Qin Renhuang just became an immortal, and you told me this is the prehistoric time

Chapter 684 The Myriad Soul Banner Breaks Through the Heavenly Tribulation!

He raised his head, his gaze resolute.

"Therefore, this old minister humbly requests Your Majesty to grant my army three days! Allow the soldiers to recover their spirits and heal their wounds."

For the next three days, the enemy can be continuously harassed with ranged weapons such as crossbows. After three days, all soldiers who have broken through to the new level will be reorganized and then thrown into the final battle!

He pointed to the goblins below the city wall, whose auras were noticeably stronger, and explained.

"Your Majesty is wise. Those who can still emerge from the stone gate and rush to the front lines are almost all at the first level of life. Ordinary crossbow bolts can hardly break through their defenses. Only our soldiers, who have also reached the first level of life, can be effectively killed."

Upon hearing this, Ying Shaoyang's gaze was not limited to the military, but swept over the group of figures behind him with different auras—the palace maids and eunuchs who had been brought by Lü Zhi and others and who had cultivated special techniques, the Jinyiwei and Dongchang experts who stood at attention and were waiting for orders, as well as the Taoist priest with an otherworldly air and the peerless Qingqiu fox demon.

"General Wang's concerns are reasonable. However, clearing out these monsters is not entirely the responsibility of the military."

Ying Shaoyang's tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

"Now that you have broken through to the first level of life, you no longer need to restrain yourselves and may attack freely."

The words had barely left his mouth!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"

Dozens of dark figures leaped down the city wall like ghosts! They were the best of the Imperial Guards and the Eastern Depot! Their movements were as fast as lightning, and their swords flashed like the scythe of death as they weaved through the goblin horde. Every time a sword flashed, one or even several goblins would clutch their throats or hearts and fall to the ground!

Immediately afterwards, some Taoist-dressed cultivators also moved. They did not leap down from the city wall, but stood on the top of the wall, making sword hand gestures and chanting incantations.

"Sword Control Technique, activate!"

Several streaks of light flew out from their sleeves, transforming into sharp flying swords. As if they possessed life, they drew treacherous trajectories in the air, precisely piercing the heads or energy cores of the goblins below! As the sword light flashed, the goblins' shrill screams rose and fell.

However, what is most eye-catching is the location of the group of Qingqiu fox demons.

They did not launch any fierce attacks, but simply stood quietly on the wall, their eyes sparkling, a faint, alluring smile on their lips, looking down.

And wherever their gaze fell, the goblins in that area began to behave extremely strangely.

Some suddenly stopped charging and began to bite at the air; others dropped their weapons, waving their arms and legs and laughing foolishly; still others turned around and launched a fierce attack on their own kind!
The bewitching illusion spell, silently and effortlessly, has driven a region of goblins into a frenzy of infighting!
On the wasteland, the scene below the city wall where the fox demons resided became increasingly eerie and terrifying.

The bewitched goblins had bloodshot eyes and had completely lost their minds. Their ferocity in attacking their own kind was far more savage and primal than when they fought the Qin soldiers in the previous bloody battle!
They no longer use rudimentary weapons, but pounce directly, tearing with sharp claws and gnawing with their fangs, like the hungriest beasts, instantly ripping their own kind to shreds!

However, such frenzied attacks usually don't last long, as the attackers are quickly overwhelmed and torn apart by the surrounding goblins that are not charmed or are dominated by other emotions.

But strangely, as soon as one area calmed down, new goblins were immediately affected, rejoining this deadly vortex of mutual slaughter, seemingly without end.

Ying Shaoyang immediately recognized that this was the charm and illusion magic that the Qingqiu fox demons excelled at. Goblins are naturally weak-willed and have fragile souls; they are almost defenseless against such exquisite illusions and can only be manipulated at will. Chaos spread rapidly like a plague among the dense goblin horde.

Behind them, the stone gate continued to spew forth new goblins like an inexhaustible spring. The number of goblins on the wasteland increased dramatically, reaching a terrifying density.

In this environment, suspicion and fear are amplified to an extreme. Many goblins begin to be wary of each other even before the illusion takes effect, and then strike first to protect themselves!

The entire wasteland seemed to have turned into a giant, self-consuming grinding mill of flesh and blood. Frenzied screams, dying roars, and the sound of bones shattering mingled together, making it several times more brutal than the previous battles against the Qin army! Green blood gathered like streams, quickly staining large swaths of soil a strange dark red.

The suction force of the earth vein channels intensified on its own under the stimulation of this rich blood energy, as if countless invisible giant mouths had opened, greedily devouring the flowing blood, bits of flesh, and even bone powder!
"Om-!"

