Chapter 308 Great Wu Mausoleum_1
"Ding! The host has chosen option one and has gained one thousand Destiny Points."
"National strength has advanced to six stars, earning sixty thousand Destiny Points, two fruits of Divine Abilities, an upgrade card for King-grade Divine Artifact, one random lottery opportunity, one scripture for Artifact Refining, and increased the progress of Sky Thunder Gate fabrication by 10% to a current progress of 70%."
"Your current Destiny Point balance is 160,550."
After raising his national strength to six stars, Chu Yuan's Destiny Points surged to as much as one hundred and sixty thousand.
With national strength reaching six stars, more items can be refreshed in the system's store to enhance the strength of the empire.
"Return to Dawu!"
Dawu's fleet departed, taking King Xu with them, leaving behind the ruins of Xuwang City.
The prosperity that lasted tens of thousands of years vanished like smoke in thin air, a city in the Central Mysterious Domain fell into downfall.
The news of the downfall of Xuwang City spread across the Five Mysterious Domains like a hurricane, the name Dawu, not only shocked the Four Mysterious Domains, but also caused a stir among the powers of the Central Mysterious Domain.
A cross-domain conquest that obliterated a city was shocking enough to be described as terrifying.
If the Central Mysterious Domain was merely shocked, then the Eastern Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Mysterious Star Clan were trembling with fear, feeling a dark cloud closing in upon them.
In the Eastern Mysterious Domain.
On the border of a clan and a kingdom.
Two entities appeared in a pavilion.
"Mysterious Star, the last time you and I met so peacefully was a thousand years ago. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed and the Eastern Mysterious Domain has gone through earth-shattering changes," said an entity dressed in a golden imperial robe, tall and burly, who was the ruler of the Eastern Mysterious Imperial Dynasty, looking solemnly at a middle-aged man in starry clothes.
The Eastern Mysterious Emperor embodied the laws of True God, and his cultivation had reached the half-step of True God.
A half-step True God refers to the power far exceeding the tenth level of the Virtual God, but not yet reaching the True God, existing between the two. It does not denote a realm, but even the weakest half-step True God could easily defeat two to three tenth level Virtual Gods.
The Mysterious Star Sect Master was also a half-step True God.
The strength of the two was evenly matched.
Without the presence of a half-step True God, the Eastern Mysterious Imperial Dynasty and the Mysterious Star Clan would not be able to claim the title of the two most formidable forces in the Eastern Mysterious Domain.
Both these people were strongest and top-notch among the half-step True Gods, capable of single-handedly killing beings of the same realm.
The two were mortal enemies, fighting for over a thousand years, but because of the Dawu, they had to sit peacefully together.
To wage a cross-domain war, and decisively annihilate a city, was something even they found difficult to do.
Originally, they thought that Dawu was strong enough, but largely due to the advantage of their equipment. But now they realized that the true strength of Dawu lay in their Martial Emperor, their own emperor, who was capable of annihilating the tenth level Virtual God.
What made the two wary was that they could not discern the limits of the Martial Emperor of Dawu's strength in the battle of Xuwang City.
Not knowing the depth of the opponent is agonizing and makes it difficult to formulate a corresponding strategy.
"Hehe, even if the Martial Emperor claims himself to be the strongest in the Eastern Mysterious Domain, I reckon some people would believe him. After all, he has made a frightening achievement, something you and I couldn't accomplish."
The Mysterious Star Sect Master appeared much calmer than the Eastern Mysterious Emperor.
Because he was the head of a clan, not an imperial dynasty, he didn't need to compete with Dawu for the title of the strongest imperial dynasty in the Eastern Mysterious Domain.
"The Emperor was too complacent. If Dawu had been destroyed when it first emerged, perhaps this imminent threat wouldn't have arisen," said the Eastern Mysterious Emperor with a solemn expression.
"You think you could have destroyed Dawu? Don't you remember how many years Dawu has been here – barely over two?" scoffed the Mysterious Star Sect Master.
"Don't boost the morale of others at the expense of our pride. I came here to discuss a strategy."
The Eastern Mysterious Emperor laughed: "I was the one who wronged you back then. I apologize here."
