Become the Emperor of Man by starting from the Qiyun entry

Chapter 738 The final battle begins; the Demon Saint unleashes his eighteen martial arts skills, which Chu Wujiang counters one by one.
The human army, after six hundred years, once again invaded the heart of the royal court and engaged in a decisive battle with the demon alliance.

Everyone was looking forward to this great battle.

The demon believed it had the upper hand.

The royal court assembled two complete field armies and summoned all the tribal strongmen from the grasslands. It wasn't that these people particularly admired Bai Ge, but rather that Bai Ge had told them—

If we can't win, the grassland will be destroyed.

The demons mobilized a full 100 million elite demon warriors, plus 50 reserves, totaling as many as 150 million.

Secondly, there is the Demon Saint's Blood Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, which also formed two field armies: the Snake-Man Legion and the Mixed Legion, totaling 1 million elite warriors, plus 500,000 reserves.

Under these circumstances, the Dayong Dynasty provided support to 50 human warriors as a reserve force.

The demon alliance can directly mobilize more than 350 million troops.

The main force has 200 million troops, while the reserve force is smaller, around 150 million. If the reserve force in a broader sense is included, the number can be increased considerably.

On the human side, three field armies have been deployed, with 150 million elite soldiers, which appears to be far fewer than the demon alliance.

However, the human race has a larger number of auxiliary units, with 750 million.

The two combined total 900 million.

In other words, the human army numbered 900 million, while the demon alliance numbered 350 million.

Both sides felt that the advantage lay with them.

Huo Qiushui even said with some delight:

“My husband, there are more and more martial artists and scions of noble families coming to join us now.”

"This greatly enhances the combat effectiveness of auxiliary soldiers."

“Both the Prince of Jin’s and the Prince of Han’s residences have sent their elite servants to assist the auxiliary troops in battle.”

After Emperor Hao unified the country, the human race maintained a relatively peaceful life for six hundred years, accumulating a large number of warriors.

These martial artists gathered under the banners of various sects and powerful figures.

Chu Wujiang subdued many forces, including the three great martial arts holy lands. Their orders were passed down and, in conjunction with the enfeoffment of kings in various places, a large number of new combat forces could always be drawn out.

These new combat forces are constantly being deployed from the rear to the front lines.

Obviously, they couldn't join the field army directly because they arrived too late.

However, they can join the auxiliary troops and become key members of the auxiliary troops, possessing at least extremely strong individual combat capabilities.

A smile appeared on Chu Wujiang's face as he said:

"What you say is very true, my lady."

"The combined forces in this battle are 900 million to 350 million, plus the Tian Ce Army will come to support us."

"The advantage is mine."

Huo Qiushui quickly said:
"You can't say that."

Chu Wujiang laughed loudly:

"It's alright, there are no such taboos."

"Let's see how strong the demon alliance really is."

"Your Highness, it's up to you now."

"I entrust you with the ultimate command authority in battle, including the application of military spirit."

The King of Qin bowed solemnly and said:

"Your subject will certainly not fail in his mission!"

Chu Wujiang doesn't need to prove himself in military command; his ability to kill a Heavenly Fate Realm expert makes him the supreme emperor.

He only needed the human alliance to hold off the demon alliance as long as possible, preventing their demonic souls from taking effect, and then the remaining experts would eliminate the demon alliance.

This is enough.

Chu Wujiang nodded in satisfaction:

"Everything is entrusted to His Highness, the King of Qin."

"Do you have any objections?"

Huo Qiushui, representing Chu Wujiang's will and leading the army, naturally wouldn't compete with the King of Qin for command, and quickly said:

"We are very reassured by His Highness the King of Qin's command."

Chu Wujiang looked at Di Jiahe.

As the former crown prince, Di Jiahe no longer cared about such benefits and immediately said:
"As long as Brother King Qin can guarantee the interests of the Heavenly Mandate Army."

"This time, when commanding the army, my younger brother is willing to give up the entire Heavenly Mandate Army."

what?
This startled the King of Qin. Chu Wujiang said in a deep voice:

"His Royal Highness!"

"We'll talk about everything after the war is over."

"The soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army trust you; how can you give up halfway!"

