The day after the death of King Xian, everything in the ancient city remained the same.
Everyone was busy with their own matters.
Lin Jiufeng also continued his cultivation in silence.
Although he couldn’t sign in every day anymore, Lin Jiufeng still needed to prepare to deal with the most powerful enemy he was about to fight so far.
The False Immortal of the Mountain Sea Realm.
Lin Jiufeng believed that after defeating this False Immortal, the reward from signing in would definitely be very generous.
That was why he had to maintain his peak state and wait for the big battle.
Life in the oasis was peaceful, but the outside world was in turmoil.
Yesterday, Lin Jiufeng killed King Xian.
Everything should’ve ended right there and then.
However, King Xian’s subordinates that had awakened in advance arranged for his arrival by waking up the slumbering parasite worms of the Ancient Dian Dynasty.
The reason why the Ancient Dian Dynasty was so powerful was because of these parasite worms.
Countless parasite worms of various colors and sizes were being controlled by King Xian.
Under King Xian’s control, these parasite worms didn’t cause trouble and obediently listened to King Xian’s subordinates.
But after King Xian’s death yesterday, his soul fire was extinguished.
The parasite worms instantly sensed his death and they immediately went berserk.
The parasite worms were controlled by their owner, King Xian.
Upon King Xian’s death, the already ferocious parasite worms lost control and immediately went berserk, directly biting all of King Xian’s subordinates to death.
Then they brought disaster to the mortal realm!
In just one day, the Ancient Dian Dynasty’s parasite worms collectively appeared.
They had been in hiding for thousands of years, and the parasite worms were all bored out of their minds. Now that they were no longer restricted by King Xian, the parasite worms began to kill rampantly. Millions and millions of parasite worms crawled out from the various tombs outside the territory of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
They were densely packed, causing one’s scalp to turn numb just from seeing them alone.
The parasite worms followed the fluctuations that were created in the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and began to move forward.
Because of Emperor De’s rich destiny energy and the prosperity of the Yuhua God Dynasty, although the parasite worms escaped the control of King Xian, they still remembered that King Xian wanted to find an emperor with prosperous destiny energy to possess.
Hence, they targeted the imperial capital where Emperor De was located.
The appearance of the parasite worms instantly shocked the world.
Countless people came to know about it as the news spread like wildfire. Looking at the densely packed parasite worms that resembled an army of billions, everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.
The catastrophe of the parasite worms!
This disaster spread throughout the world.
Emperor De, who was presiding over the imperial capital, immediately ordered Princess Yulin to bring hundreds of thousands of imperial guards and a few powerhouses to rush to the borders.
They must eliminate these parasite worms and prevent them from entering the borders of the Yuhua God Dynasty. They must not let them harm the common people.
Hundreds of thousands of troops rushed to the borders, finally stopping the advance of the parasite worms.
But the troops only managed to stop the advance—that’s all.
There were many strange existences amongst the parasite worms. Even though Princess Yulin brought a group of powerhouses with her, they were still caught off guard.
For example, the son of the Millennium Sword God of the old era was ambushed by a child-mother parasite worm.
He became unconscious for ten days before waking up.
The severity of his injury alone troubled Princess Yulin.
More importantly, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow in the Plains also started to interfere. They wanted to use the catastrophe of the parasite worms to threaten the Yuhua God Dynasty and occupy some of its territories.
The people from the foreign tribes and the islands overseas also visited the Yuhua God Dynasty. They participated in this matter and all of them took advantage of the parasite worms to start their evil schemes.
They not only acted on their own, but they also contacted the ambitious cultivators throughout the cultivation world. The group of powerhouses tacitly started to cause trouble for the Yuhua God Dynasty.
Princess Yulin found it hard to know what to prioritize in this situation.
In the end, she chose to guard the borders before sending people to Emperor De to request reinforcement.
Emperor De then sent the King of Rogue Cultivators and the war machine to reinforce them.
With Emperor De’s orders, only a few hidden powerhouses remained in the imperial capital.
Of course, this included Monk Fusan.
In just two months, many battles occurred at the borders of the Plains. The various factions used the catastrophe of the parasite worms to constantly probe the strength of the Yuhua God Dynasty.
The Yuhua God Dynasty started to feel the pressure as they sent the young people from the Martial Temples to the borders for their so-called ‘practical experience’ training.
