Origin Paradise!

The Three Mountains Daoist retreated a dozen steps with lingering fear. Fortunately, Xie Anan had given him the Qi Luck White Fish. In a short time, the power of rotation and the earth ant perfectly combined to transfer the damage to the ground. However, as a sacred beast, the mighty hero's combat power was actually forced to this point by the peak of the Golden Realm. It was simply a reversal of the natural order.

call!

Jiang He suddenly turned his head, and a hand covered in golden Sanskrit characters swept across his neck. The heavy breathing of the "Barbarian Khan" contained the stench of corpses. The Divine Transformation - Vajra Wrath had given him an immortal-level body that was sturdy and resilient. Especially with the support of a hero's body and energy, his defense was astonishing.

boom!

Jiang He elbowed the man in the chest with incredible speed.

The crisp sound of ribs shattering rang out, and the "Barbarian Khan" spat out a mouthful of black blood, mixed with white bone fragments. But in the face of terrifying force, he forced himself to stand firm on the spot, the earth surging like waves, and the earthy yellow light illuminating his body.

This is the power of the sacred beast, the Earthworm.

Whoosh!

The Three Mountains Taoist charged forward from the front. In a short time, a power similar to that of a pseudo-Daoist gave him great confidence. His ram head was lowered, and three extremely sharp horns protruded. The earthy yellow halo contained the power of the earth, making him incredibly solid.

Attack from front and back.

Jiang He's expression remained unchanged.

Up to this point, nothing unexpected has happened; neither the Twenty-Four Generals of Qinhuai nor the Old Master of the Moral Sect have appeared.

"You overestimate these three."

"In that case, you can pack your things and prepare to die."

In an instant, a flash of silver light appeared.

The moment the Eternal Dragon Spear was born, an endless stench of blood swept across all directions, as if tens of millions of living beings were wailing madly, cursing the master of the Dragon Spear with hatred and fear.

Jiang He gripped the silver dragon spear and swept it horizontally.

The unparalleled force and weight converged, unleashing extreme sharpness to shatter the "Barbarian Khan." The severe damage extinguished any remaining life force, and from within the blood mist, a distant cry of pain echoed.

One shot killed him; the "Barbarian Khan" fell.

The Three Mountains Taoist's expression turned to one of utter horror, but Jiang He's pace was too fast, giving his prey no room to maneuver. The silver spear light rapidly magnified in his vision, then pierced through his skull, and the ferocious dragon shadow tore at his soul.

"Move!" the Three Mountains Taoist roared in his heart.

With the combination of the Luck White Fish and the Earthworm, half of the land in Dongyongzhou City was shattered into dust. However, the boundless killing power originating from the spear tip continued to be unleashed. The pitch-black poison poured into the wound, and as the Luck White Fish vanished with a bang, an irreversible death descended.

boom!

The head of the Taoist priest of the Three Mountains exploded.

[Note: The Executive's exclusive mission has been completed.]

[Hint: You have obtained an Immortal-grade Armor Shattering Gem]

On the banks of the overflowing Fen River, Xie Anan's steps faltered, and he returned to his original spot, his eyes blank.

too fast!

In the blink of an eye, two powerful land immortals perished, as if the outcome of the battle had been decided from the moment the silver spear appeared.

Despair crept onto Xie Anan's face little by little.

Six months ago, he would never have believed that he would face death in such a powerless manner.

"Your Majesty, the lands of Wu and Jiangnan still haven't been fully absorbed, so why the ruthless extermination?" Xie Anan asked with a mournful face. "The Pei and Xie clans and the six great families have already surrendered, so why can't they give us a way out?"

"Silver," Jiang He said calmly.

Xie Anan looked incredulous and said with difficulty, "As long as His Majesty issues the decree, how could we not readily offer up such mere gold and silver?"

Jiang He looked puzzled; wouldn't it be faster for him to snatch it himself?

Xie Anan's eyes gradually hardened, and the black and white millstones reappeared. When the power of the millstones was aimed at his own life force, his whole body seemed to be burning. The black and white millstones rapidly increased in size, like a house enveloping his body. Just like the leader of the Demonic Cult, this move, "Between the Great Houses," was his last resort and desperate measure.