A grand, seemingly emanating sound, as if from the world itself, faintly arose.

The world of Qin, its thick barrier, and its outermost membrane all seemed to begin a profound "breathing" and "growth" at the same moment! Hundreds of millions of goblins used their lives and souls as the most primal nourishment, which was being frantically absorbed by the world of Qin.

Ying Shaoyang could clearly feel that the size of the Great Qin World was expanding at a visible rate! Originally about one-fifth the size of the Goblin World, it was now rapidly approaching half its size! The origin of the world was growing stronger, and the rules were becoming more perfect in the subtle details.

Looking at the ever-flowing torrent of goblins, Ying Shaoyang's lips curled into a slight smile.

"At this rate, if the two realms truly merge, our Great Qin... will surely gain the absolute upper hand!"

In the wasteland, thousands upon thousands of goblins fall every moment. The blood energy they release at death soars into the sky, mixing with the spiritual rain to form an energy storm of unparalleled value to cultivators. On the city walls, the Qin soldiers, bathed in this energy storm, are experiencing an astonishing increase in strength!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

A continuous stream of breakthrough auras erupted on the city wall like fireworks, numbering in the millions in the blink of an eye! These soldiers who survived the bloody battle and broke through became even more refined and powerful, and they would become the true backbone of the future Qin world.

Ying Shaoyang nodded in satisfaction. This battle had indeed laid an incredibly solid foundation for the future growth of the Great Qin. Lü Zhi, Qu Ruo, Jing Rou, and Zhao Shan exchanged glances and nodded slightly to each other. Lü Zhi then gently waved her hand.

In an instant, tens of thousands of palace maids who were already prepared began to move! Some of the more agile palace maids leaped off the city wall, and with flashes of sword light, although they could not immediately kill the thick-skinned goblins, they were still able to leave wounds on their bodies.

Meanwhile, many more palace maids remained on the city wall, rapidly forming hand seals and chanting incantations, their bodies emanating a cold and eerie aura!

The next moment, a chilling scene unfolded!

Before some of the palace maids, banners emanating a dense black aura, seemingly filled with the wailing of countless vengeful spirits, materialized out of thin air—the Banners of the Wraiths! Before others, however, appeared the size of pigeon eggs, crimson as blood, pulsating slightly as if alive—the Bloodthirsty Beads!
"go with!"

With a clear shout, hundreds of ghost banners, like black phantoms, whistled into the sky above the wasteland! The banners fluttered, and strands of black energy fell like tentacles. The goblins shrouded in the black energy, regardless of their strength, all seemed to have their souls ripped out. Their eyes dimmed instantly, and they fell down in droves without a sound!

At the same time, hundreds of Bloodthirsty Beads transformed into crimson light and disappeared into the goblin horde! Any goblin that was touched by the light of the Bloodthirsty Beads and had wounds on its body experienced a terrifying suction force, causing the blood from its wounds to spurt out violently, like streaks of blood flowing towards the Bloodthirsty Beads!
In the blink of an eye, these goblins were as if they had been dried up for countless years, turning into mummies, and were then trampled into powder by their chaotic companions!
With fewer than a thousand palace maids, this extremely vicious magic weapon killed and injured over a million goblins in an instant! The Yin Soul Banner absorbed a massive amount of living souls, and the black aura grew increasingly dense, with more distorted faces faintly appearing on the banner's surface;
The Bloodthirsty Bead, having drunk its fill of blood, seemed to have expanded in size, its blood-red light dazzling! The palace maids did not stop, continuously casting spells and incorporating new restrictions into the magical artifacts, causing the power of these demonic artifacts to increase at an astonishing rate. A cold wind howled, and a bloodthirsty aura permeated a corner of the city wall!
The four women, including Lü Zhi, glanced nervously at Ying Shaoyang, fearing that His Majesty would blame them for using such an evil magic weapon that was against the natural order.

However, Ying Shaoyang merely glanced at it indifferently before looking away, as if he hadn't seen it at all. The four women immediately felt relieved, and joy flashed in their eyes.

They exchanged glances and immediately summoned their personal maids, handing over some of the radiant magical treasures that Ying Shaoyang had bestowed upon them.

These palace maids were even stronger. After receiving the magic weapon, they flew down without hesitation!

"Om-!"

A dazzling sword light, hundreds of meters long, cascaded down like the Milky Way from the heavens! Wherever the sword light passed, large swathes of goblins melted away like snow under the sun, unable to even utter a scream! Although wielding a magical artifact that was not refined by themselves was extremely taxing, these palace maids had all cultivated their primordial spirits and had a solid foundation, so they could still sustain themselves.

