Lord of the Earth

(In the new year, I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!)
hum!
An illusory "god" of the sea, with a heart-pounding growl from its mouth and eyes that flashed cold light like a knife!

Its body is as big as a mountain, with knotty muscles. Every step it takes makes the earth tremble slightly, and there is a vague feeling of endless waves sweeping over.

In his hand, he was holding a weapon that was emitting a faint blue light. The weapon had a strange shape, similar to a trident, and seemed to be forged from some mysterious metal in the deep sea. The surface was covered with ancient runes, faintly exuding a power from the deep sea.

This is the magic weapon from the sea clan - the Spear of Poseidon!
According to legend, this magical weapon was once the symbol of the king of the sea and possessed the power to control the ocean!

Of course, what this "sea race" was holding in his hand was just a "replica" of the Holy Grail of the blood race...

But even if it is a replica, it is a jade-white artifact-level item!
In any race, this is a weapon that only the strongest people are qualified to use!

However, this weapon is now broken, and its tip has been cut off by a sharp weapon!
This is because, a few days ago, the owner of the "Trident of Poseidon" had a battle with the ghost god Lu Bu.

In the end, this jade-white divine weapon was broken by the Fang Tian Huaji.

Also broken was the head of a powerful sea creature who had reached the seventh level of transcendence!

"Roar... unwilling..."

However, as a weapon once used by gods, even though it is broken, it still exudes endless pressure...

Now, its power has been stimulated and transformed into the figure of "Sea God"!

However, such a powerful "Sea God" was constantly shaking in his arms while holding the "Sea King's Halberd"!
It was because opposite him, there was a figure wearing the Twelve Sulfur Emperor's Crown and a golden Nine-Dragon Robe with twelve emblems. His five fingers were slightly opened, and the power of thunder surged in his palms, directly grasping the broken "Sea King's Halberd"!
Catching the divine weapon with bare hands, such power is undoubtedly incredible!
And around the arm holding the "Sea King's Halberd" there are five colored thunder dragons formed by thunder of different colors: red, yellow, black, blue and white!
Ang, ang, ang!

At this time, the power of the five thunder dragons gathered in the center, forming a "five-colored millstone" that continuously crushed the phantom of the "Sea God", causing its huge body to continuously fall apart, and an expression of unwillingness and pain appeared on its face...

"Boom!"

Finally, with Xia Tian's gentle clenched palms, the five-colored lightning suddenly swallowed up the figure of the "Poseidon".

At the same time, the broken "Sea King's Halberd" began to melt and turned into a ball of liquid metal flashing with lightning.

Then, under his control, the ball of liquid metal gradually condensed into the shape of a sword. On the blade was a lifelike thunder dragon with five-colored thunder wrapped around the dragon's body, making it look quite sharp!
"I have finally mastered the Five Thunders Transformation Technique thoroughly..."

Xia Tian whispered to himself, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.

After acquiring this quasi-divine level "skill" from Nu Fenglei, Xia Tian tried to practice it, and now he has finally practiced it to the point of "perfection"!

The most important thing is that after this technique was integrated with the "Human Emperor's Dragon Riding Sutra", its own attributes were further enhanced, and its power was increased to the "Xuanhuang level"!
Not only can it refine any quasi-god-level weapon into ashes, but even a broken divine weapon like the "Sea King's Halberd" can be melted and decomposed.

Xia Tian can even manipulate the melted material and turn it into a "weapon" according to his own will!
For this purpose, Xia Tian specially sought out Gan Jiang and Mo Ye and their couple to learn the "art of refining weapons". Although the weapons they have made now are not as good as those of the two professional blacksmiths who have already reached the level of saints, they are already close to the extraordinary level!
“Even though I already have the Divine Weapon Furnace, this Five Thunders Hand is still extremely valuable and can even replace the function of the Gathering Hand… After all, the Gathering Hand consumes Qi and luck, and you never know when it will become unusable!”

That's why Xia Tian said so.

This is because, just a few days ago, the Will of the Earth suddenly gave a prompt that the Lord Channel was officially closed!
This means that the original channel through which many human lords could communicate has officially disappeared. This may just be a prelude to the gods’ coming in!
However, for summer.

During this period, the Qianxia Dynasty also made tremendous progress.

Now, half a year has passed since the battle in which the three major forces, or even the five major forces, conspired to join forces to attack the Qianxia Dynasty.