Jiang He snapped his fingers.

Xie Anan suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood. He suddenly remembered that right here on the banks of the Fen River, the emperor had bestowed upon him an ordinary carp.

"I already told you, this is your last meal before you're executed."

The legendary level of the poison defeated Xie An'nan, and the evil poison spread along his bloodline, poisoning the remaining Xie clan members hiding in Nanliang. Jiang He swung his gun and smashed the "mansion", and casually swept Xie An'nan's head off.

Theoretically, the best time to kill Xie Anan should have been before A Da became the leader of the martial arts alliance.

However, it doesn't make much difference to Jiang He. During this period, he can kill anyone who shows their face instantly. After all, most ordinary heroes who have just been promoted don't have time to master the Divine Transformation.

A gemstone is inlaid at the end of the dragon spear.

[Note: Your signature weapon gains 100% bonus armor shatter damage (Immortal-grade armor shatter gem +17)]

Jiang He fed the Nine Dragon Sword to the Dragon Spear.

[Hint: Your signature weapon has received a slight upgrade; it's as heavy as a small mountain, yet effortlessly powerful (3/7)]

[Note: Your exclusive weapon, Soul Weapon, has devoured the souls of nine dragons, officially advancing to the True Dragon level. Soul Weapon's soul damage has increased by 120%, currently at 320%.]

Jiang He read the detailed prompts. The so-called "True Dragon Level" does not refer to a specific level of life or era, but rather a life form. Just like Aya always remained in the "snake" form, her form development was not upward climbing, but horizontal enhancement.

It's worth mentioning that, thanks to the Hunter's Core Ability: Heroic Spirit, Aya ascended to the level of a complete hero with the feat of becoming the "World Serpent," reaching a size of 100,000 meters, which may one day allow her to truly circle the world.

[Hint: Main quest ⑤ has been released]

[Mission Name: The Final Battle]

[Mission Brief: Due to the restoration of contact between the Celestial Observation Pavilion and the World of Chasing Deer, the World Core has merged with the Dragon Vein (and cannot be moved). The Dragon Vein is expected to emerge in fifteen days, located in Chang'an City. Once a player on the battlefield occupies the Dragon Vein, a timer will begin. The side that holds the Dragon Vein for thirty consecutive days will gain 50% victory.]

[With the unification of Northern Wei, the victory rates of Southern Liang and the Western Barbarians have dropped to 50%. Additional rewards will be given to the Southern Liang side, the party with the advantage, for their greatest contribution at this stage. If the "Dragon Vein Occupation Side" differs from the "Unified World Side," a second phase of competition is expected to begin, witnessed by the Pillar of Eternal Marrow.]

[Mission Requirement: Seize the Dragon Vein (World Core)]

[Quest Reward: Ouroboros Heart (Legendary)]

[Task Time Limit: 90 calendar days]

[Task Penalty: None]

[Note: The Heart of the Ouroboros can upgrade the Soul Armor - Final Knight to Sub-Legendary level.]

Jiang He heard the notification sound. For players who came from the End and All Beings, the penalty for the final battle should be annihilation. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be many players willing to fight to the death with him.

The next moment, he tore through space and returned to the capital.

……

The first year of the Kaihuang era, the third month.

A self-proclaimed "Hero" swept across all sides, recruiting the strongest warriors in the world to form a martial arts alliance, officially becoming the leader of the martial arts world, and using this as a great achievement to advance to the rank of hero. After joining the Northern Wei court, he ranked first among the Four Pillars of State and the Four Generals.

Meanwhile, news of the dragon vein's emergence spread throughout the forty states of the north and south. After Emperor Xiaowen fell seriously ill and fainted, the remnants of the Reading Guild took over the Northern Wei court. When Emperor Xiaowen accidentally "awoke" on his sickbed, he appointed four regents, two of whom were from the Reading Guild and the other two were also battlefield players.

Under the leadership of the four regents, the Northern Wei formed an alliance with the Western Barbarians, and the Prince of Pingxi of the Five Provinces gathered his troops to enter Chang'an in Yongzhou and surrendered to both sides.