With the palace maids' intervention, over a million level-one goblins were slain! The power of magical artifacts was a devastating blow to these goblins who relied primarily on their physical bodies!

Seeing the astonishing power displayed by these magical treasures, Ying Shaoyang's heart stirred slightly.

As he uttered the command, many idle magical treasures that had been suppressed in various mountains of the Great Qin and used to set up spirit-gathering formations began to hum and transform into streaks of light that shot up from all directions, like a meteor shower that had been summoned, and rushed straight toward this desolate battlefield!

"This...this is?!"

The Taoists who were controlling the flying swords were the first to notice. They looked at the flying magical treasures and felt the immense spirituality and pressure within them, which far exceeded the flying swords they had forged. They were stunned at first, and then their faces showed a look of wild joy!

Thousands of Taoist priests faced the direction where Ying Shaoyang was, bowing deeply with great excitement.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for bestowing this treasure!"

Ying Shaoyang didn't say much, but simply stretched out his finger and gently pointed at the wasteland.

In an instant, his divine sense connected with the thousands of flying magical treasures, and his primordial spirit power, like an invisible network, covered the entire wasteland! With a slight thought, the various magical treasures, based on their characteristics, automatically sought out their targets—

Some transformed into lightning, crashing down and turning a patch of goblins into charred remains; others unleashed endless vines, entangled, strangled, and sucked the goblins dry.
Some unleash raging floods, their waters imbued with a chilling, soul-crushing power; others transform into colossal millstones, slowly rotating and grinding goblins within their range, along with the surrounding space, into the most basic energy particles…

Under his incredibly precise control of his primordial spirit, swarms of goblins before him fell dead in all sorts of unbelievable ways! The efficiency and the extent of the damage far surpassed any previous attack!

In front of the city wall, the goblins that were originally densely packed together were harvested as if by an invisible scythe, and a large area was instantly cleared out!

The goblins surging from behind witnessed this terrifying sight and instinctively screamed in terror, trying to retreat. However, the massive stone gate continued to pour out new goblins like an out-of-control sluice gate, and the fear in front could not be transmitted to those behind.

The goblins at the forefront were relentlessly pushed forward by the surging "torrent" behind them. They screamed in despair, but could only watch helplessly as those death-like figures flew down from the city walls and the sky. In the blink of an eye, a life ended.

Many ordinary, weaker goblins were trampled to death by their companions in the extreme crowding and chaos, before they could even react, turning into a blurry mass of flesh and blood on the ground.

In an instant, the wasteland was once again covered with layers upon layers of corpses and nauseating flesh, and the green blood almost formed a shallow swamp.

Ying Shaoyang frowned slightly and gently touched the He Shi Bi jade that was floating beside him.

hum!
An invisible wave swept across the entire wasteland. The next moment, something astonishing happened—the mountain of goblin corpses and the splattered flesh on the wasteland vanished without a trace in an instant! It was as if an invisible hand had wiped them away in an instant!

At the same time, in various parts of the Qin world, especially in those relatively barren lands, space fluctuated slightly, and these flesh and blood containing considerable energy appeared out of thin air.

The spiritual energy they emitted immediately began to nourish the parched soil, while the flowing energy of heaven and earth acted like the finest millstone, impacting and breaking down the flesh and blood into the most basic powder, which was then completely integrated into the earth and transformed into the most fertile nutrients.

The huge crater, which had been almost completely filled with corpses, was revealed again, and then quickly filled again by the continuous influx of bewildered goblins...

The area in front of the city wall was temporarily cleared, but the slaughter did not stop. The Imperial Guards, the Eastern Depot's inner guards, fox demons, palace maids and eunuchs who had cultivated special Taoist arts, and Taoist priests, like tigers among sheep, roamed freely across the wasteland. Wherever they passed, goblins fell like cut grass, and the thick stench of blood almost solidified the air.

On the city wall, a young soldier who had just broken through to the next level and whose breathing was still a little unstable stared intently at the goblin corpses below, especially those individuals that had clearly reached the first level of life. He couldn't help but lick his dry lips and whispered to his companion beside him.

"If I could go down there... and get some of those monsters' flesh and blood... maybe I could advance another level!"

His voice wasn't loud, but it resonated with the equally exhausted yet eager-to-become soldiers around him. Many looked down with burning eyes; in their eyes, those were no longer terrifying monsters, but "great elixirs" that could help them break through their bottlenecks! Even the blood-forged weapons in their hands seemed to convey a thirst for the life force below. (End of Chapter)
