Lord of the Earth

The timing of summer is extremely appropriate.

This is because the rules of heaven and earth in the Eternal Land are only initially formed, and even if it is forcibly descended with the help of the "City of Cataclysm", there are still some constraints!
Summer's sword strike was faster than a flash of light and ruthless beyond compare.

The timing was perfect; the golden sword light was not grand and unparalleled, but rather extremely condensed, like the first ray of dawn piercing through eternal darkness, carrying a resolute sharpness that could penetrate all laws and sever cause and effect.

Pfft——!
A teeth-grinding, teeth-grinding sound, like divine metal shattering!

On the body of the deity who had just crossed the border and descended upon the City of Saints, a hideous rift that was so deep it was visible to the bottom and about a thousand feet long suddenly appeared. Dark golden divine blood, like molten starlight, gushed out from it, splashing into the void and making a sizzling sound as it corroded space, turning into burning star fragments!

"Be bold!"

A deafening roar filled with excruciating pain, shock, and the furious rage of being utterly humiliated by ants.

"You lowly reptile! How dare you... how dare you harm my divine body! I will annihilate you, body and soul! May you be condemned to eternal damnation!!!"

The icy will that originally emanated from this top-tier deity, capable of freezing galaxies, was instantly replaced by a brutal killing intent that could incinerate all things!

The divine blood flowing from the wound exuded boundless divine power, transforming into a beam of scarlet light in his mouth and condensing into a blood-red battle blade radiating destructive energy in his hand!

The next moment, the battle blade cleaved through space and time.

A surging crimson blade of light, with overwhelming force, rushed towards Xia Tian, ​​obliterating space wherever it passed.

"cut!"

Summer's gaze was like an ancient, cold star, utterly fearless.

Combined with the "appearance of an emperor", he already possesses an aura no less than that of a top-tier deity, and the imperial divine blade formed from the sword and throne in his hand swung down fiercely!

This sword strike carries the weight of the vast land of the Qianxia Dynasty, the fervent prayers of its millions of people, and the martial will of this unparalleled genius to expand the territory!

Boom! ! ! !
The ultimate collision was like the first thunderclap at the beginning of time!
The golden sword light and the chaotic blade light collided violently. The point of impact did not explode, but instead instantly collapsed into an absolute dark singularity that devoured all light and heat!

Then the singularity expanded, transforming into a destructive storm that swept across the entire world!

Space, like a fragile work of glass, crumbled completely after being covered with dark spiderweb-like cracks, revealing the raging spacetime turbulence beneath. Wherever the shockwave swept, the earth was ripped up, shattered, and vaporized, and countless catastrophic beings instantly turned into nothingness particles...

At the eye of the storm, the summer's "Imperial Aura" was surrounded by a violently pulsating golden light, and the billions of light points of faith that made up the Imperial Aura hummed and trembled, as if they could be torn apart at any moment.

But his feet remained firmly planted on the spot, refusing to retreat an inch, and the fighting spirit in his eyes shone even brighter under the baptism of the destructive storm!
'How dare you!'

This being is considered a top-tier being even among the gods.

Summer's proactive sword-wielding is nothing short of an ant challenging the heavens!
"Ok?"

Deep within the Gate of Cataclysm, in the enormous, twisted, demonic eye, Xia Tian's imposing imperial presence was reflected with utter indifference.

"how come……"

The will of that top-level deity fluctuated violently.

He had just used most of his power in that attack, and the annihilation blade light, which was enough to easily obliterate ordinary gods, was blocked by the human race once again.

This result undoubtedly overturned its understanding of the limits of human "ant" power. An incredulous shock flashed in its demonic eyes. This achievement was enough to shake the heavens.

It should be noted that Xia Tian's current true strength is only at the "peak demigod" level!

"Hmph! You do have some brute strength! But an ant is still an ant... Witness true divine power! Myriad Realms Return to Ruins!"

Although he was a "top-tier" opponent, this enemy clearly did not possess a "calm and composed" mindset.

The supreme deity's demonic eyes suddenly lit up, as if endless star fields were being created and destroyed within them, and the blade light formed from his own "divine blood" swung out once more!
This time, it wasn't just a single flash of blades.

Instead, it is like a cosmic underground river bursting its banks, a surging, chaotic, and desolate tide. Wherever this tide passes, laws collapse, concepts are annihilated, and even the turbulent flow of spacetime is assimilated into a lifeless void!
Its power was more than ten times stronger than the previous strike!
This is a supreme deity using the true, primordial power of destruction, intending to completely erase Xia Tian, ​​along with his imperial appearance, from the realm of existence.

Even a powerful being like the "Emperor's Appearance" let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain under this attack. The golden light was rapidly compressed and eroded, and the Xuanhuang Qi River on its surface dimmed, as if it were about to be completely extinguished by this tide of annihilation.

Summer, merging with the Emperor's true form, let out a muffled groan, a wisp of dazzling golden-red spilling from the corner of his mouth—

"His Majesty!"

