Fantasy: Unparalleled Prince, Conquering the Heavens!-Chapter 702 - 706: Request for Battle_1

Imperial Capital.

Within the towering Throne Hall.

On the sixth day after emerging from seclusion, Qin Wudao convened a court assembly, gathering civil and military officials. The joy on everyone's faces was irrepressible.

"Beloved ministers, please report on the situation," Qin Wudao, clad in imperial robes, said from his seat on the dragon throne, looking down at the officials in the hall with curiosity.

After each national advancement, a court assembly would be convened. This had become customary. The theme of such assemblies was not to discuss state affairs, but to report the changes within the nation, such as the number of powerhouses, the strength of the army, the overall cultivation level of the citizens, and any newly manifested Immortal Mountains.

"Your Majesty, I have compiled the statistics. Currently, Great Qin has three early-stage Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artists, sixty-five Profound Immortal Martial Artists, and thousands of True Immortal Martial Artists!"

"Among the hundreds of millions in our army, one million soldiers have broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm!"

"The overall strength of the citizenry has reached the Emperor's Realm..."

Gui Guzi walked to the center of the hall, presented a memorial, and spoke with a smile.

The three Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artists were, naturally, Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, and Lv Bu, who had comprehended the power of their godheads and broken through their bottlenecks.

Apart from Gui Guzi, Yuan Tiangang, Nie Zheng, Zhou Yu, Jiang Ziwen, Xuanzang, Gan Jiang, Mo Ye, Shen Wansan, and others, the sixty-five Profound Immortal Martial Artists primarily came from the 108 Heroes of Liang Mountain.

"Excellent!" Qin Wudao nodded, his expression calm, though he was somewhat surprised internally. He hadn't expected that advancing from a Saint's Court to a Heavenly Court would result in such a phoenix-like rebirth of Great Qin's national strength, completely overwhelming the three major powers of the Red Dragon Starfield. There are as many as three Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artists. Moreover, the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun have been successfully revived and have formed a destiny bond with Luo Yi, capable of unleashing the power of a late-stage Taiyi Earth Immortal at any moment.

"Your Majesty, there is someone outside the Imperial Palace requesting an audience. He claims to be from the Netherworld!"

At this moment, a guard rushed to the entrance of the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported with a face full of admiration.

He was a veteran of the Imperial Guard. He had been serving in the Imperial Guard when Qin Wudao ascended the throne.

But at that time, he was just a Martial Artist of the Beyond the Shore Realm. Now, in just a few short decades, he had broken through to the Human Immortal Realm, surpassing any 'mortal realm'.

And all of this was a blessing bestowed by Qin Wudao.

"Netherworld?"

Qin Wudao paused. Is this a messenger sent by Jiang Ziwen? Why hasn't he returned personally?

"Bring him in!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The guard saluted and quickly departed from the hall.

Two minutes later, Huang Youcai, shrouded in ghostly aura, walked into the great hall.

As he entered, the temperature within the Throne Hall plummeted sharply. This wasn't intentional on his part; rather, it was the Yin qi emanating unconsciously from his body.

Upon entering the hall, Huang Youcai glanced around and was greatly astonished.

There are actually three Taiyi Earth Immortal Martial Artists! In his memory, the entire Red Dragon Starfield had no more than three Taiyi Earth Immortals. And, the moment he stepped into the hall, he sensed a deadly crisis, as if any dangerous move would result in his immediate suppression and death.

Indeed, the Great Qin Heavenly Court is extraordinary!

Huang Youcai inwardly marveled, composed himself, clasped his hands in salute, and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Did Jiang Ziwen send you?" Qin Wudao looked at Huang Youcai and asked evenly. His attitude was as if he were facing an ordinary person, not an expert at the peak of the Taiyi Earth Immortal realm.

"Yes, the City Lord asked me to deliver a letter to Your Majesty!"

Hearing Qin Wudao address Jiang Ziwen directly by name, Huang Youcai's attitude became even more respectful. He bowed deeply, holding the letter high above his head.