In an instant, troops from all over the country converged on Chang'an in Yongzhou. The Southern Liang court dispatched three legions—Ansai, Changling, and Sanwu—along with the legions from the three prefectures on the western defense line, totaling 530,000 troops, claiming to be a million, to threaten Chang'an, with Xiangyang and Luoyang as the front lines against the enemy.

At the same time, more than a dozen player adventure groups and guilds, after developing in the early and mid-stages, demonstrated an amazing ability to produce troops. Especially with the puppeteer in control of the Western Barbarians, the player group massively eroded the native forces. Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei was still bedridden, but the four regents said that His Majesty had decided to personally lead the expedition.

In an instant, the world was in turmoil.

Bingzhou during the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The elite troops of the six garrisons gathered here.

Pingyang Village in the county is a small village with only 300 households.

"The Northern Wei had a population of 60 million. If you take away the women, that leaves 30 million men. If you take away two-thirds of them, including the elderly and children, there are still 10 million able-bodied men who can fight. If they all go to the battlefield, that emperor will have a hard time."

At the village entrance, the leader of the Wanjiang Adventurer Guild, mounted on his warhorse, brandished his whip and uttered words that left the accompanying adjutant speechless.

The villagers of Pingyang Village gathered at the village entrance, where dozens of armored soldiers escorted the able-bodied men out. The centurion in charge began distributing armor and weapons. The armor was made of clay, and the swords were shaped like bamboo. These items emitted a strange, cold light.

Mud armor – an alchemical item. Theoretically, within three months, its defensive power is comparable to that of a Grade D Yang Steel Armor. The same applies to the matching bamboo weapons. Moreover, with the blessing of the Paladin of the Weapon Adventurer Guild, it can grant the wielder relatively exquisite killing skills, making them equivalent to professional soldiers.

The leader glanced around and nodded in satisfaction. His own Thousand Craftsman Adventurer Group consisted of two alchemists, himself and the vice-leader, while the rest of the members were all alchemy apprentices. They had been lying low since their arrival and were now finally reaping the rewards.

“Very good. Two hundred soldiers can be gathered from a small village like Pingyang. The chances of winning the battle of Chang’an are very high.”

Commander Wanjiang waved his hand and said, "Begin distributing the Zhuyan Pills. Ninety pills for each person. Remember to keep them safe. This will be your military rations for the next three months."

The armored soldiers distributed the deep red pills. Zhu Yan was a sacred beast symbolizing war, contracted by successive emperors of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Zhu Yan pills made from this beast undoubtedly had powerful effects.

A young man with bulging veins on his forehead, but facing elite armored soldiers, his second-realm martial arts cultivation was meaningless. He reluctantly swallowed the deep red pill, and after a short while, a strong feeling of fullness emerged. In addition, a strong fighting spirit surged from his eyes, and he even put on mud armor on his own initiative.

The young men looked at the armored soldiers with eyes full of approval.

The leader of the Wanjiang Guild laughed heartily. The players who could participate in the battle were naturally all elites. With thousands of players displaying their unique skills, it was only a matter of time before they controlled the entire Northern Wei Dynasty. With Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei falling seriously ill, the process was brought forward even more quickly.

The current Emperor Xiaowen is nothing more than a tool to deplete the Northern Wei dynasty's fortunes and create the Zhuyan Pill.

"Soldiers, follow me to battle!"

"Here."

Two hundred new recruits joined the ranks, and the women and children of Pingyang Village cried and rushed forward to pull them away. A plump woman held tightly to a strong young soldier.

"My husband, you're all gone. How are we supposed to live now!"

The young and strong warriors declared with righteous indignation: "If we cannot win the Battle of Chang'an, we will have no tomorrow. In the face of this great calamity, the men of Northern Wei should unite as one and face death without fear!"

The plump woman stared in disbelief; her husband seemed like a completely different person.

“Oh, right.” The young and strong man seemed to have thought of something and said decisively, “You shouldn’t just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Quickly take off your clothes and treat the brothers to a meal.”

"Husband, you've gone completely mad!"

The scene was chaotic, but the leader of the Wanjiang Guild was indifferent. In fact, all twenty-four prefectures in Jiangbei were frantically recruiting soldiers. Northern Wei was like a machine running wildly. As the drivers, the players obviously didn't care about what would happen three months later. If they couldn't defeat the ultimate weapon of the Origin, all the players would die.

