Lord of the Earth

Indeed, as one of the earliest outstanding figures of the Qianxia Dynasty, Hua Rong himself had already reached the level of a quasi-true god.

The "Flower Moon Dao Fruit Prototype" that it condenses contains exquisite illusory Dao rhyme, which can turn the illusory into the real and kill people invisibly!

The Zerg, beings that form "aggregates" through resonance, happen to have weak "divine soul power" and are easily restrained by the "Flower Moon Dao Fruit"!

Above the sky, countless black swarms of insects stretched as far as the eye could see.

Under the moonlight, they were all frozen in place, their movements slowed, and then... one by one, their life force was extinguished, and they fell from the sky.

This is undoubtedly an extremely powerful "Tao Fruit".

The mere dissipation of Daoist energy caused heavy losses to the surrounding insectoids, wiping out billions of insects in one fell swoop!
"Buzz!"

However, the swarm of insects that rushed out from the White Tiger Dynasty had already reached the level of "quasi-true gods".

Upon realizing the presence of a powerful being of equal strength on the human side, a Dao Fruit resembling an insect hive suddenly appeared, like a black moon covering half the sky.
The silver moon and the black moon stand facing each other in the sky!
The roaring insect chirps emanating from the "Black Moon" transformed into an "insect chirping storm" that crashed towards Silvermoon City.

Rumble!
The collision of the quasi-god level forces caused the void to tremble violently, and the earth was torn open with hideous canyons. Even the aftershocks of the impact made it impossible for beings below the demigod level to stand firmly!
"Activate the city's core formation, using the Moon Well as a conduit to draw upon the power of the moon!"

Faced with this terrifying fluctuation, the ground of Silver Moon City trembled violently, accompanied by Hua Rong's command.

Centered around the "Moon Well," silver array patterns spread rapidly, clinging to the city walls and winding around the buildings like living things, instantly covering the entire city!
This is a protective array exclusive to Silvermoon City. Theoretically, once its full power is unleashed, it can withstand even attacks from "quasi-true god" level beings, and may even be used to launch a counterattack!

With the protection of the great formation, preventing the city's residents from being directly impacted by the battle, Hua Rong himself decided to end the war quickly.

The next moment, the light emitted by the "Silver Moon Dao Fruit" above their heads changed from dreamlike to icy cold, and a "building" suddenly appeared in the bright moon!
"It seems to be... the Moon Palace?"

Within Silvermoon City, someone cried out in disbelief.

This is because, within Hua Rong's "Flower Moon" Dao Fruit, a magnificent building, resembling a jade palace, vaguely appeared, with upturned eaves and icy carvings, exuding endless chill.

It is the Guanghan Palace, one of the "Thirty-Six Palaces" of the Heavenly Court!

"It seems the legend is true; the Flower Legion Commander once received the inheritance of the Moon Palace!"

Everyone knows that Hua Rong, as a veteran of the Qianxia Dynasty, is deeply trusted by the "Xia Immortal Emperor". He has not only made outstanding contributions and received various rewards, but also had the good fortune to obtain a part of the inheritance of the "Guanghan Palace" while leading the team to explore the "Ruins of the First Immortal Court of the Human Race".

It should be noted that the true master of the Moon Palace is not Chang'e, but a former top-level true god named Xihe, who is also the controller of the innate spiritual root "Osmanthus Tree".

Now, Hua Rong has directly summoned the "Projection of the Moon Palace," which means that he has obtained the inheritance of that true god!

"Buzz!"

The bright, clear moon in the sky reflected the moonlight flowing from the Moon Well, each ray of moonlight refracted by the countless water droplets splashing up from the well...

To humans, this scene was breathtakingly beautiful, like a fairyland.

However, for that quasi-god level insectoid that had just arrived here, it was a deadly crisis.

With the blessing of Hua Rongdao's power, the moonlight first became ethereal, then penetrated the black mist on the outer layer of the insect swarm, reaching its core.

Then, suddenly, the illusion became reality, and the bright light, like billions of ice blades, illuminated every corner of the entire insect swarm!
"Buzz!"

A massive amount of cold air instantly spread, causing the temperature between heaven and earth to plummet by trillions of degrees.

A layer of crystalline ice crystals condensed on the bodies of these billions of insectoids, and even the light of the "black moon" in the void was frozen.