During these six months, the development of the Qianxia Dynasty has never stopped.

Xia Tian took a look at his "Lord Panel"!
【Lord of the Territory】Xia Tian

[Territory Level] Quasi-Fortune Dynasty (the power of fortune covers 33,000 miles)

【Lord Talent】Turning Stone into Gold

[Lord Skills] Hand of Gathering, Eye of Insight

[Population] 51.3 million (including 35.8 million ethnic minorities, 18 million affiliated ethnic minorities...)
[Number of resources] 115 billion (including 7250 holy resources, 552,000 extraordinary resources, 7,280,500 mortal resources, and ordinary resources...)
【Extra Luck】105.6 million...

Today, the "population" of the Qianxia Dynasty has officially exceeded 50 million.

This is undoubtedly a "milestone of a half-step dynasty", simply because theoretically the luck provided by a population of 100 million is enough to meet the basic requirements for advancement to a "dynasty"!
However, strictly speaking, there is a certain amount of "water" in this "population" figure.

This is because a large portion of them are actually creatures of those "affiliated alien races"!

The Qianxia Dynasty defeated the Sea Clan head-on and deployed troops on the border with the Spirit Clan, making the Spirit Clan afraid to act rashly.

The two most famous top races in the universe are at a disadvantage in the competition with the human race.

After the news spread, it attracted a large number of high and low-level alien races to "fawn on him"!
Many races are willing to offer their own treasures, and even to sign a "blood pact", in order to seek protection from the human race.

After all, the human race's City of All Races has left a good reputation. After considering it, Xia Tian accepted the "surrender" of some races with kinder personalities and special abilities.

It can be said that they were included in the list of "subjects" of the Qianxia Dynasty.

This is because, unlike dynasties, empires emphasize “all-inclusiveness”!
After all, to gather enough luck, relying solely on the human race itself, it would probably be necessary to include all the human beings on Earth in the entire area before the conditions could be met!
And being willing to include other races as citizens would make things ten times easier.

Although it may be because the human race itself is the "supreme race", the power of luck they obtain is far higher than that of ordinary races...the power of luck that can be provided by these lower and even higher alien races is obviously inferior to that of the human race!
But a little bit of sand makes a tower, and when a sufficient amount is gathered, it can also be a considerable fortune!

In addition, as a manifestation of the human race's "expansion of territory" and dominance in all directions, the "submission" of these alien races can obtain part of the rewards bestowed by the will of the earth.

The lowest level races, such as the Kobolds, give rewards below the gold level... while the higher level alien races have rewards above the gold level, or even jade-white treasure chests...

Of course, Xia Tian was even less interested in the fortune rewards gained from the surrender of foreign races!
Now, the extra luck power that the Qianxia Dynasty can mobilize has exceeded 100 million. You must know that the reward for killing a genius-level alien saint from the Earth Will is only tens of millions!

Just recruiting some subordinate races to achieve such a harvest is enough to make Xia Tian satisfied.

However, when it comes to providing "luck", alien races do not play a major role.

The real increase in fortune during this period came from the "Cherry Blossom Country" area.

Now, the "human civil war" between the Qianxia Dynasty and the Sakura Kingdom has broken out in full swing. After Bai Qi and Xin Qiji set out from the "Divine Bird City" with the White Tiger Legion, they have penetrated three thousand miles into the territory of the Sakura Kingdom in just one and a half months!
"There are now seven cities of destiny, thirty-eight towns of destiny... and two hundred and seventy-two village-level settlements... that have been captured by Palace Master Bai Qi, and the total number of territories among them has exceeded twenty..."

When Xia Tian’s consciousness connected to the "Skynet" and entered the "Spiritual Realm", Jia Xu, who came to report to him, said this.

"Especially Zhao Kuo and Li Ling, who performed the best...the troops they united conquered more than half of the cities in Sakura Country."

You know, in ancient China, every war took a very long time, whether it was preparing for the troops, conquering the city, or governing the city, it all took a huge amount of time.

But in this eternal land, the territory of three thousand miles was conquered in just one month.

This is not just because the Qianxia Dynasty’s war background is too strong.

It is also because Bai Qi, as a man-killer, has extraordinary military attainments.

In fact, if the Qianxia Dynasty really pushed forward with all its strength, with Bai Qi's ability, it is not ruled out that he has already pushed all the way to the "dynasty" border of the Shogunate Dynasty...