"careful!"

The expressions of many Qianxia officials and prodigies changed drastically, and they wanted to join the battle!
"It doesn't matter!"

Summer refused.

The power of this attack was so great that even Zhao Yun and Bai Qi had little ability to resist it.

Although she was in the eye of the storm, Xia Tian's eyes remained calm and shone with a light that was even more dazzling than the sun!

"The land of Qianxia, ​​my people! Our faith will never waver, our flame will burn forever!"

"In my name, I ignite the dragon vein power of my Qianxia lands and rivers, and forge—an immortal imperial court!"

This voice not only reached the ears of the many Qianxia officials and geniuses in the "City of Saints," but also instantly resounded throughout the entire Qianxia territory!

This reached the ears of billions of humans, and even more alien races.

"It's His Majesty's voice..."

"His Majesty is in danger and needs our strength..."

"We will do our utmost to support you..."

Sensing the information in their minds, a large number of Qianxia people were shaken, and a powerful force of belief gathered into the Qi Yun Sea in the sky.

Rumbling--

In the City of Saints, the phantom image of the entire territory of the Qianxia Dynasty suddenly appeared clearly behind the Emperor of Xia!
The phantom images of mountains and rivers, cities and villages, and billions of living beings are all incredibly lifelike!
At the core of the territory, the nine dormant Xuanhuang-level earth vein dragon souls let out a deafening dragon roar, and their bodies suddenly "burned"!
This is the summer's complete mobilization of the entire Qianxia's "luck," transforming the indomitable spirit of the entire dynasty's land and rivers, and the torrent of faith erupting from hundreds of millions of people at this moment, into the most fervent fuel injected into the "imperial countenance" above his head!
"Roar--!"

The previously dull imperial aura suddenly burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light!
The light was no longer pure gold, but a blazing white holy radiance that combined the Xuanhuang divine fire burning the dragon veins with the faith of billions of humans. The size of the Emperor's Form did not increase dramatically, but its essence underwent a qualitative leap, as if it had transformed from a phantom projection into the prototype of an immortal imperial court that existed between reality and illusion! The Nine Cauldrons surrounding the Emperor's Form transformed into an even more powerful "Nine Cauldrons" form, emitting a roar that suppressed the heavens!
"Break for me!"

Summer, as the imperial court began to take shape, once again wielded the divine blade of imperial power!
Tsk-!
That surging, overwhelming tide of annihilation, seemingly capable of obliterating all worlds.

It was actually cleaved in two by this sword that burned the dragon veins of mountains and rivers and carried the will of the immortal imperial court. Like a hot knife cutting butter, the cleaved tide of annihilation surged to both sides, plowing the earth behind it into two bottomless, terrifying abysses that exuded a deathly aura, but could no longer touch Xia Tian!
Even more surprisingly, the reverse strike landed on that top-tier god who had broken through the boundary, tearing open another gash ten thousand feet long... The surging divine blood, like a celestial river being torn apart, dyed the entire human holy city red!

"A top-tier deity, is that all?"

The "Emperor God" with the appearance of summer stood on the void, atop the split tide of annihilation. The burning Xuanhuang divine fire and the blazing white holy light intertwined, illuminating this young yet majestic figure!
"what?!"

Deep within the Gate of Cataclysm, in the enormous, twisted, demonic eye, Xia Tian's imposing imperial presence was reflected with utter indifference.

"This child... must not be allowed to live! What are you waiting for? The longer you drag this out, the greater the power that humanity can gather!"

The injured top deity felt utterly humiliated, and his voice boomed like thunder.

Rumble!
The next moment, figures radiating the same supreme divine power emerged from the "City of Cataclysm"! Some were distorted stellar bodies, some were flowing shadow abysses, and some were pure elemental divine bodies... Each one exuded supreme divine might far exceeding that of ordinary gods!

More than ten top-tier deities!
They walked out of the City of Cataclysm, their cold gazes sweeping across the battlefield. Wherever they passed, the air seemed to freeze, and the Holy City's protective shield flickered violently, almost extinguishing completely!

"There are...so many top-tier deities?!"

"Oh my god... how could this possibly withstand..."

"Were our previous victories merely an appetizer for the enemy?"

Despair spread like a plague through the human ranks. The hope that had just been ignited by Xia Tian's counterattack was instantly crushed by the oppressive aura of these dozen or so top-tier deities.

Even top generals like Wei Qing and Huo Qubing looked solemn and gripped their weapons tightly—they could slay ordinary gods, but facing so many top beings, they had absolutely no chance of winning!
"His Majesty……"

One of the ministers, whose voice choked with emotion, looked at Xia Tian's retreating figure, his eyes filled with worry and despair.

The remaining imperial projections had not yet fully descended, and at this moment, summer seemed like the only lone boat in a raging storm.

"The other emperors were also powerless to withstand the might of the top deities."

Some wise men shook their heads bitterly.

