Zhong Han was killed?
This scene also left Chai Ning wide-eyed and gasping in shock, his heart pounding with fear, unable to calm himself for quite some time.
Bear in mind, this was a being on the same level as him, a formidable figure capable of wiping out two-star forces. Although he wasn't as powerful as Chai Ning, his death at Chu Yuan's hand was absolutely horrifying to hear about.
Originally, he thought that Dawu was a two-star Imperial Dynasty with great potential. His personal involvement was an attempt to break the continuous suppression imposed by the Infinity Association in the suspended domain. However, after this battle, Dawu's strength was probably on par with some three-star Imperial Dynasties.
"The general is dead!"
"We could never stand against Dawu!"
"How is this possible that the general died in battle!"
.....
Seeing Zhong Han killed, the Black Ming army below was completely stunned, thrown into chaos.
Initially, under the attack of the Dawu army corps, they were already on the brink of collapse. However, Zhong Han's death undoubtedly dealt them a fatal blow. One by one, they were completely defeated, and they had lost their previous swagger and arrogance.
Even the last half-step Photonic God was frightened, promptly yelling orders to retreat from the Melting Flame Desert.
A large portion of the Black Ming Imperial Army retreated disorderly from the Melting Flame Desert at this time.
"Grand Devouring Technique, Devour!"
Seeing those people trying to escape, Chu Yuan's eyes scanned over them again. A Devouring Vortex appeared around him. Wherever it went, countless people were devoured into it, absorbed into the bloody fruit, increasing its size.
At this moment, this bloody fruit, accompanied by Chu Yuan's absorption, had sucked in countless blood and soul essence, it had grown immense, with an eerie, blood-red light shining down.
"Not enough, it's still not enough!"
Wherever he went, that place was left desolate.
"You are not human!"
Watching Chu Yuan use the Grand Devouring Technique, the half-step Photonic God's general felt his scalp burst, only feeling that around Chu Yuan was a realm of a Demon God. Anyone who entered would die without a burial place, not even a bone would be left.
"Die!"
Chu Yuan's Devouring Vortex engulfed the half-step Photonic God.
This person didn't even manage to release a scream before he melted into the bloody fruit, suddenly swelling yet again.
Not only that, but Chu Yuan specifically targeted those from the Black Ming army who had the potential to reach the divine realm. When their blood and soul essence were swallowed into the fruit, it visibly grew at an astonishing rate!
The Grand Devouring Technique could swallow anything and everything, converting it into the energy that Chu Yuan needed.
If the news reaches the Imperial Dynasty, I wonder how the Emperor's face would look.
Chu Yuan wasn't sure about his reaction, but the news of the grand victory on the Dawu side sent the nation into an uproar. Despite the victory seeming unrelated to them, the stronger the dynasty, the more unseen benefits they received.
"Is it over?" Chai Ning had yet to recover from the shock.
"President Chai, with the Imperial Dynasty's elite forces destroyed, our business will likely flourish even more in the future."
Chu Yuan knew that this war had completely petrified Chai Ning. In his mind, Dawu could no longer be categorized as a two-star dynasty. It would soon rise to become a three-star dynasty.
"Congratulations on your great victory, Your Majesty."
President Chai's facial muscles twitched.
His previous preparations to treat Dawu as a potential three-star division were correct.
But now he thought it wasn't enough and was even considering suggesting a five-star division for Dawu at the Suspended Realm.
"Infinite Commerce, your short-sighted move to pull out of Dawu has given my Qiankun Commerce a chance. I wonder if you will regret it."
Chai Ning felt lucky. The Infinite Commerce's withdrawal had given him the chance to move in.
"Your Majesty, the cleanup of the battlefield is complete, all prisoners have been disarmed, how should we deal with them?"
General Lu reported at this time.
"The obedient ones can stay, thrown into the death camp. Feed them, kill the disobedient ones who dare to resist, I have no interest in persuading them to surrender."
Chu Yuan replied indifferently.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
General Lu nodded.
"Furthermore, with this grand victory, assign Fu Ling to manage the acquired assets. I will set a standard for her. Duke Zhongyun, record the contributions. Reward the soldiers generously, reward merit and punish faults. I won't ill-treat any soldier who has made remarkable contributions."
Chu Yuan continued, "Tell the Ministry of Households that I will hold a victory feast. I will reward every meritorious soldier. Mr. Chai, would you be interested in attending the feast I will hold to celebrate this victory? Could we count on your presence?"
"I've been meaning to attend ever since Your Majesty personally extended the invitation."
This was a good chance to get closer to Chu Yuan, and Chai Ning wasn't going to miss it.
"In that case, all the better," Chu Yuan replied. "Without the aggression from the Imperial Dynasty, I would have had a hard time breaking through to Intrusive Divine in such a short time."
"He's still only Intrusive Divine!"
Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Chai Ning felt completely shattered inside.