Unexpectedly, Di Jiahe smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, I am no longer the Crown Prince, nor am I going to give up halfway."

"It's just about having more important things to do."

You still haven't forgotten the death of Prince Yusheng.

At this moment, the King of Qin came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"Jiahe, Yusheng is also my younger brother."

"You want revenge, and so do I."

Therefore, you should not face a powerful enemy alone.

Di Jiahe never expected that his former elder brother would show such a side of himself when there was no need to fight for the throne.

He whispered:
"If I don't do this, I will never be able to escape this shadow for the rest of my life."

"Please, elder brother, Your Majesty, grant my request."

Chu Wujiang could have taken the Heavenly Destiny Dragon Sword, but he left it in Di Jiahe's hands because he anticipated that the other party would make a great contribution.

The problem is, now Bai Ge might turn against us, so should we make Di Jiahe risk his life?

Chu Wujiang immediately replied:
"no problem."

The King of Qin couldn't help but shout:
"Your Majesty, how can we agree to this!"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is also someone I trust. It would be unwise to force him to remain in the army to command.

"As for the army's obedience to command, I have long been prepared."

"Consort Zhao!"

Chu Wujiang then called out, and Consort Lu hurriedly opened the box and took out scrolls, which depicted Huo Qiushui, the King of Qin, and the Crown Prince.

what is this?
Everyone stared at Chu Wujiang in astonishment.

Chu Wujiang laughed:
"These are all masks painted by me."

"Try picking them up."

Painted skin?

The King of Qin had a sudden thought, and then he realized that he himself had stepped out of the scroll.

This is!

Everyone looked surprised; they had seen many famous paintings, but this was the first time they had ever seen such a treasure.

The painted-skin Qin King looked exactly the same as the real one; it was nothing short of a miracle.

Chu Wujiang added:

"The demon alliance is extremely powerful; we must not underestimate our opponents."

"My intention in creating these paintings was to serve as substitutes, so that most commanders could have an assistant who could replace their opponents even if they were not strong in combat."

"Jiahe wants to kill Bai Ge, but also needs to control the army, so this scroll will do."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Di Jiahe said excitedly:

"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Grace and all that, it doesn't matter."

"But Jiahe, you must ensure your own safety."

"this is for you."

Although Chu Wujiang had recently been drinking and reciting poetry with Bai Ge, it did not mean that Chu Wujiang would believe Bai Ge or that he would actually betray the Great Yong Dynasty and kill its Heavenly Mandate.

Always be prepared for two possibilities.

It's possible that Bai Ge's actions were merely intended to lull Chu Wujiang into a false sense of security.

Therefore, Chu Wujiang instructed Di Jiahe to prepare for battle on all fronts and planted the idea of ​​a god within him.

If danger arises, Chu Wujiang can lend a hand.

He did not want the Crown Prince or the King of Qin to die in this battle, even though they were the biggest competitors for the throne.

However, with Chu Wujiang's strength, there is no need to worry.

Rather, if Chu Wujiang were truly in trouble, these two, if they were still alive, would be able to shoulder the burden of the human race.

Di Jiahe was extremely grateful and bowed again, saying:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Chu Wujiang said loudly:
"This great battle far surpasses the battle in which Nangong Wang breached the royal court in the past."

"Since the time of the Human Emperor, such a great war has never occurred on this land."

"The fate of humanity rests on this moment; I urge you all to strive for it."

King Qin, Huo Qiushui, Abbot Puji, Sect Master Qingyuan, and others shouted in unison:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The human army was riding high, with vanguard units launching fierce attacks on the demon alliance.

The battlefield alone spanned over 800 kilometers, which, in my previous life, would have stretched across several provinces, allowing me to command the battle.

Those without the cultivation of the primordial spirit are simply incapable of commanding such a battle.

The sheer volume of messages coming in every minute is enough to drive anyone crazy.

The King of Qin did not collapse. In the past, when he commanded the Tianyou Army, he had more than two million troops, which was only a few times more.

There is pressure, but not too much.

The King of Qin activated his divine form, and a huge sand table appeared before him.

The soldiers of Tianyou Army were all his eyes.