The sharp chirping of the "quasi-true divine insect swarm" suddenly stopped.

Then, to everyone's astonishment...

Hua Rong held the bow in his left hand and slowly pulled the string with his right.

An arrow formed from a wisp of moonlight instantly coalesced on the bowstring.

The arrows were crystal clear, like ice sculptures and jade carvings, with a chilling killing intent emanating from their arrowheads, pointing directly at the "quasi-true god insect swarm" in the sky.

The power of the Quasi-True God, the power inherited from the Guanghan Palace, and the Yin power of the Osmanthus Tree perfectly merged to form a powerful force that made the entire sky tremble and feel a sense of "threat".

It suddenly flew towards the "Dao Fruit" above the heads of the slow-moving "quasi-true divine insect swarm"!
"Crack!"

It's like a comet hitting the moon.

This arrow swiftly tore apart the body of the quasi-true god insect swarm, and its freezing power frantically eroded the foundation of its Dao Fruit.

In the end, the entire swarm of insects, along with the Black Moon Dao Fruit, was completely reduced to countless shattered ice crystals. Billions of insects melted away under the moonlight, disappearing without a trace!
"this?"

"I didn't see wrong, did I? Commander Hua, you actually wiped out this 'quasi-true god' level swarm of insects so easily!"

"Commander Hua's strength has actually reached such a level, it's terrifying!"

The crowd gasped in astonishment, their eyes filled with awe and shock.

This is because, although the individual strength of the Zerg is at the bottom among the many supreme races, their "accumulation of small things" characteristic is enough to allow them to quickly accumulate "god-level" combat power!

Although it's at the bottom of its class, it's not so easy to deal with.

However, Hua Rong is now incredibly powerful, instantly annihilating the swarm of insects that had just destroyed a "dynasty of destiny"!

Such power, even if placed in the myriad realms, would be enough to make the gods take notice.

"Hmph, anyone who dares to lay a hand on me, Qianxia, ​​is no different from this scoundrel!"

Moonlight streamed down as Hua Rong, clad in silver armor, stood atop "Silver Moon City," his gaze filled with provocation as he stared directly at the figures in the sky.
He merged his own power as a quasi-true god with the power of the Guanghan Palace, a former true god kingdom, making his combat strength far surpass that of ordinary "quasi-true gods"!
However, the fall of the Zerg leader at the "quasi-god" level seems to have angered the Overmind behind him—

squeak--!
Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, accompanied by the chirping of countless insects. The sound waves, like tangible blades, tore through the sky.

An extremely terrifying aura of a "true god" swept in, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, unstoppable!
The sheer power of this aura caused the entire Silver Moon City to tremble violently. The city walls cracked, the ground collapsed, and even the stars in the sky trembled slightly under the crushing force of this aura, their light dimming. The dragon veins beneath the earth trembled as if they were about to be crushed by this power!

A jet-black fog gathered from the horizon, blotting out the sun and shrouding the entire Silvermoon City in darkness. Within the fog, countless insect shadows darted about, emitting a nauseating, putrid stench!
A gigantic, centipede-like, insectoid god with a hundred legs and a hundred eyes slowly emerged. Its hundred compound eyes gleamed with a scarlet light, radiating an aura of annihilation. The surrounding void twisted and shattered under the crushing force of its aura, and countless spatial rifts spread like a spider web...

"Oh no! What's wrong with my body? My arms have turned into arthropods!"

"My voice, I can't make a sound... My body is so itchy, it feels like bugs are crawling out of my body!"

Upon seeing this "Hundred-Eyed Centipede," the surging Daoist aura emanating from it spread outwards.

Within the city of Qianxia, ​​many residents have undergone a transformation into insect-like forms.

Their skin began to harden and turn black, their limbs twisted into arthropod shapes, their eyes turned blood red, and they lost their minds, frantically lunging at those around them; some of the weaker beings even turned into "insects" on the spot, roaring and trying to break through the great formation and join the ranks of the insect god's avatar.

This is the "Taoist Rhyme" of the true God, which contains the power of rules that can directly rewrite the destiny of living beings.

Even if it only leaks out, it can cause ordinary people to "mutate" at the physical and even spiritual level... "The Great Wall of Humanity, united as one!"

At the critical moment, a phantom "Human Great Wall" suddenly appeared around the city, with green bricks and gray tiles, towering majestically and stretching for thousands of miles, firmly protecting the entire Silvermoon City.

