Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

Good heavens, King of Yizhou! If Liu Yan and Lin Mu heard this, I wonder if they would burst into laughter.

To be honest, Lin Mu had also had such arrogant thoughts before, but he would never say them out loud, only fantasize about them silently in his heart.

On the surface, one must use all one's strength and cunning to fight, grab, or even steal, to gradually accumulate enough resources to achieve one's goal.

No one was as arrogant as Zhu Xuan, who said it outright...

Upon hearing Zhu Xuan's arrogant words, Zhu Xiang's eyes narrowed sharply, and his expression of surprise and doubt deepened as he stared at his son.

He never imagined that, after some time, his son would already be envisioning a future where he would rule Yizhou and become a king...

Zhu Xiang knew that although his son Zhu Xuan was proud and arrogant, he was not a brainless person. He must have encountered some great opportunity in the mythical world to give him the confidence to say those words!
He spoke slowly after a long pause: "Since you are 80% confident, I won't say anything more. But how should we respond to Lin Mu? He has offered a way out, and a complete rejection would only push him to the opposite side. At this crucial moment, having another opponent for no reason is not good for us."

Zhu Xuan clenched his fist, his knuckles turning bluish-white from the force. Lin Mu was like a mountain looming over all the players, a fact everyone was aware of, so the pressure Lin Mu exerted on them was immense.

As the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Xiang felt this pressure, so when he heard Lin Mu's message, he immediately took it seriously and, disregarding Zhu Xuan's busy schedule, immediately told him to go offline.

Zhu Xuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying coldly, "Let him step aside. This is an incredible opportunity for me, and I've been setting up this scheme for so long. I'm not going to share the benefits with him. He can't possibly steal the credit."

After a pause, Zhu Xuan calmed down and said softly, "But there's no need to be so absolute, Father. Just be honest with Lin Mu and say that you don't know the whole story either, and that I can't say anything because of certain restrictions."

In reality, they genuinely had no idea what Zhu Xuan was doing...

"We can ask Lin Mu for help. He can hold Liu Bei off and keep him calm for now. The rest is up to us..."

"I'm afraid we might not be able to hold on. Lin Mu is a very cunning guy; otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten to where he is today." Zhu Xiang frowned and reminded him, "Since he can guess your plans, he can also expect us to respond this way. If he secretly trips you up, you won't be able to deal with it in this situation."

"No, Lin Mu would want to see Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei harmed. He will definitely help..." Zhu Xuan said confidently.

“Alright! We’ll discuss it with the people in the Staff Office and then go back to Linmu…” Zhu Xiang nodded in agreement.

"Okay...you guys go get it done." Zhu Xuan nodded and immediately turned around and went into the nutrient tank.

Zhu Xiang watched Zhu Xuan's retreating figure and whispered, "Xuan'er... be careful!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xuan paused for a moment, then replied without turning his head, "Okay, Dad."

When Zhu Xiang heard Zhu Xuan call him "Dad" so affectionately, he was initially quite excited because his son hadn't called him that affectionately in a long time. But after a moment's thought, Zhu Xiang felt uneasy.

Is it really as rumored, that in Chang'an, death is permanent, even the physical body in the real world dies?!
It is said that no one knows a son better than his father, and Zhu Xiang's conjecture is correct.

Zhu Xuan also heard the system notification, so at this moment he called out the affectionate name that he hadn't used in a long time.

……

Let's return our perspective to the Temple of Heaven.

Beneath the Temple of Heaven, without the divine general-level combat power, the situation for the Han army worsened with the passage of time.

"Kill!!!" Just then, a roar resounded from the Han army. A divine general charged into the Flying Bear Divine Army's formation without regard for anything else. He swung his greatsword and cleaved two Earth-rank Martial General-level Flying Bear Divine Army soldiers to death. The terrifying blade energy exploded, affecting a dozen or so ordinary Flying Bear Divine Army soldiers nearby, turning them into a bloody mist.

After that, he began to fight wildly, disregarding the karma that was binding him.

But just after he launched his third attack, a terrifying bolt of blood-red lightning descended from the sky without warning, striking the Han general directly.

In a mere instant, under the crimson lightning, the Han general was instantly reduced to ashes, without any chance whatsoever…

Three strikes, taking away only a few dozen Flying Bear Divine Army soldiers... and then he was killed. It was such a waste!
It should be noted that the Flying Bear Divine Army still has half its current strength. Exchanging a mere few dozen soldiers for a single general is extremely worthwhile.

Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song, and others even specifically targeted the Flying Bear Divine Army, but they only managed to kill about 50,000 of them, which shows how terrifying this army was.

"The power of the karmic tribulation has reached its peak here," Lu Zhi, who had stopped fighting in the crowd, said with a furrowed brow.

That Han general was a suicide soldier they sent out to test their skills.

You must understand, he was just an ordinary divine general. He was already in trouble for killing a few dozen soldiers. If they attacked him with dozens of times their number, killing even one soldier might trigger a heavenly tribulation!
In this way, it's impossible to make a move.

It's not that they're afraid of dying, but that they're afraid of dying in a way that isn't worth it.

The divine general we just saw proved this point.

"Up there's still no result?!" Lu Zhi couldn't help but turn around, looking at the sea of ​​blood at the top of the Temple of Heaven and the Yellow Sea below, and sighed softly.

If it weren't for Wang Yun's thorough preparations, their previous plans would have truly failed... So, having a teammate like Wang Yun is quite reliable, well... even if he's cunning, as long as he's useful to the overall situation, that's fine.

"Boom!~~~~" Just then, the sea of ​​blood in the sky emitted a series of terrifying roars.

In the sky battlefield, the terrifying sea of ​​blood seemed boundless, and a fierce aura surged across the heavens, shrouding the entire hundred-mile stretch of sky in deep crimson blood.

However, amidst the roaring sounds, the sea of ​​blood began to churn, and in some places, it cracked like shattered glass. Tiny spatial rifts appeared in the sea of ​​blood, spewing out fierce winds and swirling with towering blood.

The thick sea of ​​blood spread out in layers, sealing off the entire world and swallowing the entire towering black dragon. Its tail, head, and body were completely obscured... This shows just how terrifying Dian Wei's sea of ​​blood was.

Many insightful people have already reassessed Dian Wei's strength.

"Crack crack crack!~~~~" Just then, terrifying dark lightning bolts lurked and rolled deep in the sky, with muffled rumbling sounds that shook the sky slightly.

Just then, a terrifying, deathly aura of destruction filled the world, and a terrifying pressure that could crush all living beings enveloped the entire Altar of Heaven, as if turning this world into a complete dead end.

Immediately afterwards, the terrifying sea of ​​blood began to shrink at an alarming speed.

The sea of ​​blood vanished, revealing a pure blue sky. And in the deepest recesses of the firmament, a colossal black shadow, obscuring the sky, slowly emerged. A gigantic black shadow of unknown height floated above the heavens. Terrifying crimson light surged around it, causing the surrounding space to tremble violently, as if it were about to shatter.

The aura emanating from the enormous black shadow swept across the entire Temple of Heaven like an overturned ocean, and a power that seemed to crush all life in the world shook in all directions.

All eyes were drawn to the enormous black shadow.

And that dark figure was none other than… Dian Wei!!!

At this moment, the people of China saw Dian Wei's full picture very clearly!
In the picture, he is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a back, his muscles and bones protruding like a steel-cast rock. His dark and rough skin is covered with crisscrossing scars of varying depths, each scar a blood-stained medal from a deadly battle.

His body was surging with boiling blood and qi, like a crimson sea of ​​blood, and his surging killing intent soared into the sky.

His dark face was covered with scars, marks left from the battle just now... which made Dian Wei look even more fierce and intimidating.

People seemed to see the murderous aura of the ancient battlefield, the indomitable fighting spirit that filled everyone's hearts. A strange Daoist image condensed in their minds, and finally a name appeared: Ancient Evil Lai!
"Boom!" Dian Wei's body surged with terrifying blood energy, as if a majestic divine power that had suppressed all ages was slowly awakening.

Compared to Lü Bu, who was also portrayed as the greatest general under heaven, Dian Wei is more ferocious. Lü Bu is also fierce, but he possesses a hidden elegance and refinement…

"Roar!!!!" As soon as Dian Wei, the Sky-Supporting Warrior, was born, he roared to the sky, shaking the heavens and earth. Even through the light barrier, countless people felt as if they were in the midst of his terrifying power, their eyes and ears throbbing.

"Roar!!!" Just then, a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth came.

Only then did people realize that beneath Dian Wei, the equally enormous, towering black dragon had reappeared!

However, compared to the other, the Tongtian Black Dragon occupies a larger area of ​​the sky, while Dian Wei is taller and has a more majestic body.

"You are no ordinary Ten-Yuan Heavenly General!!! Your Dao power... is beyond what this stage can achieve!"

"Your Heavenly Dharma Form is not something that can be condensed at this stage!!!" The Heavenly Black Dragon roared to the sky.