If the King of Qin can unleash a domain-level killing move through the Heavenly Blessed Army, he can naturally also use the Heavenly Blessed Army to control the overall battlefield.

As far as the eye could see, there were only people and demons.

The horizon is not a line, but a wall made of life, constantly wriggling and colliding.

The role of the King of Qin was to build the walls of the human race and then push the demons back.

"Heavenly Guard Army, heed my command!"

"Central Army, Xiao Pojun's troops, advance two hundred paces!"

"The front-line heavy shield soldiers form the 'Immovable Mountain' formation, using the shield wall to compress the enemy's formation and create space for the rear."

"The sharpshooter is switching to free-firing. Target: the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons in the enemy's center formation. We must prevent the demonic energy from forming a continuous mass!"

"Left wing, General Qi Hanfeng, you are under the most pressure."

"The demon race's snake-man troops are releasing poison gas to attack your flank."

"Don't fight head-on! I order your unit to retreat in shifts, using space to allow the poison gas to dissipate, and drag those stupid snake-men into our pre-set 'trap zone'!"

"And to the auxiliary soldiers, your chance to prove yourselves has come!"

……

The King of Qin's orders were like bullets, pouring out relentlessly.

He was adjusting and commanding the legion's operations, hunting down the demon alliance in the most efficient and valuable way.

Every minute, countless soldiers die.

Whether it's the demon race, the monster race, or the human race.

Neither side has yet deployed their military forces; they are merely conducting the first round of probing, keeping a large reserve force in reserve and not yet committing it to the battlefield.

In just that short time, the battle resulted in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of people.

A real meat grinder.

"emission!"

Huo Qiushui personally went to the front line, leading the elite of the Hero Army to protect the archers and various battlefield weapons such as the Dragon-Slaying Crossbow.

Hundreds of Dragon-Slaying Crossbows roared in an instant.

The whole world trembled.

The level 9 Dragon-Slaying Arrows, the highest-level battlefield weapon, were unleashed as if they were free.

Each Dragon-Slaying Arrow would take away a powerful demon at the Yuan Dan level, or even the Yuan Ling level.

Life is as insignificant as grass.

The prodigies, young geniuses, Yuan Dan experts, and Yuan Ling powerhouses who originally held extremely high positions in their respective clans were killed directly like cannon fodder.

"What a brutal battle."

"Will new flowers bloom on the Death Plains after this battle?"

Zhao Shanhu gazed at the front line and murmured to herself.

She originally joined the battlefield to claim a reward and to find the blood-soaked Cinnabar Flower.

This special flower only blooms on the most brutal and bloody battlefields.

While observing the battlefield from the rear, she was surprised to find that even on the blood-soaked grasslands of death, crimson flowers were quietly blooming.

What a brutal war.

The large number of deaths occurred even before either side had committed their main forces.

The King of Qin was ruthless.

He not only commanded the various legions, but also sent out auxiliary troops. The reason was simple: to weaken the enemy's manpower as much as possible.

These excellent auxiliary soldiers can help the main force expend more of the demon alliance's power, which is a win-win situation.

For the human race, exchanging one auxiliary soldier for one demon warrior is a huge win.

The King of Qin is using his overwhelming military strength to try to pressure the demon alliance and force the enemy to create an opening.

Such a battle would naturally be incredibly bloody.

The human army surged in like a tidal wave.

Too much.

But the demon alliance had nowhere to retreat, and they would use the unique aura of the Death Plains to wage a desperate battle.

As soon as the battle began, the stench of blood filled the sky above the grassland. Even the vultures, which love carrion, dared not fly over and could only stay far away from the smell.

At this point, the morale of the demon alliance began to waver slightly.

Humanity's battlefield weapons were unleashed in full force. Before the demon-alliance general could even see who the enemy was, a single Dragon-Slaying Arrow claimed his life.

There has never been a war like this before.

"Get out of the way!"

"Be careful, the humans are coming."

The demon alliance had no intention of surrendering, but the brutal fighting made them begin to doubt the purpose of the battle.

Why not use the spirit of the army? Why not activate the destiny?

Morale has been slightly damaged.

