
"Did anyone find a method to quickly destroy the powerful array that covered the entire capital?"
However, no one answered him and most of the people lowered their heads and dared not look him in the eyes.
Wang Wei did not blame these people for not having a good idea as even he was stuck. According to his calculation, even if he, Li Jun, and Yan Liling attached this formation together, it will take at least three months of constant bombardment to break it.
In fact, the formation itself was not actually powerful–especially for an expert in runes like Wang Wei. What made this array so strong was the fact the king used the remaining luck of the kingdom and blessed it on the formation.
As such, the defensive power was raised to an unimaginable level.
While thinking about ways to deal with the situation, Wang Wei asked, "Is there a way for Wang Ju to disarm it from the inside?"
"According to the last communication we received from her more than a month ago, she said that her strength was completely suppressed by the Luck Dragon of the kingdom and she was now in hiding," responded one of the new advisors that Wang Wei had conquered in the past 3 years.
While Wang Wei was contemplating his next step of action, Advisor Zhao Feng entered the room with urgent news.
Over the years, Wang Wei had brought this treacherous guy under his banner. He did not care that this guy was a snake that could bite even his owner. He knew how to properly control these kinds of people. Furthermore, as long as he suspects this guy to go out of line, he will kill him immediately.
Advisor Zhao Feng bowed to Wang Wei and said, "Wise Sage, one of the noble clans of the capital has sent someone to talk to you."
"Talk to me? Talk about what?"
"They want to make a deal. A deal that will allow you to easily break through the capital's formation."
After hearing this, Wang Wei frowned and looked up and down at Zhao Feng. He could guess that this deal had something to do with him, however, he did not care.
As long as Zhao Feng could help him deal with his current dilemma, everything else was fine. He would probably even reward him.
As such, he said, "Let him in."