"It's just that Palace Master Bai Qi's killing may be a bit too heavy... As for those people from Sakura Country who are resisting stubbornly, Palace Master Bai Qi will massacre them all once he breaks into the city..."

"Later, once the people of Sakura Country knew that Lord Bai Qi was leading an attack, those lords would almost all flee with their high-ranking officials and important talents..."

"This will make it more difficult to win back the people's hearts and minds later on..."

Wen Tianxiang, who also came to report, spoke.

In fact, the process of conquering the Sakura Country region was not as difficult as Xia Tian had initially imagined...

After the Qianxia Dynasty sent troops to attack the Sakura Country area, Xia Tian originally thought that they would encounter many obstacles, and it would inevitably take some means and time to completely conquer it.

Unexpectedly, many leaders of the Sakura Kingdom not only refused to resist, but even surrendered on their own initiative, offering food and drink to welcome the royal division...

It’s just because the Sakura people who descended on the Land of Eternity have the same ancient background as the area where the Qianxia Dynasty is located.

For most of history, China was the "suzerain state" of the Sakura Kingdom and the Samsung Kingdom.

In particular, the nobles of the Sakura Country are proud of their knowledge of Chinese etiquette and ability to speak the Chinese language, and their every move imitates the "Celestial Empire"!
It is just like the Chinese people in the past, who were proud of trying every possible way to join the Beautiful Country, and even felt that "the air in that land was sweet"!
Today, the attitude of the "occupied area" of Sakura Country towards the Qianxia Dynasty is mixed.

Except for some lords, most people in Sakura Country not only have no resentment about becoming "subordinates" of the Qianxia Dynasty, but are extremely excited and thrilled!
In fact, many people joined the Qianxia Dynasty and immediately turned around to participate, turning their weapons and swinging them at other "Daimyo"...

It can be said that servility has been taken to the extreme!
Therefore, people like Wen Tianxiang still hope that Xia Tian can persuade Bai Qi not to kill too many people. After all, many of these people from the Sakura Country are chess pieces that can be used...

"Palace Master Bai Qi is a famous general of China. Since I have entrusted the task of conquering Sakura Country to him, I should not interfere..."

After thinking about it, Xia Tian did not issue a military order to Bai Qi to "treat prisoners well."

It’s just because he knew that Bai Qi’s path to becoming the “Peerless Prodigy” must be related to the “Man-Slayer”, and he didn’t want to hinder his path!

Secondly, the people of Sakura Country, after all, fear power rather than virtue. When they saw that the Qianxia Dynasty was under siege, they sent troops to attack. Once they were defeated by the Qianxia Dynasty, they turned against them and attacked again...

Such civilization can be used but you need to be careful to prevent yourself from being hurt by this knife!

"By the way, Your Majesty, in addition to Lord Bai, General Qi's achievements in battle are also very significant. Under the name of 'Emperor Jimmu', he has now gathered more than three million people from the Sakura Country and obtained the loyalty of dozens of towns in the Sakura Country..."

Jia Xu said again.

In a sense, we need to thank Bai Qi for this.

Fearing that Bai Qi would massacre the city, many "refugees" from the Sakura Kingdom territory fled to the territory of "Emperor Jimmu"!
After all, it was the "Shogunate Dynasty" that went to war with the Qianxia Dynasty. Now it seems that the Qianxia Dynasty has no intention of sending troops to the "Shenwu Dynasty". Instead, it is "sitting back and reaping the benefits", with its population doubling in a short period of time!
"In addition, according to the information sent by Wang Ying, the people of the Sea Clan are also constantly encroaching on the territory of the Sakura Country... Now, the area they occupy may not be much less than ours..." "The Shogunate Dynasty has lost one-third of its territory... I think Tokugawa Ieyasu should be in a state of panic..."

Among the ministers below, Heshen had a smile on his face.

After all, the shogunate itself was little more than a loose alliance.

Everyone chose to form a "united dynasty" with Tokugawa Ieyasu because of his historical status!
However, the failure in the Battle of the Capital of Gods not only caused the death of the "first fiercest general of the Warring States Period" of the Sakura Kingdom, who became a "Dragon Soul Warrior" under Lu Bu, but also caused the "Ninja Village" and part of the territory of the Sakura Kingdom to be "betrayed".

As a result, the Shogunate dynasty is in danger! (End of this chapter)
