"So even deities can fall?"

"Why not? In the past, the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord’s Divine Tribulation killed several. Those Eternal Gods originated from the Innate Giant Gods of the unformed chaos or, like our Human Clan, descended from the Pangu bloodline, just without the curse. Their power is stronger, allowing them to become Eternal Gods."

"Speaking of which, news has come that once the Dominating Martial King Qin Muge fell, he had faced several gods."

Some people have even more detailed information.

"It’s said that this time, the Infinite Blade Lord set a trap and invited several Near-God Level forces to join him and his wife in a joint ambush!"

"Not only the Star Lord Zhuanlun! The Avatar of Seven Killings Star Lord has also fallen by Chu Xisheng’s hand."

"I didn’t expect that the Infinite Blade Lord not only has formidable martial prowess and exceptional talent but also has extensive connections. Even such figures could be enlisted."

"What I’m more curious about now is, what level has the combat power of the Infinite Blade Lord and Green-eyed Military Governor couple reached?"

"First on the Heavenly List and tenth, I feel it’s still not enough. The Tianji Pavilion is too conservative, not to mention the Debating Martial Arts Tower."

"That Jian Cangfeng is also terrifying from what I’ve heard, possessing Three True Spirits. He might be another Li Changsheng. No! He will be more fearsome than Li Changsheng."

"Heaven does not tolerate two suns! Ancient and unmatched! Heaven does not tolerate two suns! Heaven does not tolerate two suns! Tsk tsk—"

"Since early last year, the Sword Lord’s Iron Banner Gang has raised the flag of rebellion. With such an enemy, I’m afraid Daning is in grave danger!"

"This time the Northern Giant Spirit suffered heavy losses again; five First Grade princes were killed by Li Changsheng and the Su Feng Daoist alone, plus two Super-grade, and the life and death of two more remain uncertain."

Meanwhile, within the Inner Palace of Emperor Jianyuan, Yanying Hall was deathly silent.

Emperor Jianyuan held in his hand a token just delivered from the Debating Martial Arts Tower, his expression was unreadable, his gaze flickering with shock and anger, unpredictable.

The imperial eunuchs around him, including National Master Yu Kunlun, remained silent.

They were the closest people to Emperor Jianyuan, thus they also received a copy of the news from the Debating Martial Arts Tower.

And then suddenly, Emperor Jianyuan coughed.

He coughed uncontrollably, then blood poured from his mouth and nose, even causing parts of his skin to crack.

Yu Kunlun immediately understood that Emperor Jianyuan’s wounds were triggered by his turmoil of anger, shock, and agitation.

He furrowed his brows: "Please, Your Majesty, quell your thunderous rage! Otherwise, your internal injuries will take several more days to heal." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"How do I have the heart to care for these injuries now?"

Emperor Jianyuan forcibly suppressed the turbulence of his Qi-Blood; he looked deeply toward the outside of the hall: "I expected Chu Xisheng might die by the hands of the Eternal Gods, and I prepared for him to break through their blockade and deliver Wen Su Yi to the Endless Icefield. What I never expected was that he would seize this opportunity to slay gods in the Mortal World."

Yu Kunlun likewise did not expect that Chu Xisheng would be bold enough to use Wen Su Yi as bait to lure and kill deities!

This Infinite Blade Lord’s daring is truly unmatched.

Though they are enemies, Yu Kunlun could not help but feel admiration for this rising star of the Human Clan.

It’s a pity—

Yu Kunlun sighed quietly.

Unfortunately, this youth was born twenty years too late, and it’s Chu Xisheng who took Wen Su Yi’s virgin yin, disrupting Emperor Jianyuan’s last step to achieve Yin Yang Unity.

Two days ago, it should have been the day to reverse the fate of the Human and Dragon Clan.

Emperor Jianyuan’s voice interrupted Yu Kunlun’s thoughts: "The Police Pool of Blood has sent back news too; at the battle on Tianliang Mountain, Chu Xisheng unleashed thirteen strikes of the Divine Mirror Sky Blade, killing thirty-seven hundred thousand of my soldiers. In Hui State, although the Grandmaster handled it aptly, fifty thousand of a large force perished, causing the morale of two locations to collapse, unable to pursue the soldiers retreating to Ice City."

He also received news from Cang Province.

Originally, after the great upheaval in Ice City, Cang Province gave rise to thirty-four rebel armies.

Once Chu Yunyun single-handedly held back millions of soldiers in Bo Mountain County of Hui State, these thirty-four rebel armies turned into fourteen.

After Chu Xisheng consecutively slain the Giant Spirit Heavenly List, killing the Star Lord Zhuanlun, there were no more remaining rebel armies in Cang Province, all local influential families fell silent.

In their paths, instead of blocking the Ice City army, some even cooperated remarkably.

Five families went as far as to raise banners with "Chu" written on them, claiming they were acting on the orders of the Northern Territory Governor’s Mansion, uprising for justice against the court.

Especially in Extreme East Ice City, in places like Cang Province, Juzhou, Jizhou, and Qing Province, two hundred thousand young soldiers trained locally did not surrender as he anticipated but defected directly to the North.

All of this made Emperor Jianyuan deeply resentful and fearful.

At present, Extreme East Ice City has over nine million soldiers, two hundred thousand newly formed auxiliary troops; the Northern Five States possess five million border soldiers and one hundred fifty thousand county army; in the south, the Iron Banner Gang, in extreme circumstances, could assemble at least fifty thousand elite comparable to the border army in a short time, with another three million troops equivalent to the county army’s forces.

Once Chu Xisheng integrates them, his armies could reach twenty million, nearly equal to Daning.

Whenever Emperor Jianyuan thought of this, he felt restless, anxious.

He gazed steadily at National Master Yu Kunlun: "Chu Xisheng has safely set to head north, now with an army of millions, he is the greatest threat to our Daning. However, this child’s Divine Intent Touch Death Blade is terrifying, worrying me immensely. I ask the National Master, when our Daning forces engage this traitor in the future, how should we respond to his Divine Intent Touch Death Blade?"
