Chapter 610: The Battle of the Jin Dynasty

Chapter 610: Chapter 610: The Battle of the Jin Dynasty

With the series of thunderous roars, almost all the powerful cultivators felt the overwhelming might of the Raven God Dao Lord!

Even from a great distance, the intense malevolent pressure could be felt.

This was the true power of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, vast and boundless, overwhelmingly suppressive!

As Zhong Shan waved his hand, the Dark Emperor withdrew the Star Pearl and flew over. Zhong Tian also ceased his battle with the Snow God Extinction Array and returned to Zhong Shan's side.

With a swift motion, the enormous Lingqi Pagoda rapidly shrank, and inside the pagoda, the three thousand ascetics dressed in coarse hemp robes stood behind Zhong Tian. The Lingqi Pagoda then shrank further and flew into Zhong Tian's body!

The Snow God Extinction Array naturally lost its effect, leaving the once grand plaza in ruins, and the high platform where the Chaotian Hall stood was completely destroyed.

Two of the Heavenly Extreme Realm experts from the Water Branch of the Longevity Realm were dead. Reuniting, everyone had a look of defeat on their faces.

The moment the Raven God Dao Lord drew the Absolute Immortal Sword, a black line appeared along the sword's path. However, the black line came quickly and disappeared just as fast, vanishing in an instant.

A black line? The Sovereign Realm experts of the Longevity Realm swallowed hard.

That wasn't just a black line but the terrifying effect of the Absolute Immortal Sword. With just a single slash, it tore through space, creating a thin rift.

The Absolute Immortal Sword was truly monstrous!

The Raven God Dao Lord, still carrying his large gourd, stepped forward and disappeared from the sight of the Sovereign Realm experts, reappearing in the sacrificial plaza before Wu Huan and the others.

In the distance, countless onlookers held their breath.

The master of the Longevity Realm, the Raven God Dao Lord?

The citizens of Frozen City had never seen so many powerful figures in their lifetime. These were all legendary characters!

One after another, they appeared like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. It was exhilarating!

"Nu Qinghui, what is going on?" the Raven God Dao Lord immediately asked, looking at Nu Qinghui.

Nu Qinghui hesitated slightly. This operation to kill Zhong Shan was primarily led by the Water Branch, with herself and two other Heavenly Extreme Realm experts merely supporting. Why was the master questioning her first? Suddenly, Zhong Shan's words echoed in her mind.

"The Longevity Realm? Hmph, if the Longevity Realm truly cared about you, the only one sent to assassinate me would be the Raven God Dao Lord. You are merely a scapegoat. If you fail to kill me, it's your failure. If you succeed, you become the murderer, not the Longevity Realm. Do you think the Longevity Realm cares about you? Stop dreaming, you're just a big-chested, brainless pawn."

Nu Qinghui's heart tightened, but she quickly replied, "I was defeated by Zhong Shan!"

"Whoosh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

An uproar erupted around them. Defeated by Zhong Shan? How was that possible? Nu Qinghui was a Heavenly Extreme Realm expert, yet she claimed to be defeated by Zhong Shan?

Earlier, people thought Nu Qinghui had let Zhong Shan go on purpose. No one imagined Zhong Shan could actually defeat her.

Impossible. It couldn't be true. Whether it was Bing Xuan, Wu Huan, or the numerous people of the Longevity Realm, they all looked at Zhong Shan in disbelief. Was Zhong Shan truly that powerful?

A flash of malice appeared in the Raven God Dao Lord's eyes as he glanced at Zhong Shan, then at the powerful figures beside him.

Bing Xuan's heart tightened with a bit of fear, but seeing the Raven God Dao Lord nearby, his courage grew.

"Zhong Shan?" Bing Xuan responded sternly.

"From today onward, the Great Yin Dynasty officially declares war on the Ice-Sealed Empire! We will wash away today's shame with blood!" Zhong Shan declared.

The Great Yin Dynasty declared war on the Ice-Sealed Empire? The countless onlookers were shocked. Wash away today's shame with blood?

No one doubted the strength of the Great Yin Dynasty. When it first entered the Shenzhou land, it had wiped out a hundred dynasties, eight great dynasties, and even a former empire. Today, it declared war on the Ice-Sealed Empire?

Everyone knew that the so-called Qingzhou of the Great Yin Dynasty was just north of the Ice-Sealed Empire, with no barriers in between. With a single sentence, Zhong Shan had irrevocably set the course for war.

War would surely result in rivers of blood. The Ice-Sealed Emperor had enraged the Great Yin Dynasty.

Hearing Zhong Shan's declaration, Bing Xuan was startled. Zhong Shan's powerful words directed at him instinctively made him step back.

Stepping back? Everyone looked at Bing Xuan in disbelief, causing his face to flush with embarrassment and anger.

Realizing his loss of composure, Bing Xuan stepped forward angrily and said, "Hmph, Great Yin Dynasty, you should check if your dynasty still stands. Though we failed to ambush you today, the three great empires surrounding Qingzhou will surely march against it as planned. After today, the Ice-Sealed Empire will also dispatch troops to Qingzhou. Surrounded on all sides, how do you plan to declare war on me? You'd better worry about the other three empires that are targeting you!" Bing Xuan's voice was icy.

"Heh, there's no need for you to worry about me. I am only declaring war on the Ice-Sealed Empire. Within ten years, this land will belong to the Great Yin Dynasty!" Zhong Shan snorted coldly, ignoring Bing Xuan.

"Let's go!" Zhong Shan turned and addressed his followers.

"Yes!" They nodded in agreement.

Boldly, they walked past the powerful cultivators of the Longevity Realm.

Bing Xuan clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do. The Raven God Dao Lord watched coldly as the group departed, while Wu Huan and the Water Branch members looked on with hatred. Only Nu Qinghui remained expressionless, her thoughts unreadable.

The crowd of onlookers was filled with admiration. Despite so many powerful figures, not one could stop Zhong Shan. His strength was truly formidable.

Zhong Shan led his powerful followers back to Qingzhou!

Just as Bing Xuan had said, aside from the southern Ice-Sealed Empire, the three great empires to the east, west, and north had already begun their campaigns against Qingzhou.

However, long before, Yi Yan, Shui Jing, and Shui Wuhen had detected the movements from all sides and had made thorough preparations, awaiting Zhong Shan's command to launch their counterattacks.

At the headquarters in Qingzhou, Guangling City:

Zhong Shan issued the "Battle of the Jin Dynasty" decree to his legion commanders, instructing them to launch offensives against the surrounding empires, seizing their fortunes to bolster the Great Yin Dynasty. This strategic move aimed to enhance their power and prepare for their advancement to an imperial dynasty.

Given the simultaneous siege by the four great empires, Zhong Shan's "Declaration of War" was imbued with a righteous and dignified spirit, infusing the Qingzhou armies with immense courage as they prepared for battle.

Yi Yan, Shui Wuhen, and Shui Jing took command of the forces, while the former Sovereign Realm guards were replaced by the mighty wolf kings of the Wolf Clan, now Emperor Realm experts, ensuring the safety of the three legion commanders.

With the orders dispatched, Zhong Shan returned to the palace with Bei Qingsi. Their century-long bond had deepened into a profound and enduring love, making their time together all the more intimate.

In the palace, Zhong Shan gently removed Bei Qingsi's garments, revealing her snow-white skin, which felt as delicate as cotton under his touch. As Bei Qingsi's emotions stirred, her skin flushed slightly, resembling a fully bloomed snow lotus, ready to be plucked by Zhong Shan.