They only recently received the blessing of the demonic dragon, yet they remain steadfast in guarding the front lines, engaging in the most primitive and brutal battles against the human race.

The commanders behind both sides were testing how to defeat their opponent through the first round of combat.

They were holding back their trump cards, each harboring the ambition to overtake the other by striking later.

At this moment, the Demon Saint made the first move, saying loudly:
"The troops of the Four Seas Dragon Palace have already set off."

"They will attack human territory from the coastal areas, causing humans to be overwhelmed."

"The human race has launched such a massive war, which will surely leave it vulnerable internally. As long as we kill as many enemies as possible, we will definitely cause internal strife among the human race."

"We don't need to annihilate the entire human army; we can still achieve victory by severely damaging them."

"The human race has now fallen into the trap!"

"Final victory will surely belong to us!"

"Look, the Demon Rain has returned."

The demon saint manipulated the surrounding weather, bringing a touch of coolness to the originally scorching heat, followed by a light drizzle.

These rains are the magic rain.

The raindrops fell on the humans, causing a certain degree of corrosion.

The armor will be damaged, and the vital energy will be eroded.

The Demon Saint had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

If one cultivates the Xiangliu bloodline to its peak, one will naturally possess the Great Dao of Water.

Even on the grasslands, it found its purpose: to control the magic rain.

Before the rainy season ended, the Demon Saint, apart from cultivating the power of the Heavenly Fate Realm, was not as active as Bai Ge; one could even say he was somewhat invisible.

It went into hiding to inflict a massive blow.

Now is the chance.

The Blood Cave of Ten Thousand Demons absorbed a large amount of demonic rain, enabling it to cause torrential rain to fall on the grassland at crucial moments.

These demonic rains are an important energy source for the demon race, but they cause immense harm to human warriors.

The demons began to cheer:

"Long live your Majesty!"

Originally, these demonic allies were already quite powerful due to the blessing of demonic fortune, and now with the blessing of demonic rain, victory seemed to be within their grasp.

The human race will be ambushed, and victory will be achieved here.

perfect.

Unfortunately, the demonic rain had barely begun to fall when the demonic alliance heard Chu Wujiang's mocking voice:
"Demon Saint, you've really gotten old."

"This little bit of rainwater is of no use to me now."

"Bashe, swallow them all!"

Originally, Chu Wujiang summoned the Bashe Dharma Form and used the ability of "Heaven and Earth Manifestation" to prevent the human army from being affected by the strong winds, thus maintaining a balance of power between the two sides.

I never expected the Demon Saint to come up with the Demon Rain trick.

However, Chu Wujiang had already utilized the time-delay array to create a large number of demonic seeds, which he gave to the officers to use, to protect the human army from the harm of demonic energy.

He can also control the Bashe (a type of snake) and unleash a storm of demonic rain.

The colossal Bashe, with its gaping maw, used a siphoning tactic to suck the demonic rain from the sky into its belly.

The human soldiers erupted in an astonishing cheer:

"Long live!"

"Long live your Majesty!!"

The demon alliance had finally gained some momentum, but instantly suffered an even more severe blow.

Chu Wujiang then activated the power of the [Verse of All Beings] and addressed the demonic alliance:
"This Bashe was once the king of demons, and it is the successor to the Demon Saint designated by the Demon Emperor."

"In comparison, Xiang Liu is nothing more than a schemer who usurped the throne."

"All demon race people, look closely at the appearance of the Bashe. The true demon saint has already joined the human race."

"Those who surrender will be spared! Demon soldiers, leave the battlefield immediately!"

Chu Wujiang's words possess the power to enlighten, and now he is unleashing all his power in order to dismantle the demon race's ability to resist.

The demon race is wavering, and there are signs of retreat in the demon race's defenses.

The Bashe snake also possesses a noble bloodline.

Its current manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth further proves that it possesses the noblest and purest bloodline.

A large amount of rainwater entered the belly of the serpent, making it unshakeable.

The rain stopped.

But the Demon Saint remained calm and addressed the demon soldiers:
"My warriors, do not listen to the enemy's nonsense."

"The ancient Bashe kept devouring its fellow demons, and it was only through the united efforts of the demon tribes that it was finally defeated."

