"Sect Master, there's no need to worry, I've already made arrangements for the aftermath! Should I fall, Wen Shu can be appointed as a Righteous Minister; he can both govern and command troops. The Sect Master can ascend the throne personally!" Chu Feng knew Fang Xuanling's capabilities were exceedingly strong. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

With such talent and foresight, being the ruler of an empire is definitely no problem.

Currently, although the Great Chu Empire has been established for less than a month, countless fates are already intertwined with it.

The initial army of seven hundred thousand that followed Chu Feng, now only about half remains.

Then there's the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, Dragon Slayer Sect, and all the masters, along with three hundred thousand Dragon Guard, numerous surrendered troops, and others.

If the Great Chu Empire falls, they fall with it.

Thus, no one wishes for Chu Feng to fight alone.

"Haha, good! What a thrill!"

"Eternal Life Pill Master, since your rebirth, your courage has grown much greater than in your previous life!"

Panlong Heavenly Emperor laughed heartily upon seeing Chu Feng agree.

"Enough of the nonsense, let actions speak the truth!" Chu Feng dreamed of killing Panlong Heavenly Emperor and exacting revenge.

Now, the chance had finally come.

He was slightly impatient.

Chu Feng controlled his sword to charge at Panlong Heavenly Emperor, and his Demon Body also emerged from the ground, closely following.

Oddly enough, Panlong Heavenly Emperor had personally witnessed Chu Feng's Demon Body's terrors, yet he showed no fear seeing Chu Feng approaching with it.

It's as if Chu Feng's Demon Body posed no threat to him.

Bear in mind, Panlong Heavenly Emperor's cultivation was only at the level of Second Tribulation Supreme Sword God, two realms below the Demon Body.

Previously, when the Dragon Guard had just surrendered, Panlong Heavenly Emperor deliberately provoked Chu Feng, wanting to lure Chu Feng out of the city.

Now, acting so composed and carefree, Chu Feng couldn't help but be cautious.

When Chu Feng was only about a hundred meters from Panlong Heavenly Emperor, he suddenly shouted coldly at his troops behind him, "Deploy the Long Snake Formation, stop at nothing to block the Great Chu Empire's troops and masters!"

The Long Snake Formation is one of the simplest formations.

It leverages the advantage of numbers, turning numerous soldiers into a long snake that can slither forward or coil up like a snake.

The reason this formation has spread so widely and continued to be used is because of its advantages in advancing and retreating.

When the snake advances, it can penetrate the enemy forces like a sharp blade plunging in.

When coiled, it turns the entire battlefield into a maze.

Dividing the enemy into countless small fragments, making them rush aimlessly, unable to unite. Eventually, they can only be picked off one by one.

Panlong Heavenly Emperor ordered his troops to form the array, but Chu Feng's forces were not idle either.

Beixie National Master likewise directed a fifty-thousand elite force to form their own array.

However, having had little training, their array formation was slow and prone to errors.

By the time Beixie National Master successfully directed his fifty thousand elites, the enemy had already formed the Long Snake Formation and encircled Panlong Heavenly Emperor and Chu Feng.

…

As Chu Feng controlled his sword to strike in front of Panlong Heavenly Emperor, coming within about ten meters, Panlong Heavenly Emperor suddenly gave Chu Feng a sinister smile. Suddenly, Panlong Heavenly Emperor unveiled a Sword Formation Diagram.

Before Chu Feng could react, a fierce wind swept over, trapping him inside.

"Chu Feng, surprised aren't you? You have a Sword Array, and so does this emperor."

"This array is a top-tier Killing Array called the Twelve Heavenly Demon Evil Sword Formation, simplified from the Twelve Heavenly Demon Gods Array. Setting up this array requires twelve Blood Demon Swords and one Top-Grade magical treasure or higher to stabilize it."

Panlong Heavenly Emperor's triumphant voice echoed from all directions.

Now that he had set up this array, he must have gathered twelve Demon Swords and a Top-Grade magical treasure.

Faintly, the Azure Dragon's angry roar could be heard within the array; if guessed correctly, the Top-Grade magical treasure used for stabilization should be the Azure Dragon Cauldron, the national guardian divine artifact of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Originally, the Azure Dragon Pearl and Azure Dragon Cauldron were the two divine artifacts of the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

The Azure Dragon Pearl had already been successfully embedded into Chu Feng's body, transforming into an eye on Chu Feng's back.

The specific use of this pearl, Chu Feng was still exploring.

He wasn't very clear.

Chu Feng was already well aware of the Azure Dragon Cauldron's power. It was an item even stronger than a Top-Grade magical treasure, a Fake Innate Treasure.

After successfully deploying the Twelve Heavenly Demon Evil Sword Formation, Chu Feng felt surrounded by blood mist, as if immersed in a sea of blood.

"Do you know how the twelve Blood Demon Swords were obtained? Let me tell you, for each sword to be successfully forged, requires feeding with a billion souls' essence blood. Twelve swords mean a total of twelve billion souls' essence blood to nurture them."

"The dreadful power of this array you'll soon experience. This emperor will drive you to despair."

Panlong Heavenly Emperor trapped Chu Feng inside the Twelve Heavenly Demon Evil Sword Formation, confident of victory.

In his triumph, he couldn't resist boasting to Chu Feng about the origins of the twelve Blood Demon Swords.

This was also intentionally creating psychological pressure on Chu Feng, making him tense.

"You beast! To forge twelve Blood Demon Swords, you killed twelve billion people. Heaven hasn't struck you with thunder, it's truly blind."

"If Heaven spares you, I won't!"

Chu Feng not only wasn't afraid but was furious to the extreme.

Though not a saint, Chu Feng had countless enemies killed by his hand. But one thing Chu Feng never did was indiscriminate slaughter of innocents.

Panlong Heavenly Emperor was more vicious than any demon, disregarding human life.

Killing twelve billion people just to forge swords, how could he bear to do it?

"Haha...You collect me? This emperor can kill you once, and I can kill you again. Eternal Life Pill Master, you are destined never to rise again, unable to exact revenge. Once I kill you this time, I won't give you a chance to reincarnate, I'll destroy your soul."

Panlong Heavenly Emperor seemed to have heard the biggest joke.

Within the array, he was the sovereign.

Chu Feng was like meat on the chopping block, unable to escape his slaughter.

"Boom! Boom!..."

Chu Feng felt a sound from behind, the entire world trembling.

A horrifyingly fierce aura emanated from behind, overwhelming, as if he was a lone boat in a stormy sea.

That was only the first, similar terrifying rumbles echoed from all sides.

Even as skilled and bold as Chu Feng was, faced with such a daunting presence, he couldn't help but fear.

The most terrifying threat is the unknown.

The Demon Body stood protectively before Chu Feng, while Chu Feng himself tightly grasped an Eighth Grade Defense Talisman. At the slightest sign of danger, he would immediately activate the talisman for protection.

Because of the tight timeline, he hadn't crafted a Ninth Grade Defense Talisman.

In terms of passivity, Defense Talismans are more passive. Offensive talismans are more potent.