"Hmm?"

A sharp glint flashed in Qin Wudao's eyes. With a gentle wave of his right hand, a suction force erupted, drawing the letter into his grasp.

Then, in front of all the civil and military officials, he read the letter, his expression subtly changing.

"Beloved Minister Jiang is truly considerate!" Qin Wudao praised after reading the letter.

At the same time, he understood why the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Demon Hall had not interfered during Great Qin's promotion to a Heavenly Court.

It turned out that Jiang Ziwen had risked great danger to seal the reincarnation passages of the two factions. Although the letter Jiang Ziwen presented didn't detail the situation he faced, Qin Wudao could imagine it must be perilous, with his life constantly at risk.

"Rest assured, Beloved Minister, I will handle the affairs of the Yang Realm!" Qin Wudao placed the letter on the imperial table, looked around at the assembled courtiers, and ordered in a cold voice, "My noble officials, it is time for the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Demon Hall to be annihilated!"

This command was like a thunderclap from the Nine Heavens, resounding through the hall.

BOOM!

Among the ranks of military officials.

The eyes of numerous generals lit up, their fighting intent soaring. Their martial auras surged to the heavens, and a terrifying killing intent erupted, causing the void to congeal and splinter with fissures.

The already frigid hall's temperature plummeted further, as if plunged into a ten-thousand-year ice cavern.

It had been a long time since they had stretched their limbs.

The Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Demon Hall were undoubtedly excellent targets, and it was also a chance to settle old scores.

Among the civil officials, the ministers exchanged glances, a cold glint in their eyes. Even if Qin Wudao hadn't issued the order, it wouldn't have been long before they would have advised an attack on the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court and the Extreme Demon Hall.

When it came to holding grudges, civil officials surpassed military officials.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I shall return to report on my mission!" Seeing that Great Qin was discussing matters of war, Huang Youcai tactfully requested to leave.

Qin Wudao nodded.

Huang Youcai saluted again and quickly exited the Throne Hall, his cautious demeanor giving no hint of his previous status as a City Lord.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun to destroy the Extreme Demon Hall!"

At this time, Luo Yi strode forward, volunteering first for battle. A torrent of tyrannical aura erupted from him, shaking the void and disrupting the very cosmos, sending a chill through the hearts of the officials.

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Yun, Lv Bu, and the other generals, who were about to volunteer, all cast surprised glances.

Lead eighteen riders and destroy the Extreme Demon Hall! Is he boasting? Or does he truly possess such capability?

"Granted!" Qin Wudao nodded and ordered.

The Extreme Demon Hall's strength was formidable, enough to make even the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court wary. But he was aware of Luo Yi's true strength. Superficially, he had only reached the late Profound Immortal realm, but in reality, he was comparable to a late-stage Taiyi Earth Immortal, perhaps even stronger.

"As you command!" Luo Yi smirked, his tiger-like eyes widening, revealing a ruthless gleam.

In his past life, he was renowned for his tyranny. The insignificant Extreme Demon Hall dared to offend Great Qin; he would make their blood flow for a thousand li, turning their domain into a desolate wasteland.

"Zhao Yun, Lv Bu, hear my command! From the soldiers who have broken through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, each of you select one hundred thousand to form an army and attack the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court!" Qin Wudao continued to order.

The Extreme Demon Hall is a sect, its main strength concentrated in the Extreme Demon Minor World. Moreover, with two of its three great legions already lost, only the War Demon Legion remains, incapable of waging large-scale warfare. Dispatching Luo Yi alone would suffice to suppress it. But the Molting Dragon Heavenly Court is a nation, vast in territory. Apart from the Left Guard Army and Right Guard Army, it also possessed vast local forces, central armies, and border garrisons... The vast territory and enormous military force dictate the nature of the war. Only a war of legions, advancing relentlessly, could prevail.

"As you command!" Zhao Yun and Lv Bu saluted, boundless killing intent erupting and surging violently.