A huge battle occurred that lasted for a long time.
During this period of time, the entire world’s attention was focused on the borders.
As more and more people from the previous era woke up, the Yuhua God Dynasty started to have too many enemies.
Princess Yulin presided over the borders and she found it incredibly hard to endure pressure.
There were too many enemies, and no one knew where they would come from.
At the border!
The majestic city walls stood tall under the setting sun.
When the sun shone down, the place seemed desolate.
The city walls were covered in dark blood.
Although the blood had long dried up, it was still easy to notice that the blood consisted of both the blood of humans and the parasite worms.
After a day of rest, Princess Yulin stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.
Her heart was heavy.
Her beautiful face looked grim. It contrasted her fiery and dazzling figure.
As a female general, the soldiers weren’t convinced of her ability to lead at first. Although she was a princess and had a noble status, did she really understand the art of war and what war was truly like?
But in the past two months, Princess Yulin had consistently led the troops and always charged into the battles first.
With her sword techniques, she killed countless enemies with her sword. On the battlefield, her fiery red clothes would strangely become increasingly bright. It was unknown whether if it was from the blood of the enemies or Princess Yulin’s baleful aura itself.
Thus, she managed to convince everyone in the world with her actions.
“Princess, it’s been two months…”
“Although we’ve killed many of these parasite worms, our enemies are only increasing. The Boundless Realm cultivators are no longer of any use to us anymore. The King Realm cultivators have taken the stage now.”
The King of Rogue Cultivators appeared behind Princess Yulin and sighed.
For some reason, the spiritual energy recovery rate of the world increased in the past three years. The Boundless Realm was no longer at the peak of this world.
The peak combat power today was the King Realm.
The Yuhua God Dynasty also has King Realm cultivators under its banner, but the dynasty only had a handful of such cultivators.
The war machine was one of them.
The King of Rogue Cultivators was one of them.
Monk Fusan was one of them.
There were also a few others hidden in the dark to protect the imperial capital.
On the surface, even Princess Yulin and the son of the Sword God were only at the peak of the Boundless Realm.
Up to this point in the battle, they were relying on the King of Rogue Cultivators and the war machine to hold on.
“I know…”
“I’m also about to make a breakthrough. I’ve worked hard these two months, it’s about time for me to progress. The son of the sword god is also about to make his breakthrough.” Princess Yulin nodded.
“But the number of powerhouses on the other side will only continue to increase as time passes.” The King of Rogue Cultivators remained bitter.
He looked into the distance.
He sensed more than ten auras belonging to those of the King Realm.
“They’re together. They seem determined to break through this pass,” the King of Rogue Cultivators said solemnly.
Princess Yulin’s expression turned ugly. “Are you sure?”
“I’m sure…”
“There’s naturally no need to talk about that Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. The Wo Nation from overseas has also mobilized a few of their King Realm combatants. There are also people from the demonic sects, Daoist Sects, and the descendants of aristocratic families.”
“They’ve gathered together to make a move.”
“You must come up with an idea soon…”
“Although the war machine is very good at fighting, it’s simply not enough!”
The King of Rogue Cultivators grimly stated.
Princess Yulin replied decisively, “I will immediately get Emperor De to send more powerhouses here. This Jade Gate Pass cannot be lost. If it is lost, the land thousands of miles behind this pass will also be lost.”
The King of rogue Cultivators watched as Princess Yulin communicated with Emperor De. He observed the auras in the distance that didn’t conceal themselves at all.
His heart turned heavy.
Could the Yuhua God Dynasty resist the attacks of so many forces together?
…
Emperor De, who was far away in the imperial capital, received Princess Yulin’s message.
His expression turned cold as he decisively replied, “I will get five King Realm cultivators to support you there.”
Princess Yulin communicated with Emperor De’s through their souls.
She asked, “Then what about the safety of the imperial capital?”
Emperor De said coldly, “It doesn’t matter…”
“I have the Golden Dragon of Destiny in my hand. Those that are strong enough won’t be my match.”
“But if we do this, wouldn’t that mean that we’re throwing every caution to the wind?”
Princess Yulin took a deep breath and exhaled.
She felt immense pressure on her shoulders.
“Do your best to protect the Yuhua God Dynasty and the people behind you. This is our responsibility!” Emperor De said firmly.
“All right, we will fight to the death!” Princess Yulin decisively stated.