"The enemy has now fallen for my trick."

The demon soldiers were greatly surprised. The demon rain had clearly disappeared, so why did His Majesty the Demon Saint say that the enemy had fallen into a trap?

The Demon Saint sneered:
"You're the one who doesn't understand the situation, Chu Wujiang!"

"My demonic rain was prepared just for you."

"Good swallow!"

"Of all the beautiful women in the world, just enjoy them to the fullest."

Chu Wujiang cultivated the Bashe Dharma Form, which also possessed the ability to manifest the heavens and the earth. It was a nightmare for the demon alliance, meaning that their most important means had been abolished by Chu Wujiang.

The demon saint wasn't stupid; it quickly came up with a solution.

Lure your opponent into swallowing the Demon Cloud, then activate the Weak Water within the Demon Cloud through the Great Path of Water to destroy the Bashe Dharma Form.

The Great Way of Water—Three Thousand Weak Waters!
As the saying goes: "Of all the waters in the world, not even a feather can float on them!"
In ancient times, the water that Xiang Liu controlled was not ordinary water, but weak water, the water of doomsday.

Although some scholars have extended the story to say that when a man faces love, he will only choose one from among many, this is not the original meaning of "weak water".

Weak water refers to very weak water that cannot support any ship. Anything that enters weak water will be swallowed up and unable to breathe.

Buddhist prophecies about a flood destroying the world are also related to this Weak Water.

Everything will sink to the bottom of the water.

The Demon Saint cannot appear in person, but it will descend upon the Demon King's body, manipulating the Great Dao of Water in an attempt to destroy the Bashe.

Bashe indeed showed a pained expression.

Who would have thought that the Great Dao of Water could have such a use? Relying on the power of the Great Dao, Xiang Liu seems poised to turn defeat into victory.

The monsters started cheering again.

With a simple trick, Your Majesty will severely damage the human race's Bashe.

Good trick!
Chu Wujiang couldn't help but admire him; he was indeed a formidable and troublesome figure.

The most terrifying thing about the Weak Water is that it isolates all external forces.

Unable to breathe, unable to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth, or demonic energy, it was as if they had entered a dead end, and ultimately died.

This is the Weak Water, the most terrifying aspect of the Great Way of Water.

If the Bashe possessed the power to devour the heavens and the earth, or if it were the Bashe Cave Heaven, it would have been able to deal with the Weak Water. However, Chu Wujiang chose to follow the laws of heaven and earth.

This will cause the snake to collapse in pain, temporarily unable to fight.

The demon alliance can then use the strong winds to launch a counterattack against the human race.

But Chu Wujiang remained calm.

He is not afraid of playing tricks on the enemy; no matter how many tricks you have, I have just as many methods.

Break the seal.

Everything returns to nothingness!

A sinister smile appeared on Chu Wujiang's face. He transferred the power of the Return of All Things to Nothingness to the Bashe Dharma Image, and then opened the seal.

Boom!
It was as if a black hole had opened inside the belly of the Bashe, a black hole connected to the deepest part of the universe. Chu Wujiang unceremoniously threw all the Weak Water into it.

not good!

The Bashe snake revived on the spot.

However, the Return of All Things to Nothingness was too dangerous, so Chu Wujiang sealed it away again, not giving it the chance to continue devouring.

After doing all this, Chu Wujiang sneered:

"Now it's proven which one is the true Demon Saint."

“People of the demon race, your demon saint is fake, that’s why you can’t defeat the human race.”

The Demon Saint roared in fury:

"nonsense!"

"Don't listen to him."

"Humanity is now in crisis and will soon be overwhelmed by traitors."

Chu Wujiang couldn't help but laugh:

"is it?"

"Demon Saint, Pope, why don't you take a look at the situation before you!"

Large screens appeared in Chu Wujiang's hands, recording cases of how the Human Emperor Temple's attempts to subvert the human race's forces ended in disastrous failure.

The Pope has been operating a spy network behind the scenes, attempting to incite factions within the human race, while the royal family, the Imperial Observatory, and the Six Doors are waging war in the shadows.

Ambitious individuals among the human race, whether they were kings from various regions, leaders of sects, or even powerful clans, all received invitations from the Temple of the Human Emperor.