Above the city, countless phantom images of heroic spirits appeared, holding weapons, glaring angrily, and exuding an indomitable will!
This "national treasure" from the Qianxia era is now a truly "top-tier divine artifact".

Its characteristic of "united will" is that it can gather the will of the entire city and form an indestructible barrier to resist all external invasion!

It should be noted that the number of soldiers regularly stationed in this border city is only one squad, a mere hundred!

However, this does not mean that the "combatants" of this city are only like that.

In fact, after being promoted to the Immortal Dynasty of Destiny, the upper limit of all the people of Qianxia has been unlocked to "transcendent"!
In theory, as long as one has sufficient cultivation resources, any citizen of Qianxia can reach the extraordinary level.

In the present-day Qianxia, ​​even the worst low-level city has a dragon vein nearby that can be found using the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" or formed by the "Nine Cauldrons of the Nine Provinces"!
It can be said that anyone who lives there can easily reach the fifth level of the Transcendent Realm or above.

This border town may only have a population of over ten thousand, but it boasts a five-figure number of extraordinary beings!

In particular, many of them were elven rangers, human chivalrous heroes, or bounty hunters of other races who came to the border in search of missions!

In such a life-or-death crisis, one should naturally do everything in one's power.

The immense power of fighting spirit converged and surged into the phantom of the Great Wall of humanity like a torrent, making the Great Wall's light even more dazzling and the barrier even more solid!

Instantly, the city's "grand formation" accelerated its operation, merging with the illusory image of the human Great Wall to form a towering, semi-transparent wall a thousand feet high, blocking this terrifying "insect-transformed Daoist aura".

Otherwise, the mere dissipation of Daoist energy would be enough to completely destroy the entire "Silver Moon City," turning its 100,000 human and elven inhabitants into a "nest" that breeds insectoids!
"Oh no...this is..."

but,

As the core, Hua Rong, who was the first to be affected, naturally suffered an even greater impact.

Black spots began to appear on his skin, and there were faint signs of arthropodization on his fingertips. He felt a sharp pain in his soul, as if countless insects were gnawing at his soul, trying to completely assimilate his will!

"Hmph, you audacious wretch, how dare you act so presumptuously before my human city!"

With a furious roar, Hua Rong's Silver Moon Dao Fruit shone brightly above his head, and the Daoist aura of the Guanghan Palace swept over his entire body, freezing and dissolving the insect-transforming power that had invaded his body!
Om-!
Above the heavens, the "Hundred-Eyed Centipede," representing the incarnation of the Zerg's true god, emanated a chilling and piercing wave of will.

Clearly, they were extremely dissatisfied with the human resistance.

The next moment, an eye on its head suddenly opened and shot a jet-black beam of light containing destructive power at Hua Rong.

Wherever it passed, the void was instantly annihilated, leaving behind a pitch-black trail.

Although they hadn't gotten close yet, the aura that seemed to obliterate everything was already causing Hua Rong's "Flower Moon Dao Fruit" to tremble violently.

This is a power that surpasses the level of ordinary "quasi-true gods". It is the manifestation of "true god power" and is enough to annihilate ordinary quasi-true gods. Even though Hua Rong's combat power is far superior to that of others of the same level, he cannot resist it by relying solely on his own power!
"Buzz!"

However, Hua Rong was not alarmed.

The Silver Moon Dao Fruit above his head suddenly surged, transforming into a bright moon ten thousand feet long, enveloping the entire world. The "Guanghan Palace" within the moon reappeared, its form transforming from illusory to real, and a true "palace" descended!
Endless icy energy surged from the palace, colliding with the black beam of light.

Surprisingly, they froze the latter and then pulverized it!

"Ok?"

Such a powerful attack was actually blocked by a mere "quasi-god," which undoubtedly surprised the Zerg god's avatar.

Because even though it is just an avatar, its power is enough to resonate with the "true god's body" in the sky!
Such an attack, in a sense, has exceeded the limits of a clone. Logically speaking, the opponent should have had their Dao fruit shattered on the spot, their soul destroyed, and turned into ashes.

However, the other party actually blocked it and wasn't even hurt!

Realizing that the human race was not as easy to defeat as imagined, the Zerg God's avatar's killing intent grew stronger, the black aura around it became more intense, and the scarlet light in its hundred compound eyes surged. An even more terrifying aura swept across the heavens and earth, causing the void to tremble violently, as if it were about to return to chaos!

