"Commander Jun Wu of the Eighth Army's First Legion of the Ten Directions Empire greets Emperor Fudian," Jun Wu said. He had known the visitor was Yaodie for a long time and had contacted Liu Lang when he was still at the Cold Forest Star Domain's base. Now, he was just waiting for Ye Yun's approval.
If Ye Yun did not agree, he knew very well what consequences his legion would face. However, after more than a year of campaigning in this universe with Liu Lang, the daily battles had made them, whose cultivation was suppressed, indifferent to life and death.
"Not bad. It seems the food in the Ten Directions Empire is good. In just over a year, even the side effects of over-drawing one's talent have been repaired by sixty percent. It seems you have found a good master."
Yaodie nodded at Jun Wu, who was brimming with battle spirit. The admiration in his eyes was evident. He seemed unbothered by the fact that Jun Wu, under Ye Yun's command, would now turn his gun on him.
"It is our honor to serve the Emperor. We now request all of you to withdraw from our Ka Mu Star Domain. This is the territory of our Ten Directions Empire. Until our Emperor replies, if any of you step into our imperial territory again, you will be killed."
It had to be said that Jun Wu was truly indifferent to death. A mere cultivator at the peak of the Monarch realm dared to speak to over a hundred quasi-emperors in such a manner, which was truly unprecedented.
"Kid, you, a mere Monarch, dare to speak to our Emperor like this? It seems you are sincerely seeking death!"
Jun Wu's words instantly enraged a disciple of the Ghost King Sect. He immediately stepped forward, cursing and pointing at Jun Wu. If the five great sects and Gan Chenzi had not strongly forbidden them from taking action, he would have already launched an attack.
The six great sects gathered around Yaodie, with clear divisions of responsibility. Each sect had its own affairs to manage. The Ghost King Sect's responsibility was to ensure Yaodie's safety, and thus, the entire Imperial Guard of the Fudian Imperial Palace was under the Ghost King Sect's charge.
"Although your strength is immense, it does not mean you can act with impunity within our Ten Directions Empire! First Legion, hear my order! In one quarter of an hour, if any of the Fudian Empire personnel have not withdrawn from our imperial territory, they will be killed without mercy!"
Jun Wu's words were filled with a battle-hardened aura. His killing intent was not in the least bit contained, despite the enemy's strength being tens of thousands of times greater than his own.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Squadrons of soldiers emerged from the domain gates. In just a moment, thirty million Monarch-level soldiers had formed a battle formation a thousand miles away from Yaodie.
"Heh heh, Jun Wu, you know that your thirty million Monarch soldiers cannot stop us, let alone with so many quasi-emperors here," Yaodie said, looking at Jun Wu. He had not expected this man, whom he had once controlled, to be so resolute.
"If we cannot stop them, we will use our lives to block them!" Jun Wu said calmly, his eyes surprisingly serene, exceeding Yaodie's expectations. Even the soldiers behind him were the same.
There was not the slightest hint of resentment in their eyes for his past actions.
As Jun Wu finished speaking, the entire star domain fell into silence. Only two figures in the distance were seen constantly moving around the area where two figures had fought earlier. They appeared to be strolling leisurely, yet they exuded divine power and Buddhist light.
"Golden Cicada, what have you found?" The third eye of Divine Oracle, glowing with silver light, appeared before the Buddhist Master Golden Cicada, interrupting his prayer beads.
"Strange. It's only been two months, yet I can't even reconstruct what happened. My Samsara Eye is completely blank. This shouldn't be the case." The Buddhist Master Golden Cicada's eyes no longer held the solemnity and stability of an enlightened monk, but rather a trace of unease.
"Hall Master Divine Oracle, did you see anything?"
"The same as you," Divine Oracle replied with a wry smile, shaking his head.
His divine eyes could see the past and the future, but since entering the mortal world this time, it seemed that anything related to the Ten Directions Empire caused them to malfunction.
Furthermore, even the Buddhist sect's Samsara Eye, which could observe the past, could not reconstruct the previous war. This indicated that the matter was beyond the scope of interference for their two great sects.
This was also why they appeared here only after two months. For the past two months, they had been trying to ascertain the specifics of this event at the Fudian Imperial Palace, but all their attempts had failed.
This time, entering the Ka Mu Star Domain was to see if they could witness the war on the battlefield. They also intended to use the occasion of celebrating the Fudian Empire's Princess Changting's first birthday to get closer to the ruler of the Ten Directions Empire, to assess his true strength and his future on the Emperor's Road, so that everyone would have a better understanding.
Of course, the most important thing was that they wanted to know if the Sky Dao Sect had been destroyed by the ruler of the Ten Directions Empire, whether he had a great general named Wen Fo, whether there was a terrifying existence that devoured demons, and also the quasi-emperors of the God and Ghost races.
There was so much they wanted to know.
"Your Majesty, these ants are truly detestable. I will kill them and then directly seek out their master." The Ghost Race cultivator, who had been enraged by Jun Wu daring to show killing intent towards him, a peak-level perfect cultivator, could no longer contain himself and finally attacked.
The people from the reclusive sects remained non-committal. They were accustomed to their superior status. Now, being provoked by what they considered mere ants, they were already impatient, but they had not expressed their stance, as their quasi-emperor powerhouses were present and had forbidden them from taking action.
The Ghost King Sect cultivator was covered in ghostly energy, and his eyes were filled with infinite rage and killing intent as he looked at Jun Wu. He shook his ghost banner, and endless Yin energy transformed into numerous Yin spirits, which attacked Jun Wu and his soldiers.
"You dare to act on my territory. I must commend your courage!"
A voice suddenly boomed throughout the star domain. All the Yin spirits, along with the attacking Ghost King Sect disciple, vanished like bubbles under this supreme might. Not even a speck remained; their existence was completely erased.
This...
How could he be so powerful! With a single sentence, he could suppress the entire star domain and directly obliterate a cultivator at the peak of the Extreme level. How powerful was this!
The faces of all the Fudian Empire personnel turned extremely pale. With just one sentence, they understood the power of the ruler of the Ten Directions Empire, whom they had intended to test.
"Yaodie, my princess is celebrating her first birthday. I do not wish for bloodshed. You are welcome as a guest, but if you harbor any other intentions, I will not hesitate to destroy your empire and all the reclusive quasi-emperors behind you! Just like the Sky Dao Sect of the past!"
Ye Yun's voice resounded again. Simultaneously, a mirror appeared before them without any warning, devoid of any energy fluctuations. The entire scene fell silent. The disciples from the reclusive sects at the Extreme level dared not even breathe.
The Kunlun Mirror!!!