Countless eloquent persuaders attempted to convince ambitious individuals in various regions to seize the opportunity amidst the chaos and disrupt humanity's internal plans.

This approach cannot be said to be ineffective.

But the emergence of newspapers temporarily halted the actions of ambitious individuals in various regions.

Chu Wujiang led the human race on expeditions, achieving victory after victory.

Ambitious people are ambitious, but they are not stupid.

Yang Guang's three campaigns against Goguryeo were also due to his reckless abandonment of troops, resulting in heavy losses, which allowed ambitious individuals to seize the opportunity to rise up.

Now, ambitious people are looking at the newspapers, watching one after another Heavenly Fate Realm expert being killed by Chu Wujiang.

If they had any sense, they wouldn't have made a move at this juncture.

Even though the envoys from the Temple of the Human Emperor spoke eloquently, and golden lotuses sprang from the ground, the kings of various regions merely responded with cold laughter. Some even detained the envoys, waiting for the outcome of the great war.

The ambitious humans have only one request.

You must defeat Chu Wujiang first, then we can seize the opportunity to rise up, disrupt the situation, and divide the world.

The problem is, for the Temple of the Human Emperor...

You must first rebel so that we can defeat Chu Wujiang on the Death Grassland.

This is really embarrassing.

You need to win first.

No, you must first rebel.

The strategists of the Human Emperor Temple did their best, risking their lives to contact various sects, the imperial family, and even rebel groups, but their efforts yielded only meager results.

Even the rebels who had already revolted, such as the Smiling Buddha [Wang Fo'er] and the [Unsuccessful Scholar] Rainbow King, were not interested in the proposal of the Human Emperor Temple.

The Smiling Buddha King Buddha's son sneered:
"Amitabha!"

"Buddha isn't stupid. As the saying goes, murder and arson are ways to seek amnesty."

"Now that the main army has set out to the border, does the imperial court still have a few field armies to suppress the domestic rebellion at any time?"

"If the Buddha causes trouble at this time, wouldn't he be jumping out and getting beaten up?"

"Guards! Cut off the head of this enemy of the Buddha at the Human Emperor Temple and send it to the yamen."

Wang Fo'er always had a smile on his face, but once he lost his smile, he would kill someone, which terrified everyone.

Everyone quickly replied:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Fo'er laughed:
"Nobody wants to fight the imperial court to the bitter end."

"If it's good enough, let's surrender and get a good job."

“This humble monk is not Zhang Daocheng, and will not lead you to a dead end.”

The generals of the Green Banner Army were overjoyed and quickly said:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Fu'er smiled and said:

"Everyone is risking their lives to work, always for a better future."

"Buddha will understand."

A major traitor like Wang Fo'er reads the newspaper every day, and seeing Chu Wujiang's successive victories makes his mind active.

The envoys sent by the Temple of the Human Emperor are all excellent pledges of loyalty; they cannot be wasted.

The imperial court needs to know that it is loyal and considerate of the overall situation.

It wasn't that Wang Fo'er didn't want to become a true dragon and the emperor of Buddhism, but rather that he felt Chu Wujiang was the true dragon.

If he is not the real dragon, then who is?

If Chu Wujiang suffers no defeats in the Northern Expedition, he may very well become the ruler of the world. Ambitious people do not want to touch the true dragon.

Especially since the other party could sever destiny with their primordial spirit, even with good fortune and the blessing of Buddhist lineage, Wang Fo'er was unwilling to touch them.

The Pope knew, and so did the Demon Saint.

They could only tell the demon alliance that humanity was facing a major crisis.

Unexpectedly, Chu Wujiang was so well-prepared that he even recorded the scene of Wang Fo'er and others executing the Emperor Temple, and then played it on the battlefield for other soldiers to see.

Are you trying to turn them into defectors?

Chu Wujiang also has it.

Before the Demon Saint could say anything, the scene changed again.

Everything returned to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas.

The Monkey King and the Dragon King of the East Sea shouted in unison:

"We have been human beings for a long time."

"It is impossible for the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to attack human territory."

There was a boom.

The Demon Saint's face turned deathly pale!