The next moment, one compound eye after another on its body opened at the same time, and a jet-black beam of destructive light shot out from each eye, which converged and transformed into a world-destroying black dragon that was tens of thousands of miles long.

The black dragon was surrounded by endless insect shadows, exuding an aura of destruction and carrying the power to devour heaven and earth, as it pounced towards Hua Rong!

Without a doubt, compared to the previous casual strikes, this one carried genuine killing intent.

Even with the cultivation of a quasi-true god at its peak, a slight misstep could result in complete annihilation by this attack, with both soul and spirit destroyed, never to be reborn!
"Stop them!"

Hua Rong let out a low shout, pushing his quasi-true god power to its limit, and suddenly pulled back the "war bow" in his hand.

The latter shone with boundless golden light.

This is no ordinary bow. Its material is a core branch of the Osmanthus Tree, an innate spiritual root representing the "power of Taiyin". After being nurtured for ten thousand years, it contains a rich Taiyin power at the level of a true god!
hum!
A phantom image of a towering osmanthus tree, its trunk so thick it would take millions of people to encircle it, its branches and leaves spreading out to cover the vast sky.

Golden osmanthus blossoms fell from the branches and leaves, fluttering down and blocking the path of the world-destroying black dragon!

The osmanthus tree itself belongs to the level of "innate spiritual root". Now that the world has been strengthened and the spiritual energy has become more abundant, the power of this spiritual root has naturally been further manifested.

Even a projection possesses the power to contend with the incarnation of a true god!
boom--!
The moment the world-destroying black dragon collided with the osmanthus rain, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and countless energy shockwaves swept outwards.

The silver moon in the sky trembled, the water in the Moon Well boiled violently, the great array of Silver Moon City shook violently, and countless array patterns flickered; the distant mountains were leveled by the shock wave, the earth cracked, and bottomless ravines spread for thousands of miles, and countless insectoids hidden underground were instantly annihilated!
Although the attack caused even tiny cracks to appear on Hua Rongdao's fruit, his body was also bent under the pressure of the aura, and the moonlight power around him was violently fluctuating and almost dissipating!

However, Hua Rong, the "legion commander" of Qianxia, ​​still managed to intercept the fatal blow from the "Zerg God Avatar"!

"Humanity's top expert... is even more powerful than expected, actually blocking the true god's incarnation!"

In Silvermoon City, the elven residents were dumbfounded.

After nine hundred years of recuperation and development, and with the active expansion of the Qianxia Dynasty, its overall strength has become terrifyingly powerful.

The total population of the Qianxia Dynasty exceeded 100 trillion, and the number of military personnel alone reached over 1 trillion!
Note that these trillion soldiers refer to the "regular army" of the Qianxia dynasty.

Every regular soldier possesses "Saint Realm" cultivation, and one out of every hundred is a "Squad Leader" with "Demigod" level cultivation! Following them are the "Battalion Commanders" who command more than ten thousand soldiers, all of whom possess "Divine" level cultivation and are qualified to be listed in the first level of Qianxia's "Investiture of the Gods"!

Commanding more than 100,000 soldiers is called "Military Lord," and in the "Investiture of the Gods" of Qianxia, ​​it is the second level of "Top God." Commanding a million soldiers is called "Great Military Lord," and its status is equivalent to the third level of "Supreme God."
At the corps commander level, the number of troops under their command is already in the hundreds of millions.

From the perspective of troop strength alone, the combat power of a single legion of Qianxia is actually no less than that of an "ordinary divine court"!

In Qianxia's "divine position" sequence, the legion commander belongs to the "fourth heaven" and his status is no less than that of any "quasi-true god"!

In this way, they would naturally have the confidence to confront the gods.

"Hmph, so what if it's an incarnation of a true god? Even if its true form were to appear in person, this legion commander would have no fear... This 'Divine Osmanthus' in my hand needs the blood and souls of alien races as nourishment!"

Hua Rong stood beneath a towering osmanthus tree, surrounded by moonlight. His blood surged, yet his posture remained upright. He slowly raised his battle bow, pointing it directly at the "true god's incarnation" that loomed over the sky outside the city. His fearless, god-slaying aura soared to the heavens! (End of Chapter)
