I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

The sun had sunk below the horizon.

Only a sliver of light remained on the wasteland, staining the purple blood all over the ground black.

Shen Tian sheathed his sword and turned to walk towards Qin Zhenshan.

"Uncle Qin".

Even though Shen Tiangui was the Lord's personal guard, his way of addressing Qin Zhenshan remained unchanged.

However, Qin Zhenshan changed how he addressed him.

He immediately stepped forward.

"Your subordinate is here."

Shen Tian turned his head and glanced at the corpses of the Purple Spirit Clan scattered all over the ground.

"All the bodies were disposed of on the spot, not a single one was left."

"Let's burn it all down."

"clear."

Shen Tian then looked at Chi Xiao.

"Senior Chixiao, please stay and assist Uncle Qin."

"We will conduct another thorough search within a 50-mile radius of this area to ensure that no one escapes and no one is left alive."

Chi Xiao nodded, sword in hand, a glint in his eyes.

Shen Tian is a decisive and ruthless man, yet he is also incredibly meticulous, taking every detail into consideration.

"Don't worry, not even an ant can crawl out."

Shen Tian said no more and turned to walk towards the three spaceships.

"Inspector Zhou, Chu Feng, come with me."

The two immediately followed. The sound of their footsteps echoed on the scorched earth.

Behind him, Qin Zhenshan began to mobilize manpower and issue orders.

The warriors of the Po Jun Division drew their swords and finished off the corpses on the ground, making sure several times that no one was faking death.

Then, one fire after another was lit. They crackled and popped.

The vast wilderness was illuminated by the firelight.

Everything is proceeding smoothly.

Shen Tian walked up to the first Purple Spirit Clan spaceship and stopped.

Three heavy transport ships, each 100 meters long, stood in a row, their purplish-black hulls resembling three sleeping giants in the twilight.

Chu Feng stood behind him, his gaze fixed on the dense spiritual patterns on the side of the spaceship.

The Purple Spirit Clan's spaceships are naturally subject to their restrictions.

It's not something that ordinary outsiders can use.

but.

Shen Tian was not an outsider; he had obtained the complete memories of the Purple Spirit Clan.

A purple-gold spiritual flame slowly emerged from between his brows.

The moment Shen Tian's spiritual power seeped into the spaceship's outer shell, all the purple spiritual patterns covering the cabin walls lit up.

The spirit pattern array began to operate rapidly, and purple light spread from the bow to the stern, then returned to the hatch from the stern.

The entire process takes no more than three seconds.

Then--

Click.

The hatch popped open.

The hum of the engines came from deep within the spaceship, gradually increasing in intensity as it started up smoothly.

When all the restrictions were lifted, Chu Feng was taken aback, but he wasn't too shocked.

Shen Tian could repair even large-scale war puppets in an instant, so breaking through an aircraft blockade was a piece of cake for him.

Soon, Shen Tian started all three planes. The Purple Spirit Clan's planes could be autopiloted; once the destination was set, everything else was taken care of.

Shen Tian sat in the front row of the cabin. The clouds outside the window were burned orange-red by the setting sun, and the light shone on his face through the porthole, creating a play of light and shadow.

He wasn't afraid of Xu Daozhen, but he wasn't stupid either.

He killed Lin Hai and slaughtered the vanguard of the Purple Spirit Clan. Although Lu Changming could do his best to help him cover up the truth and not reveal his name.

But sooner or later, this matter would reach Xu Daozhen's ears.

Even if he didn't know that he was the one who killed Lin Hai and the Purple Spirit Clan, he was definitely involved in this matter.

Moreover, as a ninth-tier expert, who knows if he might have some special methods?

Since that's the case, he should prepare for the worst.

If he were Xu Daozhen, he would do three things.

First, Shen Tian was labeled a "war maniac who undermines the peace process," and a full-scale siege was launched by the pro-peace faction.

Secondly, through the Tian Shu Bureau, orders were issued to the Tian Yun Prefecture, forcing Lu Changming to hand over the person.

Finally, there's force. A ninth-tier expert can kill someone without any reason.

This is the worst-case scenario.

and so--

Shen Tian opened his eyes.

He must solidify his base before Xu Daozhen takes action.

Tianyun Prefecture was his base of operations.

The territory of Tianyun Prefecture extends for two thousand miles and includes eight garrison cities.

More than half of the land has fallen, occupied by strange beasts that occupy nearly half of the vast territory.

It contains countless resources: mineral veins, crystal cores, materials from exotic beasts...

What he needs to do is concentrate his forces and, starting from Fengcheng and Jiangcheng, radiate outwards to sweep through the surrounding areas.

In the shortest possible time, clear out all the strange beasts from the occupied areas within Tianyun Prefecture.

He's already doing it.

Over at Blackrock Valley, Lei Wanshan led his men to advance.

In Jiangcheng, the Po Jun Division can also be deployed to other garrison cities at any time.

But it's not fast enough.

Without taking action themselves, the warriors of the Breaking Army Division have an overwhelming advantage when facing alien beasts thanks to the attribute and talent sharing of the [Slaughter Commander].

But this is only under combat conditions. To completely wipe out the vast occupied territories, they would have to be found one by one.

At the current rate, it will probably take several months.

Although this was fast enough to make ordinary people's jaws drop, Shen Tian still felt it wasn't fast enough.

Of course, that was the situation before.

Everything changed after the leader of the Purple Spirit Clan sent him a war puppet.

Previously, when building up an army, Shen Tian needed to wait for promising talents from Longyuan Martial Arts University or recruit martial artists from society.

But once the quantity increases, the quality will immediately decline, which is not what Shen Tian wants to see.

Things are different now; mass-producing troops is much simpler, all you need to do is set up an assembly line.

Those steel warriors will produce them continuously.

In the upgraded "Weapon Forging Secrets", the forging of war golems and the construction of spirit signal towers are all unlocked.

The Purple Spirit Clan had invested countless efforts in building a war industrial system based on spiritual power, but Shen Tian moved it back home in a single battle.

Therefore, he wanted to bring these things back to the Tiangong Division and establish a complete production line.

He is now the director of the Heavenly Crafts Bureau.

The Tiangong Division's arsenal, weapon-making division, and infrastructure were all under his control.

They grafted the Purple Spirit Clan's technology onto the Heavenly Crafts Bureau's industrial system, using human weapon-smiths to mass-produce the weapons.

Once the mental signal tower is built, mentalists will be able to remotely control puppets to fight.

By then, clearing out the monsters will no longer require soldiers to risk their lives.

The puppet is gone; when it dies, it is recreated.

Machines are not afraid of dying, and machines do not need rest.

And for every beast killed by the puppet, the kill value is still counted on Shen Tian's head.

This is a self-circulating system that keeps growing bigger and bigger.

Until not a single strange beast remained within the entire territory of Tianyun Prefecture.

Of course, the most important thing is one's own strength, which is the foundation of everything.

No matter how many soldiers or puppets you have, they're all just paper in the face of a ninth-tier expert.

Shen Tian lowered his head and brought up the system panel.

The kill count lay there quietly.

Kill Points: 356,020

Four hundred and one thousand.