When it was enveloped in a sea of ​​blood, it had already deeply experienced its horror.

If Dian Wei's celestial status hadn't been several levels lower than his, it might have been devoured and digested by the sea of ​​blood long ago!
However, it also suffered greatly in the sea of ​​blood, with many of its dragon bodies bruised and its breathing becoming somewhat disordered.

Most importantly, he couldn't do anything about Dian Wei, who was elusive and unpredictable in the sea of ​​blood. Left with no other choice, he could only use his entire dragon body as a weapon to withstand Dian Wei's sneak attacks.

However, if Dian Wei persisted a little longer, it would basically have no chance.

Just then, Dian Wei seemed to reach his limit and immediately withdrew the Sea of ​​Blood, gathering it into the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth!

Dian Wei has indeed broken through to the level of a Heavenly General!

However, some particularly observant players noticed that there was no system announcement when Dian Wei broke through to the Heavenly General level.
Does breaking through the ranks of historical figures not count towards the achievement reward system?
But there have been examples of this before... That's really strange.

As it roared, the Heavenly Black Dragon trembled, and terrifying black light surged from its body, quickly enveloping the entire dragon.

The next moment, all the black light paused and suddenly condensed, revealing a terrifying true dragon's body before the world.

This is a true dragon with a body that is more expansive and majestic than the previous Tongtian Black Emperor Dragon.

Soaring among the clouds, its entire body covered in scales that gleamed with an even deeper, darker black, as tough as millennia-old black iron. Each scale, like tempered refined iron, shimmered with a dark, annihilating, chilling light, and each scale contained a malevolent power capable of corroding heaven and earth.

The ferocious dragon head hung high in the sky, its pair of vertical pupils as cold as a hellish pool, filled with violent scarlet blood vessels, fixedly locked on the image of Dian Wei not far away.

The dragon's horns seemed to pierce the sky, and its swaying whiskers constantly spewed out black miasma. Wherever the miasma passed, the void seemed to corrode and collapse inch by inch, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was instantly dissolved, revealing the supreme ferocity of the true dragon.

This is the peerless true dragon that once roamed the land and wreaked havoc across the world—the Black Dragon!
After activating its Heavenly Manifestation, the Heavenly Black Dragon finally transformed into a black dragon!
But the Black Dragon is its true current pursuit.

"Roar!!" The Heavenly Black Dragon, no... it should be called a black dragon now, roared to the sky and pounced directly at Dian Wei.

A terrifying gale swept across the sky, whipping up a horrific hurricane.

However, perhaps due to the special nature of this place, the terrible hurricane only raged in the sky and did not affect the area below.

Meanwhile, thick, dark clouds appeared in the sky at some unknown time.

Opposite them, a towering figure stood proudly, unyielding amidst the overwhelming dragon's might, easily withstanding the terrifying pressure of the black dragon crushing the heavens and earth.

At this moment, Dian Wei had no weapon in his hand and was empty-handed.

But for some reason, everyone believed that those hands were Dian Wei's weapons!
Seeing the black dragon charging towards him, Dian Wei showed no fear whatsoever. His eyes were bloodshot, like burning flames of battle, and his gaze was sharper than a cold blade. His hands, like the blood-red hands of the Styx River, reached out and grabbed directly forward.

Is Dian Wei really going to rely on his unparalleled brute strength and indomitable will to fight to the death, defying the Black Dragon's might, and directly grab the dragon with his bare hands?!
"You wicked beast, you've brought chaos to the Han Dynasty, destroyed the meritorious Red Dragon, and stolen the fortune of the land! Today, Lord Dian is here to shatter your dragon bones and suppress your evil spirits!" Dian Wei roared as he clawed at the enemy.

Dian Wei, the butcher of the battlefield, officially revealed his most ferocious side to the entire land!

At that moment, everyone remembered Dian Gongtu!
Dian Wei's roar was like a thunderclap, tearing through the dark clouds and freezing the raging hurricane's power. The roar of the entire world fell silent.

Before the roar subsided, the crimson light around him surged outwards, suddenly increasing several times in size. The power of heaven and earth, which had been dormant deep within the Tongtian Dharma Form, was suddenly unsealed, and the boundless crimson blood energy soared into the sky, staining half of the shattered heavens red.

"Clang!!!" The two collided, and a terrifying roar reverberated.

Although no energy ripples swept down, the deafening collision sound still caused eardrum pain for everyone in the Temple of Heaven and the surrounding area.

Even Lin Mu, who was leisurely watching the show, felt pain in his eardrums at this moment.