"You want to drag my Mysterious Star Clan into the water to test the Dawu Imperial Dynasty, but I'm not so foolish. The fate of Xuwang City is still fresh in our minds. I don't want to provoke a formidable enemy for no reason. Who cares who's the strongest in the imperial dynasty?"
The Mysterious Star Sect Master looked quite indifferent.
"What if that Dawu wants to annihilate your clan, compelling you to submit?"
The Eastern Mysterious Emperor questioned.
"If we can fight, we will fight. If we can't fight, we will surrender. Why bother thinking so much?"
Compared to the worried East Xuan Emperor, the Xuan Star Sect Master seemed rather indifferent, and lightly said, "The tallest tree in the forest will be blown down by the wind first, the Xuanzun Dynasty should be the one to worry, shouldn't it?"
"Exactly!"
The attitude of the Xuan Star Sect Master initially displeased the East Xuan Emperor, but upon hearing these words, he burst into laughter, "Right, why am I worried? The Martial Emperor has an unpredictable strength, more dreadful than a true god. If he truly seeks to conquer the world, the Xuanzun Dynasty will not stand idly by!"
True gods are indeed formidable.
However, facing an opponent as enigmatic as Chu Yuan is the most difficult to deal with.
....
Meanwhile.
Unlike the rush at the beginning, Chu Yuan was not in such a hurry this time on his return.
Read new chapters at empire
He let the news spread and ferment in the Five Mysterious Domains for a while.
'Artifact Refining Real Solution': A magnificent work compiled with the efforts of countless refining masters. Inside, there are various methods of refining artifacts and experiences of countless divine level refining masters, making it a treasure of the refining path.
"It's actually a treasure needed by refinemen."
Chu Yuan held a thick, ancient-looking book in his hand.
He casually turned a few pages, which contained many mysterious designs and numerous exquisite diagrams.
The diagrams were lifelike, but Chu Yuan found them inscrutable. He didn't understand them.
And he didn't need to understand them.
He doesn't need to learn refining, this task should be done by his subordinates.
Upon returning, he instructed them to duplicate a bunch of them, and distributed them to Ouyang Ming first, allowing him to study them.
The Sky Thunder Cannon should also be made as swiftly as possible. He was becoming more and more interested in the refining city.
Outside Wu City.
At this moment, the place was filled with people.
Not only were there a large number of soldiers and officials, but many civilians also gathered voluntarily and knelt on both sides of the city gate to welcome the return of the emperor.
The news of Chu Yuan destroying Xuwang City had reached back, which caused considerable commotion among the people. Seeing their emperor so powerful made everyone feel excited. No one dared to bully the Citizens of Great Wu when they were walking in public.
When one man attains Dao, his poultry and dogs ascend to Heaven
The same holds true for an empire.
They carry the label of Great Wu.
And now, with the strength of Great Wu elevated to level six, all the citizens felt more confident.
This is the power of a nation!
"When will the emperor return?"
"The Minister of Rites said it will be today."
"This battle was indeed pleasureful; the emperor is invincible, annihilating Xuwang City despite the spatial distance. Every power that heard about Great Wu is petrified."
"Thank God for giving us such an unmatched emperor!"
...
Public discussion.
"Long live the Emperor!"
As the Sky Warship flew in from a distance, everyone was cheering "Long live the Emperor!" Their eyes were filled with fervor, and their hearts were overtaken by fanatical emotions.
Upon his return this time, Chu Yuan did not return to the palace at first. Instead, he went to the Great Wu Mausoleum in the East Xuan Domain.
Wars bring casualties. Regardless of whether bodies could be retrieved, fallen Great Wu soldiers would be buried in the Great Wu Mausoleum, so that the world would remember that they died for Great Wu.
"From now on, these two people will kneel at the gate of the Great Wu Mausoleum forever, until they kneel to death."
Having returned to Wu City, Chu Yuan set free King Xu and the Purple Extreme Sect Master, each kneeling down on either side of the Mausoleum.
The river of humanity swept over them. The two seem to have turned into statues, forever existing in the posture of kneeling.
