Boom!
The nine golden dragons slammed into the purple energy barrier with terrifying force, causing Yao Ming’s expression to fall. In the next second, the purple energy barrier shattered, and Yao Ming was sent flying by the nine golden dragons, causing him to cough up a large mouthful of blood.
Zhao Fu’s aura was now quite weak, and there were many injuries all over his body. On the other hand, Yao Ming had only suffered some minor injuries, and with Zhao Fu’s current power, he could not defeat Yao Ming.
The main reason was because he had not recovered from his injuries and his body was still quite weak. Moreover, he was afflicted by Emperor Killer; otherwise, with Zhao Fu’s true strength, he would not be in such a sorry state.
As the commander of this battle, Bai Qi swept his gaze across the battlefield and sighed before giving the order to retreat and give up this Continent in the Grassi Continent.
Following this, Great Qin made a full retreat; Great Qin’s residents in this Continent had long since been evacuated back to the human world.
Yao Ming’s expression was cold as he wiped away the blood at his lips and looked at the escaping Zhao Fu. He had wanted to keep Zhao Fu here, but he had not been able to and had been hit by an attack by Zhao Fu.
In the end, he decided to let off Zhao Fu for now, and he continued on with his plan as he brought his devil beast army towards the Elf World. Now, after they took back the Continent in the Elf World, the three worlds could ally together to attack the human world. That was where Great Qin’s foundation was, and at this moment in time, Great Qin was in a position of great difficulty.
Over at the Elf World, the forces of both sides were about the same, so the Elf World did not launch a full-scale attack. After all, they knew that if they could not break through Great Qin, it would result in a large number of injuries and casualties for them.
Their main goal was to stall the army stationed here so that they could not support Great Qin in the Grassi World.
As the devil beast army, Half-Beast army, and Grassi army arrived, the Elf World was able to obtain victory. Facing the four worlds, Great Qin could only wretchedly retreat.
After these battles concluded, the three Continents that had been conquered by Great Qin were now reclaimed by the three worlds with the help of the Devil Horn Empire. Great Qin was now turtled up in the human world and engaged in full defense.
The three worlds and the Devil Horn Empire were not in a hurry to attack because the human world was where Great Qin’s roots were. If they wanted to attack, they could not be unprepared.
The four worlds gathered even more forces and made proper preparations, wanting to destroy Great Qin in one fell swoop.
From the beginning of this battle, the surrounding worlds had been paying much attention. Thinking back to how Great Qin had aggressively and domineeringly conquered three Continents when they had just fused into the Heaven Awaken World and contrasting that with them pitifully retreating to the human world, there was a great difference. Many people lamented and felt that the Great Qin Empire was doomed.
However, there was nothing that Great Qin could do about this; they could deal with the three worlds, but now that the strongest world nearby had also gotten involved, it was quite difficult for Great Qin to defend as a new world.
This was especially because the Devil Horn Empire was simply too powerful. Back then, a few worlds allying together had not been able to suppress it, and they could only mediate with it in the end.
Some people had said that the Great Qin Empire would surpass the Devil Horn Empire and that Great Qin’s Emperor was more powerful than the Devil Horn Emperor. Now, those people had taken a slap to the face because the result of the battle between the two parties was there.
It was not just that the Great Qin Empire was inferior to the Devil Horn Empire, Great Qin’s Emperor had fought the Devil Horn Emperor, and this had resulted in Great Qin’s Emperor running in defeat.
Some people said that it was because Great Qin’s Emperor had already suffered heavy injuries beforehand, which was why he seemed so weak; otherwise, he would not have lost so easily.
However, no one knew if this was true or not because they were not at the battlefield. As such, those rumors might be lies spread by those who supported Great Qin’s Emperor. The reality was that Great Qin’s Emperor had lost to the Devil Horn Emperor.
Everyone could not help but sigh – the Devil Horn Emperor was indeed the most powerful person and no one here could surpass him. Even though Great Qin’s Emperor was quite powerful, compared to the Devil Horn Emperor, he was still a bit too tender. Of course, they did not know about what had transpired at the Ancient Stem Banquet.
At the same time, the various worlds raised their wariness towards the Devil Horn Empire in order to be on guard if the Devil Horn Empire suddenly did anything.
Everyone’s attention was drawn away from Great Qin and onto the Devil Horn Empire. After all, they could only be wary of the most powerful person; Great Qin was evidently not as worthwhile to keep an eye on.
In response to the four worlds allying to destroy the Great Qin Empire, some people directly said, “The Great Qin Empire might be doomed this time; it’s impossible for it to defend against the invasion of four worlds.”
It was a pity that such a faction that should have had limitless potential had been too arrogant and too eye-catching, resulting in it being placed in such a situation.
Within the Great Qin Palace, Zhao Fu lay on his bed, his face incredibly pale. The imperial physicians tended to his injuries as Li Si reported about Great Qin’s injuries and casualties, as well as the situation outside. There was also news of the four worlds preparing to invade the human world.
The four worlds were on the verge of attacking, and this was a great crisis for Great Qin, as it was possible that they would not be able to successfully defend this time.
If Great Qin could not withstand this attack, it would ultimately be destroyed. Zhao Fu’s body was still weak, and he had both old wounds and new injuries. Now that such a frustrating matter had come up, he felt incredibly tortured.
“How will we defend against this attack?” Zhao Fu summoned his subordinates to his chambers and listened to their suggestions before sinking into his thoughts. He also talked to the Devils and received some information from them.
In the end, Zhao Fu decided to have the Night Dynasty officially join Great Qin and make the Southern Continent of the Dark Demon world part of Great Qin’s territory. The connection between Great Qin and the Night Dynasty had already been exposed, and there was no longer any way of hiding it. This way, they could make the Night Dynasty’s 20,000 Cities governmental cities and their City Lord Seals could be fused into beasts.
The targets for the fusion would be the Illusion Flower Devils. During the previous battle, Zhao Fu had not sent out the Illusion Flower Devils.
After all, he was not willing to completely reveal Great Qin’s strength and had to leave some tricks up its sleeves. Only then would they have a great effect in the future. The Illusion Flower Devils had average fighting strength, but their power lay in their ability to create illusions, which was something that Zhao Fu valued greatly.
Before, Zhao Fu had 30,000 Illusion Flower Devils as Great Qin’s trump card, and he could use them in this upcoming battle. Adding on 20,000 Illusion Flower Devils, they would have 50,000 in total.
Great Qin controlled a system faction that occupied an entire Continent in the Fish Scale world, but they would not use it now; it would have great effects in the future.
The Devils had participated in the previous battle and found out some important information about the Devil Horn Empire’s devil beasts, which was that the devil beasts could become Devils quite easily. Their bodies had already accumulated a large amount of devil qi, and they had their own consciousness. If they were permeated by even a bit of the devil qi from the Devil World, they would immediately become Devils.
Moreover, these Devils would be more powerful than ordinary Devils; once they became Devils, they would at least be Elite class, and most would be Chief class. Some would even be Lord class.
After hearing this, Zhao Fu felt a trace of hope in defeating the Devil Horn Empire.