As for the Western Barbarians, they were perhaps even more ruthless. Anyone who could ride a horse, regardless of age, gender, or age, was sent to the battlefield. Almost the entire barbarian tribe was a fighting force.

Looking at the woman whose life was slowly fading away, and the villagers who had turned into wild beasts, the leader of the Wanjiang guild couldn't help but shake his head.

"Mo Ke, you've driven people to become devils."

"No wonder the old master was willing to draw his sword for the sake of all living beings. Even I would be heartbroken to see this scene."

……

In the third month of the first year of the Kaihuang era.

The Northern Wei Dynasty mobilized an army of six million and marched straight towards Chang'an.

Four million archers from the Western Barbarians entered Yongzhou.

Such a scale is unprecedented in the history of the Warring States period. With millions of troops stationed in various strategic passes and cities, wild grass and trees became the main food for the army, thanks to the technical support of the Senluo Adventure Team.

Luoyang is located in the northwest of Nanliang.

The four major legions have moved in.

Heading west from here, passing through Mianchi, Shiguan, Hangu Pass, and Tongguan, you can enter the Guanzhong Plain region.

In the former palace of Luoyang, Jiang He sat on the throne, looking at the battle report sent by Wu He, his brows furrowed.

"An army of tens of millions..."

"interesting."

The Guanzhong region is now teeming with enemies. Some players skilled in earthwork are still building cities. Fifteen days have passed, and the Dragon Vein has emerged. The Battlefield Alliance has made Guanzhong as impregnable as an iron barrel. The cooperation between the three players has yielded remarkable results.

Inside the main hall, the high-ranking generals of the four legions stood in a row, each of them a commander-in-chief. Ah Da was not present, so Ah Er and Ah San, as their direct subordinate generals, led them to stand on the right side.

On the left, Lao Hei is in first place, Wu He is second, Zhuang Ya and Si Ning are third and fourth respectively. As for Zhao Shukui, because he is an outsider, even though he ranks very high on the World Ranking, he can only stand at the back, after all, someone has always been nepotistic.

Jiang He pondered as he looked at the battle report. He was cultivating the Divine Silkworm Scripture and wanted to create an ancient savage dragon. He needed to kill 303750 people on the battlefield. If he could win the Battle of Chang'an, he might be able to reach the power of a ninth-level ancient savage dragon. However, because his martial arts foundation was relatively insufficient at the moment, he estimated that it would be difficult to transform into the Saint Spirit level above the legendary level.

"Boss, General Hou Yanshan has sent a secret letter."

"The puppeteer has arrived in Chang'an and has taken control of the Great Shaman who has voluntarily sacrificed himself. It is expected that the more people die in the Guanzhong region, the stronger this Great Shaman will become, and he may eventually surpass the limit and reach the level of a heroic elite above the terrestrial immortals."

Wuhe solemnly said, "There are also the barbarian powerhouses who have been buried in Shaman Mountain for thousands of years. Their corpses have all fallen into the control of the puppeteers. There are twelve people with the combat power of a terrestrial immortal."

The Three Kingdoms Wars revealed the underlying reasons for vying for world dominance.

The Daode Sect also began to cooperate with the Northern Wei. As for the old master, since his first disciple and his wife were killed by the emperor of the Southern Liang, his stance was biased from the beginning. Moreover, the sooner the war ended, the sooner the world would be at peace. Unlike the former demonic sect, the players' identities were extremely hidden. Even the old master, who had spent sixty years fighting demons, found it difficult to find them all. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.

Inside the main hall, everyone awaited the Great King's orders.

General Hou Yanshan's defection was an unexpected bonus. He was loyal to Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei and did not want to see this supreme ruler controlled by the four regents.

Jiang He said, "The Three Wu Legions of the Three Prefectures will remain stationed in place. A'er and A'san will lead the Changling and Anse Legions across the north to Dongyong Prefecture, sweeping across the territory of Northern Wei. Another group of cavalry will head to the Western Barbarians. Luoyang City will be guarded by Zhao Shukui, with Lao Hei and Wuhe in charge."

“I personally led the Evil God Guard to attack Guanzhong, with Si Ning and Aya accompanying me.”