"The path of destiny also has levels. Even if an ordinary dynasty is blessed with destiny, it can only reach the level of 'gods'!"

At this moment, more than ten top-level deities pressed forward step by step, their terrifying divine might like a tangible mountain, making everyone breathless.

Some of the defenders on the holy city even began to break down, throwing away their weapons and collapsing to the ground with empty eyes—this was a despair that no human could withstand!

"Hmph! Extraterrestrial evil gods, do you really think our human race has no one left?!"

At this critical moment, an even more ancient and domineering voice, seemingly containing the supreme majesty of iron horses trampling mountains and rivers, exploded like a thunderclap that split the heavens and the earth, instantly drowning out all divine power and energy explosions!

hum!hum!hum!hum!
The battlefield's surrounding void trembled violently, as if a massive boulder had been thrown into a calm lake. Towering beams of light tore through the sky, descending with an ancient and majestic aura!

In the eastern sky, a vast expanse of purple mist stretched for 30,000 miles, like an emperor's chariot patrolling the heavens!
A massive, jet-black banner bearing the character "Qin," embroidered with a ferocious black bird totem, tore through the void and fluttered loudly!

Beneath the banner stood a blurry yet incredibly majestic imperial figure, clad in a black imperial robe, a crown reaching to the heavens, and a Tai'a sword hanging from his waist. The phantom of the Great Wall stretched like a dragon, while the terracotta warriors stood in solemn formation. The might of the Ancestral Dragon Emperor swept across the six directions and swallowed the eight wastelands!

"Anyone who violates my human territory—die!"

The First Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang – Ying Zheng!
In the southern sky, blazing flames scorched the heavens, staining half the universe crimson. A massive, blood-red banner bearing the character "明" (Ming) fluttered in the fire!

Despite its humble appearance, the Imperial Shadows under its banner contain the grandeur and iron will of the founding emperor, with the phantom of the nation's agriculture and sericulture reflecting the sacred flames of Hongwu that burned away all decay!
"You demons and monsters, how dare you be so arrogant? Get back here!"

Emperor Taizu of Ming – Zhu Yuanzhang!

In the western sky, golden rays of light pierce the auspicious clouds! A dragon flag embroidered with the character "Tang" and featuring a five-clawed golden dragon unfurls!

The Emperor's Shadow, with its majestic and inclusive demeanor, was protected by the heroic spirits of all nations and ethnicities behind him. The Heavenly Khan's divine might illuminated the eight directions, and his voice boomed like a bell: "How can the territory of the Great Tang be allowed to allow evil gods to run rampant? All soldiers, follow me—to defend against the enemy!"

Emperor Taizong of Tang – Li Shimin!

In the northern void, the primordial energy surged like a dragon, and the imperial banner with the character "Han" on a black background and gold patterns stood tall!

The Imperial Shadow under its banner carries the glorious light of Emperor Wenjing, who laid a solid foundation for the dynasty and benefited all people. At its center, a powerful and vigorous Imperial Shadow gleam is faintly visible.

"Han soldiers, draw your swords!"

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che!

All four of China's "quasi-imperial dynasties" have come here, plus Xia Tian, ​​who slew a god in the middle; each of them has already reached the level of "peerless genius"...

More than that!

The Roman golden eagle banner, the Persian fire-worshipping emblem, the Egyptian sun boat... one after another, human emperors, symbolizing the pinnacle of different human civilizations and carrying the beliefs of hundreds of millions of years, emerged from the void, appearing on the battlefield like pillars of strength.

Under the blessing of the "City of Saints", the majestic imperial aura emanating from each "Imperial Aura" is no less than that of a top-level deity!
"Long live the Emperor!!"

"It's His Majesty!!"

"Heavenly Khan!!!"

A roar like a mountain and a tsunami instantly resounded through the sky, dispelling the despair in everyone's hearts!
Qin warriors knelt and drew their swords, Han cavalry raised their spears and roared, Tang armored soldiers struck chests like thunder, Ming army, Holy Roman Empire, Temple, Viking warriors...

All the human armies erupted with a roar that came from their very souls!
More than ten top-level gods who descended from the "City of Catastrophe" were forcibly blocked by the sudden arrival of the projections of emperors, which were even more numerous and had a more imposing aura!

The terrifying divine power and the vast imperial power collided and annihilated fiercely in the void, forming deadly forbidden zones where the laws were in chaos!
"Unbelievably, without even realizing it, so many forces of destiny have been established..."

Deep within the Gate of Cataclysm, the enormous demonic eye was fixed on Xia Tian, ​​who stood in the void, his body burning with Xuanhuang divine fire and blazing white holy light, in the nascent form of the "Immortal Imperial Court," and then swept across the surrounding void the imperial projections that were like giant pillars supporting the sky!
"Humans are truly cunning and have been plotting for a long time..."

His cold will was filled with disdain, yet it also concealed a hint of solemnity. (End of Chapter)
